Living on next to nought - is that the key?

Yes Greying it was the Mudardara recipe, one of the list you linked for hopefuljoy. This one

I am blessed to have OH, the pretty border collie and a lovely wendy house on wheels, life has thrown some awful stuff at us at times, but in many ways we are very fortunate.

The soup and flat bread look delish, I must remember to try adding yogurt some time:)

Marginally cooler this evening so hopeful of more restful sleep, I hope that it is the same with you:)

Hey lilt - thanks for dropping in and WELCOME. I'd love it if your little'un said 'Henno! Good meetcha' to me - you little 'un is absolutely adorable!

Of course I don't mind you joining in - JOIN IN

Right, let me try to answer your specific questions......

The flatbread recipe is the recipe in Jaymee O'liverz 'Save with Jaymee' cook book for 'Piadina' - which is the Italian version of flatbread. You can find a version of the recipe HERE I'm just talking about the bread recipe - but it does give JO's full recipe, as he made the tuna filling in the book. This link makes 1/4 of the recipe in JO's book - I think it would probably make you 2 medium size flat-breads. I used about 125g of flour tonight and it made 4 flatbreads (one was still cooking when I took the pic). Oh, and what I meant about the yoghurt was I added in a spoonful of natural yoghurt and a splash of water (JO uses all water) to bind the flour together. I think it worked better because the alkali (or is it acids?) in the yoghurt, react with the baking powder in the SR flour (or again, I always use plain flour and add my own baking powder - saves having 2 types of flour about the place )

If you want the recipe for the Tanzanian black-eyed pea soup, just click on the pink wording and it'll take you to the Culinary Cheapskate blog..... is that the blog you meant? If I write a post, pink bold words usually provide a recipe link, green or blue bold are a link to something else on the www and black bold is usually a namecheck of an MSE'r - hope that makes sense

The sort of ingredients that you have in your store cupboards are exactly the sort of things that I cook with. Because the terrific bunch of supporters that drop into this thread on a regular basis wanted me to show *pictures of me tea* you'll find the sort of meals that we have featured on most pages of the thread - if you need some ideas...... If I can provide the recipe, I always add in a link - look for pink and bold words - so that others can cook things themselves if they fancy.

Finally, I dug out some recipes for Hopefuljoy the other day, and they featured lentils, see HERE if there is anything that takes your fancy (just click on the name of the dish and it'll take you to a recipe)

HTH.

Anymore questions - just ask, if I can help, I will - or anyone of a number of knowledgeable folk who stop by this thread will be happy to help you

I can see I am going to like it here!!

I have clicked all available links and stored them as bookmarks. I shall be browsing and probably batch cooking up bunches for work while Jellytot is at nursery tomorrow!! Thank you very much for taking the time to link me to all of that! and for the explanations!

I am off to sleep, although I spy you have posted on my diary so t'would be rude not to poke my head in there night night, and I shall be back tomorrow, probably with pics of my own The best thing I made tonight was accidental bananas and custard. I opened a tin of rice pudding to find it was custard. Learn to read Lilt... A few friends and it became a hot tub party (for the life of me on this redesigned board I cannot make colours or bold work 99% of the time )

Night night!!! :beer:

Greying_Pilgrim

Oh lilt - I can see that your food arrangement and culinary ingenuity is going to .......... fit right in on this thread :rotfl: Brill! I've never used the gnocchi - but I keep on meaning to get a packet to try Nigella's trick - of popping them into the frying pan with a little oil - hey presto, mini-roasties. Something that might appeal to Jellytot? Or even to himself if meat accompanies every meal.


Right, here we go again. Tuesday.

TV guide will most likely be picked up. So prolly not a NSD

A conversation with DP has just probably prinked my braincell into deciding on one of the 'Ash' soups for dinner. I can't remember the exact name of it - but it will feature pulses and noodles - I have made it before. And as there may well be flat-breads again, any newcomers to the thread are going to get the impression that I am a *one-trick* pony. Wereas it is just the case that July 2014 has had 3 *extra* weeks bolted on by an alien life force, each day is in fact just a repeat of the last - hence why it has been so sunny - did you not all get at least a bit suspicious that we had sun. In the UK. In summer??? :rotfl:

I must away and see if any of the ingredients need soaking.

Thank you for popping in, reading and commenting. Always a delight and I remain grateful.

See y'all later.

July truly has been the longest month ever. I agree with your theory.

Hello, alien alert, just been told that even after today there is still more July to come!!
Greying that looks delish, I love soups.
Picked the last of the strawberries last night, but goosegogs look promising.
Supersaver, what do you want to know? I took 2 dresses apart and made 2 skirts and a top from them, then altered a couple of other dresses that had become way too big, and just other running repairs, they were clothes that had been languishing/sulking in the wardrobe for at least 2 years, so it feels like 'new' stuff, that's all.
Tea tonight will be .......nothing. Because fave cous is taking me out for a fish and chip lunch (I love her to bits, ) so I will be stuffed up, and DGS can have the frozen slices of 'scrabble' with some pasta shapes easy peasy. Have a good-un everyone.xx

I second that. I have a skirt that's too big ( lined) and would love to take it in. I'm going to have a look later.
