I keep my yeast in the fridge :)
I've put on 14lbsince August :o
I really could do with losing about 21lb to get to 9 stone.
This morning I made a smoothie with orange juice, banana, kiwi and peach :), then I walked the kids to...
I bought it in Waterstones in Brighton a few months ago.
It's a really good book :)
just a thought Bradders - is it sainsbury's own dried yeast?
I had a batch over xmas that just didn't work.
usually i use Dove's dried yeast and never have a problem.
also, don't be tempted to...
I buy the Twinings tea bags. Guess there is a big taste difference though.
We had Grassingtons vegan peppered steaks last weekend and they nearly made me sick :eek:. Been a very long time since I ate meat but they looked and tasted like the real deal - yuck! Great for...
Wow VBB, £5 a tonne!!?? My local council sell it for £5 a bag :dizzy:They charge £40 a year to supply a wheelie bin which they collect fortnightly full of garden waste, let it rot down, then sell it...
I have had my allotment for 1 1/2 years now and the soil is quite heavy clay. We have over half the area as raised beds. Unfortunately, our compost bins haven't provided anywhere near enough to cover...
The BBC have anounced the new main presenter is Toby Buckland. He popped up on the show a couple of weeks ago. Guess we'll have to wait and see. I don't want to give him a hard time before he's even...
Just been potting up my peppers and chillies and planted up a trough of herbs :)
We seem to have a lot of biting ants this year.
Yes, Bob Flowerdew would be good, he's 100% organic :thumbsup:
What about Pippa Greenwood, at least she's veggie :)
I was so shocked when the bbc announced this :eek:I have a huge admiration and respect for Monty Don and felt he was the saving grace of Gardener's World.
Hope he makes a complete recovery whilst...
Looking fab there Cedar :).I would love a polytunnel but don't have enough room left.
The raspberries only went in in the Autumn so the canes have just started shooting. The ones I've got in the...
We dug up the last of our leeks today on the allotment. Onion sets went in last week - reds and whites (keep having to replant the ones the birds pull up).
We also have 1st early spuds (pentland...
I've watched Gardeners' World since I was tiny, and it's always a little strange when there are big changes. I adore Monty Don, I could watch/listen to him all day. For me, the problem with the new...
My eldest son is 19 (20 in May) and when we lived in Croyden he was regularly beaten up/mugged partly because of how he looked (goth/punk/emo). My heart really goes out to this girl's family and...
Just to warn you all:
Sainsbury's now do an olive oil with omega3 (ie. fish oil) which you could easily pick up by accident, especially if you are in a hurry :(
The only reason I noticed was a...
Half price "so good" at sainsburys
Fairtrade pineapples £1.98 each - 2 for £3.00
The only good thing I can say about the taste of flax oil is that it is a teeny-weeny bit nicer than pumpkin seed oil :eek::D
Same as you Aradia - Leeks! Still got quite a few of them on the allotment. Good job we LOVE leek and potato soup here :D
Bryzee, what about going along to your local allotment and seeing if anyone fancies sharing? I know it's not the same as having your own plot but better than nothing while you wait. Lots of people...
Spent a fortune (£60) at the garden centre today. Loads of seed potatoes, onion sets, tomato, sweetcorn, chilli, pepper, beetroot, radish & sweetpea seeds. Lots of dahlia and lilly bulbs (1/2 price)....
mints make me sneeze. and bright sunlight.
How about a nut roast with roast potatoes and all the trimmings?
Cherry has a great recipe at www.parsleysoup.co.uk
One thing I won't be doing on my allotment is getting my shirt off :D
Aradia, is there a recipe to go with that amazing looking cake? :)
Just reporting back on my pasty exploits :D
Being a bit desperate for a vegan pasty and the fact I heated it soo efficiently (can't be too careful reheating things kids:D) I managed to burn the roof...
Not as scared as when you're chilling out on the sofa with a glass of wine at night and one scuttles towards you faster than Lewis Hamilton :D
They don't bother me when they're outdoors, they just...
It's nice to browse through the seed catalogues with a big mug of tea and be all optimistic about spring being round the corner :)
My greenhouse is a right mess, full of manky pots that need...
Fantastic! There is a branch near me in Horsham. I often go in there with a (veggie) friend of mine and I get so jealous when she gets a pasty to take home. I feel a shopping trip comming on :D
Not food related :( but has anyone been to the Burning the Clocks thingy? I was thinking of taking my little ones but it's the day they finish school so it would be a bit of a rush, and I'd hate to...
With Abel & Cole you can pick and choose everything. I heard a whisper last week that they are planning to sell the company so who knows what changes that will make? :confused:
Thanks AMF, that's just what I needed to read right now :)
We've just got back from Cornwall where we had our first experience of Morrisons (none near us at home). I still haven't got over how cheap they are compared to Sainsburys :)
Have any of you read Skinny Bitch? I was in the "Skinny Bitch zone" for 3 weeks and lost 5 pounds but I can never seem to keep it up. Any advice?
Everything is just wet and soggy here. All hopes are pinned on the sweetcorn...
That's exactly what I do Puffin :D
I've made loads from this book and haven't had a failure yet!? :)
Wow Frank Language, thanks for that :)
I think the compost heap will be 80% slugs soon :D
That's great Cobweb, very inspiring to me. I can almost hear my liver thanking me right now :D I'm just worried that if I say I'm not going to drink anymore I will feel under a lot of pressure.
