I agree they are wonderful, shame no comparison though.

I must have been about 15 or 16 and old enough to look after myself in my parents absence. I remember watching Graham Kerr's cookery programme, the galloping gourmet as he was known, with his glass of wine and flamboyant style. My thoughts were if you can do it, I can do it better. So I...

Well, if you go to this page, you'll find your choice opens and you may well find what you are looking for. On my last experiment I tried some Darjeeling First Flush semi-green, but am not sure if I'd like to drink it on a daily basis. Have you tried any flavoured green teas? The Peppermint on a...

Back in 1991 we bought a whole range of Lagostina stainless steel pots and pans. They are excellent and going strong, regrettably this particular model range is discontinued and so I can not get matching additional pots any longer. Quite by chance, in an effort to get three exact quantity of...

I was just browsing the forum and came across your question. I have found this web site useful and have used them for a good few years. My breakfast tea is the High the blend, because we like Earl Grey but find it overpowering on its own, but this blend tones it down nicely. During the day we...

If you mentioned frugal to my wife, she'd strongly disagree saying I am the most wasteful person. I would say the same of her. We would both be right as I am as far as food is concerned, but less so elsewhere. She is the complete opposite. I suppose a bit like Jack Spratt and his good lady...

I am unfamiliar with prices in Canada, even though I have a cousin in Markham, and so am unable to comment much on that front. One way we have found of reducing costs is to cook everything from scratch at home. No pre prepared meals of any description for us. Mince meat, preferably extra lean...

A few hours ago backed a 9” round cake, substituting nutmeg and cardamom in place of vanilla as we've found pretty well all vanilla over the last few years to be near tasteless. Reminds me of the film Meet the Fockers, where a cake with a whole in the middle is referred to as a bunt. We've...

Add it to some rice when soaking for a pre boil and a touch more while it is steaming for a pulav dish. Also use it in a chicken casserole or roast.

While just the two of us we seem to average around £45.00 per week, when our daughter is back from university at term ends, the bill rises to around £65-70 per week. This does not include alcohol, but does include some household cleaning products and toiletry necessities.

Never read books, but read lots of magazines, computers, music, audio equipment, photography and whatever takes my interest at the time. I have never managed to become a book worm, unlike my mother and father to an extenet, my wife or our daughter who is destined for journalism on completing her...
