I'd like to ask a favour please. 
If anyone has JackieO's  'Old Miser's Cookbook'  could you send me a copy?
I was hoping to see a post from Jackie and ask her.  I inadvertently deleted mine when I was tried & failed to send a copy to a friend's daughter last week. 
I've just messed absolutely everything I've touched these past few days.

He weegiewumman
I have sent you a pm
Thanks

A long time ago Jackie loaded the Miser's Cookbook into Dropbox.
I cannot easily say how much I will miss her advice!

Having a read through trying to catchup - I want to be more creative with meals and not waste due to bad planning.  Please can I have opinions on the fate of of the below:
Baking butter bbe 11.2.2020
Plain flour bbe 12.2019
Noodles bbe 02.2020 ( will probably be mid march I finish these if I don't have them for every meal)
Thanks

If all the above look good and smell good they are fine for a long time yet, (assuming that there are no flour weevils in your cupboards, but you you see these if you examined the flour).   link  https://www.highspeedtraining.co.uk/hub/use-by-best-before-dates-difference/

I've just downloaded (and individually screenshot, - not 100% confident on tech) some of the Misers Cookbook. Jackie O has been a Godsend in so many ways - including bringing Rochester to our attention!  A few years back she mentioned Rochester Cathedral in connection with Making Miracles Charity. We went there for the last two years for the Dickensian Christmas Fayre, which is just wonderful. My daughter knits for the Charity now. We've also had a day trip in the summer, which was a brilliant day out. Its a lovely varied yet compact town, close to London with easy transport from St Pancras.   Although I find the new MSE layout clearer, as with a number of other people, I find the "access" to individual threads cumbersome and long-winded, and I'm sure there are fewer people contributing.  It would be great if somehow JackieO could be reinstated - if not I send thanks and very best wishes for everything in the future. x

Takeaway curry that usually provides me with 2 meals is enough for 3 meals - woo hoo
