You all take such lovely photos. Mine are rubbish on my old phone.

My phone makes my salad look washed out! It's much greener in real life!
Taking pics in daylight usually helps but not much good if you are taking a pic at dinnertime..
Love mismatched old china plates, there's a teashop near me that has all that style and it looks great (great cakes too).


Here's the choc recipe Flo, it's really quick, I used foil and they came off really easily after about an hour in the fridge.

Thanks Kirri.

Some very scrummy looking meals there out this morning was some yellow sticker rice and nahn bread along with chicken roll for sandwiches. Plan is not to buy anythingfor the rest of the month apart from milk. Be nice to get months shopping for under £60 although the yellow sticker reductions always het me and I then fill thr freezer back up. I have a lot of home grown meat in my mums freezer and considering buying a small under counter freezer? Is this going to ne cost effective? Also best places to get one?

Your meal looks lovely, I love bubble and squeek :T

Nothing out today but I will be stripping the turkey later to freeze it after I have made a lo turkey tikka lasagne with it and a slow cooker full of soup for lunches.

So I bought marzipan to decorate HM Xmas cakes and various other "good ideas". Only used one packet so have quite a few left over, and ready rolled icing. Anyone got any ideas please. Do not think they can be frozen (even if there was room in freezers).
Many many thanks in advance.

Freezer movements OUT

President butter
Riverford 2 Homity pies - offloaded on veggie mother as OH can't eat them now (pastry)

Went out shopping with my mother yesterday and was verry restrained, food wise.

Bought coleslaw and Fruit Factory fruit snack packs (for OH) in Home Bargains, organic Extra Virgin olive oil, 9 bars and Yeo Valley yogurt (both for OH) in ASDA.

Admit I did buy books in Waterstone's.. but got them on Buy One Get One Half Price.

The ready rolled icing I'd be tempted to use on HM Bakewell Tart. :drool:

Not sure about the marzipan. Someone on the boards used to make muffins or cakes and mix pieces of it in before they baked and said it was delicious. Sounded nice.

Kirri that vegetrian food looks scrummy! Also those choccie drops look delish! lol at semi banned butter though.

Gonna brave some oat muffins today using the eggs, i will use the water method, i'm not vunerable at all lol.

dinner will be chicken pieces cooked down with onion peppers and tomatoes, with white rice and braised red cabbage.

Hope you are all well, i have a lack of internet at the moment, hence not posting much.

Me too, mainly marzipan as I make icing from scratch and I find marzipan is cheaper to buy than make.
Anyone, any ideas for using it up. I adore eating it straight from the packet but the calories are horrific so I need to stre....tch it further.

Freezer
out: shepherds pie made last week, ice cream
in nothing,
Having an easy tea tonight, I love bulk cooking it makes life so much easier when you have busy days.

Stupid me - I turned the plug off to a freezer the other day by accident, must have been unplugged for a couple of days before I realised. Don't think I've lost anything as it was full to bursting, just turned it back on and wont open the door for 48hrs

I hope it is all alright zafiro :eek:

We had turkey tikka lasagne tonight with a few lo Indian party bits ff for dinner. I have frozen all the turkey now, all 20 portions of it :j
The carcass is in the sc and I'll turning it in to soup then freeze tomorrow.

I will have a think about the marzipan, i'd be tempted to make it in to chocolate bars
