  • Blimey your prices are so good there! Jealous you have a veg shop too - though I've started going into the African shops/supermarkets and they do have v good prices and sizes of things (fresh herbs especially, got the most amazing armful of fresh thyme for a quid).

  • Ha - just made lasagne for our tea - and had enough left over to make 4 double portions to freeze for DS to take back to uni on sunday. Did the mealplan before the weather turned nice :smiley:

    Shop sounds amazing - we do have a street market that does bowls for a quid but it's rather hit and miss and I don't have enough time to process it to make it worth while (combined with fussy/allergic kids).

    I know I'll be gutted when the kids have all gone but I'm really looking forward to only cooking for 2 and cooking stuff that I can't at the moment - though realise they're like yoyos and they'll keep popping back home

    I wonder if thsi is the right place to air this problem? I have a horrible, brown kitchen. 20 years old. Can I do anything with it at all? Neither of us are at all handy unfortunately. We were quoted 6 k for new doors, some years ago. Its not that big. 6k? Ridiculous!!!
    Paint the doors, new handles Just done ours

    Thanks for the recipe @mumtoomany. Does the jar need to be sterilised or is this a recipe that needs eating within a few days?
