iammumtoone - can you repost the (delicious sounding) pudding recipe with the edit to cook until done if it's not in 15 mins, and I'll add it to the index. Just don't want to add in the original form as future GCers might click on the link but not read ahead to the rest of the convo between you and Flo

spent £9.93 today on some fabric glue (to glue on my sons cub scouts badges) and lunch.

My meal planner is coming together for this week and looks something like this: -

Tonight: Beef Madras curry (home made) chips
Weds: Stir fry
Thursday: beef madras curry +
Friday: fajitas
Saturday: Mexican burger and sweet potato wedges
Sunday Beef Ghou lash
Monday ?
Tuesday: Beef Ghou lash

As for the beef ghou lash, its a hairy bikers recipe which includes peppers. Would it be ok to use frozen peppers or would the dish taste better if I use fresh?

Have a good day all x

Is that the dieters new cook book recipe? I had that last weekend and it was delicious! I used fresh peppers, but I guess you could just put into the mix a bit later than the times suggest?

Just 1.00 spend for me today, halfprice pack of 4 pizzas. These are a good size and I like to add some bacon bits and pop under the grill.

:hello:

Hope you are all well. That's my month started as of yesterday so have been all lonely by myself on the other board until now

I finished my month just under by about £3!!

Im in for £150 again for this month... LO is away the first week with school so can definitely put off having a shop until he comes back, but I want to start putting away some more non-perishables/YS items for xmas so just going to leave my budget the same and hope it evens up

I treated myself to some fruit smoothie from Mr T today as I am a poorly girl... Hoping to boost my immune system before eating whatever is lurking in the back of my freezer :rotfl:

I jest, its all good stuff really

£2 spent/£148 left

Thats a good idea I never though of using glue.

We had chicken and roast pots tonight. I cooked too many potatoes as usual but have put the extras in the freezer (will have with fridays tea). Also the potatoes were past their best today, normally I would have thrown the rest away and got some more but I have used them up by part cooking the wedges for thurs and put in freezer. The chicken has been stripped meat put in freezer, carcass in slow cooker ready to turn on later for stock.

Chicken stock question I will leave stock to cook overnight in slow cooker then reduce on stove in the morning and put in an ice cube tray for freezing. My question is how do I then use the stock cubes? Do I just add boiling water like I would shop brought stock cubes? How much water will I need for one cube? Thanks

Also can anyone recommend some good quality reasonable priced freezer bags? The cheap ones I have don't seem to be very strong.
