  • Hello,

    I know what you mean - the sense of security from knowing that you can't lose your house no matter what happens is worth pursuing. I do like the sound of your meals - ours are very dodgy at the moment as we are emptying the freezer. Oh had a leftover portion of lasagne with leftover Singapore noodles. I had some slightly old cheese with slightly soft crackers. Good thing I was absolutely starving....
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Your meals always sound so good :)

  • Hi SSS, my mum made me laugh tonight. I've made baguette pizza but she wanted a tin of soup and egg on toast. However, then fancied the pizza as well :rotfl: Worse than a teenager :)

    Hi SF, DD suggested tonight that we spend the year with no repeat meals. 'You've got enough books to cook something different every day for years' :rotfl::rotfl: I don't think I could cope with that as staples like chilli and cottage pie etc definitely need more than an annual airing.

    Maybe when I've retired :T

    You've just reminded me that I have some sprouting seeds that could do with being put into active service, thank you :D

    Stollen bread & butter pudding sounds lush!

    Hi Tilly.
    Do you happen to have Nigella Lawson Kitchen recipes from the Heart of the Home book?
    If so can you recommend any particular recipes. I got one this year as a gift and it's so thick I don't know where to start! TIA

  • Hi TC, I certainly do. I've come to bed for an early night, but I'll grab my book tomorrow and jot down some favourites :)

    They really cheer up a salad in the winter I think :)

    Typing this and listening to the rain hammering down on the roof :(
