    I seem to spend half my life finishing up tubes and pots! Why does the last bit take so long? On the other hand, it must save me money and is better for the environment.

    Good to hear about the Lipsyls!

    Happy Sunday SA - you are a domestic goddess.  

    You have inspired me to make some soup - have so many pulses and lots of veg without alternate purpose so going for it. I do tend to keep veg that is due to go off in the freezer until I have enough to do a large saucepan.

    enjoy the Prosecco xx

    I have to admit that I just cannot make soup and it sounds so simple, I follow the recipe to the letter and it never comes out like soup, I think it hates me :D  Therefore I put my hand up and say Covent Garden and He1nz tomato are my friends.

    I used to be rubbish at making soup, but since I bought my soup maker it’s been a doddle. Can anyone remember those 10 calorie soups you made in a mug? That’s how I started off many years ago 😆
