It is noticable on our street that some households generate a lot more waste than others. We are in the low to middle end of things. I know we could do better but sometimes it feels like an achievement with my mob to just get them to put stuff in the correct bin. And if you have never thought about ...

I've done a lot of research into frying, poaching (of eggs), and making farls, American pancakes and chapatis. I don't use non - stick pans, because even good ones don't last very long apparently and are not cheap. I followed the suggestion of making chapatis, and I had a good result, although the ...

I am much the same with fabric. Some charity shops will accept bags of "rags" as they still get a pittance for them. I reuse what I can and notice I am veering toward buying natural materials as these are easier to deal with at the end of their life. Worst case I can compost them. The recy...

As I was putting the bins out first thing this morning I found myself wondering how many of you have a waste management plan? I know that rubbish collection in rural areas is iffy at the best of times.ut But us city types rely on it. My very basic plan is: Wash all cans, glass, plastic & and pla...

We are not able to use the Dove's as it contains maize - aka corn. This has forced us to learn about a lot of other flours but is a right pain. If we ever ended up with WW2 style "you get what we have available" type rations we would be well stuck. Avoiding both is really hard as so often ...

I'm very grateful to yourself and all who have been so generous in providing information. I've spent a lot of time on Youtube on topics such as the pros and cons of non - stick saucepans, how to use a plain stainless steel saucepan for cooking foods that stick, poaching eggs, and so on. Sticking my...

If using milk instead of buttermilk I would add some lemon juice. Buttermilk is acid which reacts with the bicarb to get the farl to rise. If using milkyou will need to add the acid seperately.

Chappatis do not need a non-stick pan. On one memorable occasion we went camping with friends who were due to arrive later. They were surprised to be fed curry, rice and chappattis all cooked over an open fire by Mr Gillybee. The chapattis were cooked on an upside down wok.

My last frying pan came from someone on ebay selling "box opened" stock. Which let me get an expensive pan for the price of a basic one. You may be able to find one the same way to let you practice without expending too much cash. Alternatively, you could try using more fat with a standard...

I do like the cured and dried meats as a fridge free meat option. My family are not impressed with the standard of canned meat available so bacons and chorizos are a better choice for us. Some of the supermarkets sell shelf stable sausage products but they are expensive. As you have access to a meat...
