My minimalist food cupboard currently contains: 150g cheddar, 1 naan bread, 1 packet of cheapo noodles, 1/2 tin of baked beans, 1 tin of mushy peas, 6 potatoes, almost a whole small chilli, a jar of herbs, a small pot of Crab Paste, an unopened squeezy jar of Cheese/Chive Salad Cream and half a tub of utterly butterly bought at Xmas and I'm still trying to get through it.

Sounds like one of those random food list competitions where the contestants have to create a meal.

And cheese

I freeze some cheese, but when i put in on the cheese plate it doesn't go back in the fridge unless its hot weather. Atm we have some amazing cheeses,swapped for eggs. Some i have not tried before which is really especially nice. There were small slices of six different cheeses (very good eggs i guess!) and they have lasted from thirsday late night and i think will get finished tonight.

I stand corrected. Then and again I've never really had any cheeses that you can't find in a supermarket. Also definitely not so hot at the moment... I've had chilblains this week!

The popular cheeses are popular for a reason. They are well liked. Nothing wrong with that. . My very favourite cheese in the world is chaource and you can get that in supermarkets sometimes.

Sorry again NP, my mailbox is full of filth which I will have to take the time to digest properly before deleting it and making space so I can reply....

WE moved round some furniture today and got to the door and couldn't fit the piano through so some idiot decided to take it off its stand and undid all 4 screws at which point it crashed to the floor as it was not designed to balance on the stand not screwed on (as I now know) - piano is probably a goner and a big hole in the laminate - luckily at least the laminate is scheduled for replacement....

You keep margarine in the cupboard?!

Well ... no. In the fridge ... it's all lonely.

That list'll create me loads of meals!

Naan + chilli + cheese + herbs = pizza
Potatoes + cheese + beans
Potatoes + cheese + squirt of the salad cream
Cheese + squirt of the salad cream if/when I buy bread or rolls
Mushy peas + packet of noodles - a very odd combination, but I had that last week to "use stuff up".

One loaf of bread and a few eggs and I can stretch what I've got until I leave ... probably.

A good question, but my frst one would have been "You eat margarine?"

We're currently getting fat because Asda had a deal on Lurpak where you get two full packs and a brownie baking tray for £3. We have a lot of Lurpak now!

I can't catch up anymore. What's been happening please? Each time I come and haven't been for ages I worry that something awful has happened and then I'll pop up and embarrass myself talking about Lurpak.

Just had myself a rare couple of hours peace by crying off the family Father's Day meal.

I saw those through the week but i would need four of those tins for one batch of brownies.....which is a lot of butter. I use a roasting tin for brownies atm, but the little ones might give more edge for peoe who like them less gooey. Personally, i think a less gooey brownie is an opportunity lost.
