for fabulously frugal food
More kitchen stuff today. While we were busy, I took out a couple of meals from the freezer for dinner. So we had mango, coconut and chickpea curry. At lunchtime, I 'loved our leftovers' as they say. There was a tea cup of Thai curry in the fridge, along with a...
Lots of progress today. The oven was disconnected and moved out of the way. The new oven housing was put in place, the oven fitted, and connected. The microwave is in the housing above. Eventually, I will replace that with a flat bed combi oven that fits the space...
I’m afraid I can’t tell you how to make this delectable pudding, called Our Currant Tart. Three friends and I have taken to trying different restaurants, and this week, we were on a mission to go somewhere that did lovely vegetarian food and we went to Terre a Terre...
Having this for lunch today, Toasted Nan and Dahl. I will be using dried chickpeas from my store, some of the coconut milk powder that I have masses of and I shall make a nan using the magic dough in the fridge. For the squeeze of lemon, I shall use a few drops of...
Yeurgh, woke up this morning with a burgeoning migraine, and after getting up really early, soon had to go back to bed having popped an Imigran. It's now almost 6pm and although almost all the pain has gone, every muscle aches. What a waste of a day Was...
I have now updated the 4th meal plan with current prices. A couple of things have come up while I was doing this and the other ones. mySupermarket totals are inaccurate! I had no idea, did you? I only noticed because I was creating the shopping list simultaneously...
This is where we are up to today. The picture above was taken this evening, showing the 300mm pullout unit in place, without the metal baskets. To go back a few steps, the corner, emptied out. The corner with some floor tiles down to go under the unit as it is a walk...
We have kitchen units!!! Yay!! They arrived this morning and after all the unloading, we had to sort out the boxes needed to fit the first one, the larder unit. I then spent the next half an hour trying to work out which was part A, part B, part C etc and stuck post...
I’m pretty tired right now. The kitchen units are due to arrive on Friday, so today, we started taking out the old ones. The capacious new larder unit will be fitted first, so the corner where that will be going was where we began. HOW much stuff was in those...
We went to the boot fair at Polegate this morning. First time I've been for ages. I was on a mission to score some more purple themed fabric for the quilt I am making, I had decided I needed some more variety. Within a few minutes, I had found 5 fat quarters and a 5...
Spotted these little fellas having a team bath this morning and took this picture of them through the window. Didn't dare move in case I scared them off. DP has been working hard over the last two days getting the old tiles and hardboard off the kitchen floor. Seems...
There are still a few teething problems with the changeover of the blog to a new host. The subscriber widget on the right is one of them, it seems to be refusing to sign people up for some reason. I'm also not sure that the new posts are being emailed to people...
