Re: Uses for Flour.

Agreed about the prepper doctrine of storing what I eat. This is what makes food storage challenging, along with the need to use and eat foods with a long shelf life. At least there's no "tasting panel"! I also use TVP, dried lentils and other pulses and beans. I find chickpeas take too l...

Re: Uses for Flour.

Thanks for the advice. A quick check with eBay gives 1Kg whole egg powder at between £24 and £35 and white only at about £37. Regarding protein, my existing long - term source is tinned sardines (last for years); I don't eat meat. I need to figure out how I'm going to integrate dried eggs (and poss...

Re: Uses for Flour.

Flour is an essential prep, but I only use about 1.5Kg per year. Very occasionally I run out of bread and make a sort of bread out of self - raising flour, vegetable oil and water. I make the dough and grill both sides. It ends up like flattish cakes, and if a generous amount of mixed fruit, as use...

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener

I am not convinced that is blight. I can't seen anything "fungal fluffy growth" and I have always seen at least a little of that with a bad/collapsed plant. All about blight here with pics. https://horticulture.co.uk/potatoes/blight/ While this is frost damage https://www.allotments4all.c...

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener
