Evening all

Hi Nikkihawkins and welcome ...will pop you on the list in a second..

Kaz.... if the soup is too salty -do you like mint? only my batch at the weekend was quite salty (mind hubby likes a lot of salt)..so i put a huge dollop of mintsauce in..it lifted the flavour and hubby loves it -might be worth a try if it rescues it

Egon ..lil_me..is one of you there ..another daft question.. is malt extract... malz extrakt the kind that you stick in malt loafs etc??.... it sounds right but thought id check Oh and i spotted maismehl today for €1.49 and not €1.99 like i paid...in the same bloomin shop..on its own near nothing related :rolleyes: ..so at least i can get it cheaper next time :j ohh and im now in search of tapioca flour which is wiessmehl i think -but no joy so far

I don't bake sweet stuff very often but i could go scatty in the aisles here.. especially the herbs n spices section :eek: oh and do we know what rossa beenen are -i think thats the right spelling -they looked like pink peppercorns but the skins were flaky why do i want to buy things when i don't know what they are for :rotfl:

Well i will have to pop out tomorrow as i need to pick up a cabbage -i love HM coleslaw..and as hubby is away from the weekend i will be eating loads with cooked meats for lunches ..and i need oranges ...i have an addiction ..that should be it..unless anything else catches my eye

:hello:
Good evening everyone and welcome to all the new posters.

Popped to morrisons late yesterday evening and spent £14.10.
Managed to get some bogof's and some whoopsies as well. Freezer well stocked up.

Called at tesco for Both mine and OH mum. Got everything needed plus they had some reduced bread ( that is sitting in my freezer now;) ) So in total about £11 spent on us. We are well stocked up on cereals now as when we were there someone was reducing all the cereal boxes that had been damaged. All reduced to half price. So OH is happy .

Will have to buy milk tomorrow. Did not buy any today as we was not going straight home after shopping.

Signature updated.

MRS MC would you be able to post the recipe for duck pancakes or direct me to where I can find it..
