    Hey Mint! lovely to see you - and you living the dream over in Cyprus too! Bravo! :T Love hearing that folk have set out to achieve something and do it :D Must try harder myself :o

    This diary is currently in something of a limbo though - I'm not updating regularly, so I may well fall off your list again...... Thanks for your ongoing support though, I do recall you posting on my previous diary :D

    Hi Greying. I feel exactly the same at the moment and I am only posting sporadically. So much going on, but I really want to get back to normal service soon. Partly because I need to make sure I stay on track and partly because I've been helped tremendously by lovely MSEers and Need to ensure I pass that on/give something back. I was in the murky depths and was rescued :D

    Bought some YS mushrooms for 24p in Sainsbugs earlier which helped made a lovely stir fry. YS strawberries for 74p from South glamorgan, they were lovely.

    Ah well, off for a little look around. Good wishes to all.

    GP - I've borrowed the loveliest cookbook from the library that makes me think of you! - "Spice 0dessy - From asafoedtida to wasabi, recipes to really excite & inspire".

    Lovely pics of the dishes & such interesting combinations of spices and flavourings - Thinking of making the butternut & tofu laksa as well as the roasted veg couscous with feta & pomegranate!

    Hey rtandon! - *Spikey Odd Missy* reminds you of me???????

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ah, no, I've read it proper now..... *Spice Odyssey* - right, goggled it and it's by Paul Merrett :T:T See now, there is a chef who know's his stuff :D Him and Allegra did awesome when they filmed *economy gastronomy* - pity the beeb puts style over substance and never really got behind them two :( They really could have helped the nations cooks.

    I hope we're going to get a blow-by-blow account of your kitchen endeavours whilst using this book? What's lush, what's a keeper, what worked *in company* etc etc :D

    Well, I'm half way through listening to Lisa on R2 and making pizza and wedges fer us tea - I know - on a Saturday night :eek: - cuz I wunna......... :rotfl: And yes, coz it is the end of the month and March has been a looooonnnnnnnnnnngggggggg month and we're out of cash........ :(:rotfl:

    Hope you are ALL keeping well :D:D:D
