Have given up watching. Too formulaic and Blue Peter talk.

I thought this week's episode was a real improvement, mainly because the family didn't buy much in the way of junk - instead were just disorganised with their shopping - and the recipes were better than previous weeks. For once most of the choices appeared to be healthy, it wasn't simply a case of substituting junk with cheaper junk.

I thought the woman was a bit annoying at first, but I did warm to her in the end.


The thing that made me grin, was when she served the fish and chips in a bowl.... surely fish and chips is a plated meal!


I liked the look of some of the recipes as well, especially the Moroccan spiced vegetable casserole.


I don't do Facebook myself, but I'll have a look on the net for similar recipes

Have enjoyed watching this series although I don't think any of it is news or rocket science to regular visitors on here. The woman this week was great 'oh...sliced cheese, oh...doughhhballlllls' :rotfl:

Most of what the show in the programme isn't new to me, but I did just buy some frozen pollock (because lidl didn't have any other frozen white fish) instead of chilled hake with a posh knob of herb butter, thinking 'I can make my own herb butter for some and breadcrumb some others' I even have Italian cheese in the fridge. So I guess that did make me think. :A

I find that a meal in a bowl is more 'comforting' .... I have plates I rarely use, most meals I now serve in a bowl - and I plan to buy a small 'pasta bowl' shortly to be my main meal dish of choice.

I know what you mean but I wouldn't eat anything that needed cutting with a knife from a bowl. I eat things like pasta or stir fry from a bowl.

Last week's family bought doughballs too....I must say I can't understand the attraction! What's meant to be so delicious about them?

I rarely use a knife. I curl up on the end of the sofa with a bowl and a fork

I'm with you on that, I don't understand why you'd want more dough with pizza?

Goldiegirl

I've never had a doughball in my life - I'm not even sure when they are served. Are they are starter, or a side to a main meal?

Or are they dumplings by another name?

Garlic dough balls are to die for! They sell them at most supermarkets, and pizzerias:p

They have dough balls in Pizza Express and you can buy the same PE ones in some supermarkets.
