You sound just the right sort of person to help those who "just can't cook so have to buy takeaways" to learn. We are quite happy to eat the same thing for two or three days running so long as the remainder is kept in the fridge and only what is required is reheated.

Keep on with your on-line cookery course - both practical and funny.

It seems such a long time since I was able to cook like this and we are enjoying living on leftovers again.

Not mean...I hate wasting food but I know others that will never eat leftovers.

It had to happen, Scrooge is on the stove!

Yesterday, I made a nut roast with some nuts that I had bought reduced and some stale bread, it certainly didn't break the bank and we had it with roast spuds and carrots.

I made a pale gingerbread as well, to eat as pudding this week and OH, you know forty odd years a chef, man and boy or whatever they are on his planet, made a vanilla blancmange. I told him to put some vanilla extract in because I think vanilla blancmange might just be cornflour these days. He put the vanilla extract in but I had not mentioned sugar so it was white vanilla gravy! What is he?

Anyway, the nut roast was alright so most of what was left is under mash for tonight as a sort of cottage pie.

The rest of what was left is mixed with some carrots,parsnips, swede and onion and it has made five pasties. The it of pastry left has become a little pie with a wrinkled old apple that was languishing in the fruit bowl with a few frozen cherries from the freezer.

Mean old bat is here again!
