    What goes round,comes round! I have always, always, always, used butter - no synthetic grease for my family! And eggs - I've always bought eggs (2 doz a week when my family consisted of 4 children + 2 adults) now ...surprise surprise - eggs are good for you again!

    I don't "do" frozen chips/pies/processed meals - never have done - always cooked from scratch (now its trendy "clean cooking" - never used jar sauces etc .....cheaper that way too!
    We try cook everything from scratch, try being the important word :D

    Last week i thought i would make homemade fish and chips. Bought some fresh fish, made the batter and even the chips myself but it all went wrong when i fried the fish! They all stuck to the basket :o i now know to take the basket out when deep frying fish but i wish i knew that first!

    I sliced some lurpak straight from the fridge to put on my crumpets earlier...

    I tried Lurpak on my crumpets but most of them seem to prefer either squirty cream or chocolate spread.........:D
    One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.

    Don't worry about finding a cheap middle age spread, Spinkz - it will arrive all by itself without any effort at all. :(
    . . .I did not speak out

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me..

    :eek:

    Rather defeats the object!

    I'd rather not get used to it. I'll take vile tasting medicine on its own and keep butter on my potatoes, thanks. :)

    Forget all these 'spreads', they're just chemical s**t storms! Real butter will serve you far better.
