  • Oh please let me join. :T

    On topic, so we don't get banned what is every one doing about long term butter or marg for using on bread etc and baking?

    I managed to get some tinned marg from Approved Foods in only order I have had with them and main reason I did it and have ordered some Crisco shortening from Am@zon as it has a shelf life of two years unopened and 1 year opened.

    I have never tried Ghee is it nice, suitable for putting on bread and crackers?

    Thanks
    Need to get back to getting finances under control now kin kid at uni as savings are zilch

    Have had a brainwave for the gilets after what GQ said about a gardening top :D The pockets on these will be ideal for stashing things in so I'm going to fashion myself a pinny from one of them,I have spare camo fabric (in every colourway)as I mentioned he only wore it from 2 up until around a month ago.
    The other one I'm thinking either use as a base for Rosies Backpack as the pockets etc are readymade or maybe fashion a bag for when I go foraging/dogwalking etc.

    Have taken some pics of the garden today with its winter crop planting so will get them up tomorrow :D

    Random brain wavelet, could the gilet be converted into a rucksack style go bag? add a lining which also forms the base, shoulder straps and top flap.

    I think you can use oil as the fat in baking and vinegar as a raising agent - check out some vegan recipes for ideas in that regard? obvs vegan diet doesnt include dairy or eggs but I know vegans like cake :D
