UI love rice, but I hate the mess it makes and I can't cook it all nice and fluffy (used to be able to with out thinking, It always came out lovely, but now I just seem to have a mental/culinary block!)

Here is how to make good rice all the time. Add boiling water to cover your rice, stir once (ie one clockface) and leave to boil for about 7-8 mins. Meanwhile put the kettle on to boil. when the time is up, the rice will still be a little hard, but drain it and the pour the just boiled water over it. Now put it back in the empty pan with a lid on and leave for a few minutes. Perfect rice grains that don't stick together :j

Oooh, lots of replies.:T

I think you can be forgiven for the cream eggs smitty I can't imagine they'd be too easy to make from scratch :rotfl:

It's funny how for a lot of us life is just to short to make pastry. Well that and the fact that when I make it it's inedible.:o

However..... If Queenie comes on here and tells me she buys ready made pastry I'll eat my microfibre cloths.

Ok,
I buy expensive bath and shower wash as I have v. sensitive skin. Although this week I have bought sea salt bath salts.

I buy frozen ready rolled pastry

I buy sweet and sour sauce.

I buy one jar of pasta sauce a month where you don't even have to cook the pasta first - bung it all in the oven style.

I buy pizza bases - the completely plain ones with nothing at all on.

Edit: and I still use clinique but now only buy it on a bonus day offer - everything cheaper brings me out in spots or eczema.

i money save all week on our food shopping but on a friday night we have a indian or chinese takeaway and i get a nice bottle of wine and boyf gets beers. we have 2 kiddies and its too expensive for night outs. baby sitters and stuff.

i dont know if its corner cutting but i look forward to it very much.

i also buy bold washing powder and use lenor softner i have tryed the cheap ones but they just dont smell as nice. i just could not money save that way.

and i tumble dry everything so thats not money saving but it saves on the ironing ........

i like this thread

I LOVE frozen hash browns or potato waffles for Sunday breakfast. (Rationalisation to self: They're both cheap in Lidl)

My haircuts cost £40 a pop (RTS: I only go every 3 months and when I was in debt, a friend cut it for free.)

M & S Profiteroles: (RTS: Only once a month and I work hard ALL DAY.)

I use Philosophy's 'The Present'. (RTS: It's not the most expensive skin product and Boots own (etc) are rubbish in comparison.)

I have my hair cut at quite a posh place. I have been going to him for 7 years (ohmigawd, I just had to work that out. I am so boring and stuck in my ways.) I like him, we have a good chat too and it is such a luxury. It's a throw back to my spend what I earn days. But I have cut down to only a trim once every 2 months, not a colour and trim every 4 weeks.

I also have a quite posh car
