Oooh thanks- will have a looksee in Lidl's tomorrow- do they sell yeast in there? Sorry more questions- where do you get live yeast?

No idea if Lidls sell dried yeast, tbh. But Messrs A, S, M & T all do! About 50p for 6-8 sachets - and, yes, there is a recipe on the sachet too, as jackk pointed out :-)

Fresh yeast - you need one of the big 4 smkts with an instore bakery - smile sweetly at the person behind the bakery bit and ask for some fresh yeast and more often than not you'll get a lump (depending on the individual store's policy) - enough for 3-4 loaves, usually. And for free too :money:

We are having Pork & Apple meatballs with long spaghetti and HM Passatta tonight and Baked Bean Chili and Rice tomorrow.

Had to buy cereal,fruit,salad and baguette this afternoon but will staying out of the shops tomorrow.

Have made another batch of Marshmallow Krispie Bars using CocoPops lookelike with a very good result.

Also made another £45.00 on ebay today minus p&p.

As OH is in Red Sea I don't know if any of my Premium Bonds have won this month,I usually win £100 + every month so not knowing is really tweaking my doodahs.

Have 63.45 euros left till end of month,many meals frozen and I can be really frugal if need be.

Still wondering about potato sack - can I use potatoes that I leg get eyes and legs??????

annelouise :rotfl:

AnnaLouise, when the recipe for Marshmallow Krispie Bars says toffee what do you use. Please.

Evening all

Anne louise.....

Stand the growbag up on end and about 1/4 fill with compost... stab a few holes in the sides, near the bottom for drainage
plonk the potatoes in the compost(shoots sticking up) 2-3 in a grow bag should be fine..cover with a bit of compost and roll the bag down and water
once the shoots are about 6" tall unroll the bag a bit and cover the shoots about half way up
leave to grow and when the shoots are about 6" tall..unroll more of the bag and throw on some compost to cover them half way again....you do this again..so 3 times in total then leave to grow..watering and unrolling the bag as the shoots get bigger -to stop the light ruining the potatoes..then you just keep watered (they need more water once flowering as this is when the potatoes swell)and depending on the kind of potato... once they have flowered and the flowers are dead...they should be ready to pick
hope that ramble makes sense

MAMA67 - Just used a selection of toffees from a mixed pack I picked up from Lidl.The treacle ones I used with the cocopop lookelike were very good.

I ate the mint ones yum yum.

Hi Suzi

thanks.

where would i find recipes? your lasagne sounds great. could i leave out mushrooms and put something else in hubby wont eat them?

Course you can leave out shrooms,could try different veg too!

Broccoli and Mushroom lasagne
Rated 4 out of 5
A tasty vegetarian layered lasagne.
Ingredients
12 sheets basics lasagne
350g broccoli florets, sliced
2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 garlic cloves, crushed
200g mushrooms, chopped
1 x 400g cans of chopped tomatoes with herbs
white sauce made with 1 0z flour,1 0z butter,½ pt milk (hot)
100g cheese, grated
freshly ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 5.
Cook the broccoli in boiling water for 3 minutes & then drain. Heat the oil in a frying pan, & fry the onion, garlic & mushrooms for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes & simmer for 3 minutes more. Stir in the broccoli & season.
Put a thin layer of the vegetables in four small casserole dishes. Cover each with a lasagne sheet & then with some more vegetables. Top with a little sauce.
Repeat the layers, ending with a lasagne sheet, some sauce & the grated cheese.
Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Allow the lasagne to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Actually I add an extra tin of toms,extra veg and sauce,then cook it in one big dish for an extra 5-10 mins.I then have 2 portions to chill and eat or freeze.
The recipe index is here
