There's a thread somewhere on the forum called "Preparing for winter" with loads of tips for keeping warm, including lining curtains with fleeces which they reckon is very effective. Back end of winter is a good time to pick up some bargains for things like that.

A question for all the cooks out there please.

I just bought a 6 pack of tomatoes reduced down to 10p. I don't eat fresh tomato but I use them in stews and bolognese etc (usually tinned ones)
Can I cook these down into a passata/tinned tomato type mixture, then freeze it to use next time I make a bolognese? Would you skin them before cooking?

Thanks

BTW I stopped off at my local express of the way back from the parents, and I got 4 fruit & veg things for a total of 46p... very impressed!

I skin them before freezing them. I then freeze them whole and use them with a big boy's breakfast instead of tinned tomatoes.

A bit warmer than here, but by no means truly warm in February I'm afraid. It's one of the coldest months even in Portugal. Usually the weather starts turning in April and in May you can get some really warm (beach-going) days as well. But February is real winter... Or as "real winter" as the Portuguese get. Afterall, temps bellow 10C are considered freezing cold over there. Have fun!

I love the Algarve, absolutely beautiful beaches. We got a bargain appartment in Alvor last March, and were lucky with the weather. I've never been in February though.

Whoever manages Jedward should get the England job. If they can get a performance out of them two imagine what they could do with a team!

Mr T's in "The town with a castle with a leaning tower" has LOADS of reduced jars and tins of baby food, Cow and Gate, Organix. Prices are 11p, 15p, Check the dates though. Some are dated later this year but loads are dated 2013. They are in the RTC section.

I like a jar of baby food when I'm feeling ill, I should have got some when i crawled out for milk. I warm it in a saucepan with a pinch of salt

No, you will have paid the equivalent of £1 each in tesco and that's what they go on for JTD.
