I dug out my Shirley Goode book today, The Goode Kitchen - we need another Shirley as she had a series on the Beeb in the 1980s. She was a frugal cook who actually knew what it was like to have very little money. Her recipes and ideas are still relevant now.<br /><br />I adapted her lamb with lentils and made pork with lentils tonight - cheap, warming and yummy.<br /><br />I will be posting the recipe on my blog tomorrow.<br /><br />Jane (http://shoestringcottage.wordpress.com)<br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-70542115798014687602013-11-22T16:23:49.412+00:002013-11-22T16:23:49.412+00:00have you ever seen Nigel's bacon sandwiches ? ...have you ever seen Nigel's bacon sandwiches ?

They have to be looking for something new all the time and eend up just pratting around the kitchen.<br />Monastery farm is a good watch now. I shan't be missing it.

She's often on the One show with wonderful snippets of information too.<br />I have a draught excluder WIP, only partially filled at the moment. Others are in use, one contains mostly old tights ( don't wear them theses days but, did with my uniform dress until tunics and trouser days!)<br />Another use for odd or old socks - put on your hand and dust/polish with them.Sandies' Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022362234675324965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-50149788637469473812013-11-21T20:07:27.289+00:002013-11-21T20:07:27.289+00:00I enjoyed Monastery farm but like you thought the ...I enjoyed Monastery farm but like you thought the Adam and Nigel thing was a bit OTT in complicated expensiveness.<br />not keen on Nigel Slate much anyway - another straggly haired man like the Hairy bikers.Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-39805065063886986432013-11-21T19:34:29.166+00:002013-11-21T19:34:29.166+00:00great idea to put a loop on your draught excluder!...great idea to put a loop on your draught excluder!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.com
