@maman - I always make my porridge with all water.  I just weight out the porridge oats and then add the water and leave to sit for at least 10-15 minutes before nuking it for about 2-2.5 minutes.  Sometimes I add a splash of milk from HEA but not always.

Afternoon all

Well done to the losers .

I see a lot of people make porridge with water then stir in some greek yoghurt to make it creamy.

Get stocked up!

Thanks @bubbs.  I'm going to Tesco tomorrow so will definitely be picking up cauliflower.  Don't really need the others but might pick them up to freeze.

Denise potatoes are worth getting taken out the plastic keep for ages , just got sains going to edit the post now

I always take my potatoes out of the plastic and put into either a paper sack or.a black lined veg bag.  I also dry them off properly before I put them in but they still only seem to keep for a week or so.  I just wish they'd stop putting them in plastic bags and dry them off properly before they sell them.

When I've grown them myself they definitely kept ages because I made sure they were dried before putting them away.

Thanks for all the veg prices @bubbs. I'll definitely get some of them. I made up swede and carrot mash from the Christmas veg wars. I think I'll try my own ready to roast parsnips this time and definitely potatoes. I might wait until towards the end for those as I've got plenty at the moment. 🤔
