    Ooh, that would be good. And thats a lovely flower pic, Pippi, very beautiful.

    As for the Victorians who interviewed you ... really!!! It is a bit shocking, isn't it :eek:

    Still, enjoy your spag bol - haven't had spag for ages, though I eat pasta every day. Slurping action is needed :D

    Had to laugh at the chickens and the dogs - Joyce at the farm has chickens and a thriving farm gate egg business (tourists absolutely love seeing a field of happy chickens scratching around). I once drove past to see a chicken chasing a calf, who looked as if he couldn't quite work out why he was running away from it!

    :rotfl: - mine is just our magic ratio repeated over and over and over again - 0.5 plate greens - 0.25 plate protein - 0.25 plate starch - some herbs/spices/healthy fats thrown in for good measure - of course using up all the red stickered items as we go along & trying not to have the same thing twice in one week (all whilst keeping to the meagre budget!)...;)
