I feel a pastry-making session coming on. :j I have some eggs that need using so a couple of quiche-y tupe things - tuna and sweetcorn quiche, sausage and onion. I fancy the school dinner cheese pie though and might make a treacle tart too. Thinking that I'll freeze portion sizes of all for later in the month.

Thanks for the inspiration tooties!

well done on getting back on track - that's exactly the thing that I need to do and I'm really struggling with at the moment...:mad:

Please can someone direct me to the apple/cheese/salami braid recipes you all keep referring to?

For anyone who is struggling to get dishcloth cotton, you can just use ordinary 100% cotton yarn if you see some cheap in the wool shop.

A lot of the American knitting sites have washcloth patterns (flannels) that are done in colours often with a pattern in.
There is a pattern for a basketweave dishcloth on www.homespunliving.blogspot.com I have made this one but just in white as I didn't have any red yarn.
Just to show off, I have posted a piccie of it on the knitters thread. (smug smilie)

If anyone wants to have a go, I have got loads of cotton yarn. For some reason I bought 2kg of white cotton on hanks about 6 years ago and it has sat here unused until now.
I am more than happy to send enough yarn to anyone who wants to try a dishcloth. (numbers permitting of course).
PM me if you want more info or a package of yarn and a pattern.

I think I'm going to have a bash at making the raised pork pie in Thriftyladys wartime Thread.I have loads of salad stuff languishing in the fridge and hubby is on lates so a cold tea will mean I dont have to start cooking when he gets in.I would normally make Quiche Lorraine though as it goes down a treat with the kids but have some sausagemeat in the fridge that needs using up

Hi, I have a question for the breadmakers.. I tried for the 1st time today to make bread by hand... alls fine except I lined the tin with greaseproof paper and when the bread came out it stuck to the paper so on peeling away so did the bread! Any suggestions as to what I should or should not be doing please.... I do have a bread machine but all my attempts have been bricks, the only thing thats been a success has been the pizza dough.

Thanks
