Thanks very much for your help.. I must admit that as it is very sweet I had wondered about that.

I am on a very restricted diet and therefore every calorie counts so having discovered a really delicious cordial called Bottlegreen which has no additives I was totally delighted.. Unfortunately the details for nutritional recording says..(Quote) "100ml (1 part cordial to 10 parts water)" which...

Thanks for letting me know about that..I should really dump the lot in that case. Fact is I've not been at all well over the last year or more so I haven't been able to do much cooking at all and even though things have improved slightly with my health I cannot stand for very long. Thanks for...

Thanks for your reply Katie but like I said I've tried and tried AND tried! There's only so many times one can keep hoping for better results. Think I'll stick to my knitting and sewing and not have any more aggravation from the aroma whirling around and then the disappointment! :smile:

I use a recipe that my daughter gave me which is very simple and uses pork sausage meat and minced beef (ground beef I think you call it) in 1/2 and 1/2 measures with added bread crumbs, onion etc. 10 Ingredients 500g Beef Steak Mince 500g Pork Sausage Meat 20 g Onions 2 Eggs 70g...

Your bread looks great Lucky.. and I'm green with envy! :biggrin: I was taught to make bread at school many moons ago and I remember the wonderful smell of proving dough.. but in the last 20yrs or so I have tried all sorts of ways to make some without success. I've now given up totally...

My energy provider sends me a letter to say they are doubling my monthly payments because my account now stands at £195 in the red..They didn't bother to contact me when one year it amounted to my account being £350 in CREDIT! :ohmy: I phoned them and they asked if I could pay the £195 off...

They certainly look very yummy Medtran I did intend to make something with the bread flour I have but not bread..which I have failed miserably to be able to do! BBC Food - Recipes - Paul Hollywood's scones Hope these turn out okay.. :yum:

I don't use any margarine at all these days and much prefer butter despite the cholesterol problem. IMO there's a risk with everything we eat in one way and another so moderation in all things! (Do wish I could remember that when I get a chocolate urge.. :wacko:)

Made for friends

I wanted to make my own bread and many moons ago I bought various bread flours and also tried different yeasts and never ever managed to turn out a decent loaf. I also bought a bread machine thinking that would be the answer to my problem but still couldn't get an edible loaf. I have since sold...

It's Tescos Easy Cook LONG Grain Rice..

Can I make a rice pudding with this? It's the Easy Cook type. Your help would be appreciated.. :sad:

I have made two lasagnes since my posting both of which were rather dismal! :huh: The first one I put the white sauce into the beef mix which meant there was a good layer on each of the pasta sheets .. not that there was anything terribly wrong with that but unfortunately, not being a well...

The answer to that question GG was in Katie's post.. it came out all mushy.. obviously because I hadn't dried the sheets off properly it seems. I am aware of the nutritional ingredients as I log all my food because I count calories etc. in order to try to lose some more weight. Thanks for...

I've never managed to make a decent beef lasagne before in fact they've turned out really awful. This time I am going to use a bottle of ready made sauce instead of making my own. However, one thing I'm curious to know.. should I put the pasta sheets into boiling water for a few minutes before...

Decided it was a good idea to try to get back into doing more interesting cooking as I continually do the plain stuff which is very monotonous especially as I am trying to keep to a low carb diet. I used to be a very good cook but this last ten years or so I seem to have lost the knack.. :sad...

Any suggestions as to a very low carb idea to use up some steamed cod please? (Hope this is in the right place.. :rolleyes: )
