Talking about turmeric paste, my massage therapist gave me a recipe to try.

Find a glass that holds 250mls and use it to measure out 125mls volume of turmeric, i.e.half the glass. Put the turmeric into a saucepan with 250 mls water and heat gently, stirring, till thick (about 7-10 minutes). You might have to add a little water to prevent burning. Once thick, add 70mls coconut oil and one and a half teaspoonsful freshly ground black pepper and mix well. Put into sterilised jar or jars and when cool store in fridge. Keeps up to 4 weeks. Add a bit to curries, stews, soups when cooking, or add a quarter teaspoonful to a mug of warm milk with a little honey for a bedtime drink. Supposed to be a good alternative to non steroidal painkillers, I am currently testing that theory.

Just thought i'd pop in and say hello


I have spent a few evenings catching up on this and your previous thread and it has really resonated with me. I have also noted several folks here from the original MFi3 thread.....


Absolutely love your take on life and endless gorgeous recipes.


We are about to embark on a new stage in our life. Have planned for a few years to be closer to family and 'downsize' life, house, job etc. Hasn't all gone to plan, been an up n down kind of year but we're finally getting there. Looking forward to unpacking after more than a year! (we did get rid of a lot of STUFF) and getting back on the MSE wagon fully.


It has been refreshing to listen others' enjoyment of a simple life - something we will need to do because of a lower income, but we also WANT to do. We have missed having an allotment & regular baking - Courgette Chocolate Cake anyone?


As you have noted often before, not everyone in RL 'gets' the MSE way - but it has put us in the lucky position we are in today.


Anyway, enough from me - thanks for listening x

Yes, we were in London.
My eldest brother lives there so fortunate to have a base and the train tickets funded by MrT & TCB points.
Was rather impressed by DS1 - he needed clothes as 6th form is non-uniform but our kondo-ing has clearly had an effect and he wanted a few things he really liked to wear. Backed up by some basics from Primarni & a couple of local charity shop purchases (Harris Tweed jacket and original Aqu@scutum short mac for £8), he bought a few distinctive t-shirts from shops' sales and markets, and it worked out v well.
And we ate so well, making the most of lunch and pre-theatre deals. Lovely to have such a choice of different places to go; our only rule was that it must not be a place that we have access to at home.

Verbatim

Sounds like you had a brilliant time and good mother son bonding too.

Good evening one and all.

Sorry to hijack your thread Greying but do you happen to have the recipe for Twinks Hobnobs please?

Twinks Hobnobs recipe

Who are the lucky recipients going to be starnac? And do we get first dibs on *leftovers* ?? (as if there will be leftovers!!! )

Edit: starnac, you may want to use slightly less than the 8oz of sugar stated in the recipe - it does make a very sweet biscuit.
