Vegetable curry is easy, Lidl sell veg at a good price and they are fresh.


In fact anything vegetarian is cheap: soup,curry,chilli.....

Have you tried making pasties or pies?


We had veg rice (Lidl 49p) fried with onion,kale and gammon for lunch....that was really nice and took five minutes.


We also buy a jar of miso paste and make ramen really quickly and easily, adding different things.

If you want veggie and don?t mind Indian food, I recommend this fine lady.

She doesn?t use garlic or onion (or possibly other ingredients) due to her particular branch of Hinduism, but you can fix that yourself, as I do.

Get a tin of tuna in oil,

Pour the oil only in a pan, add cloves cinnamon & chopped onion, let them brown

Add some tinned tomatoes or Passata, add a few cloves of chopped garlic

Add seasoning to your taste, eg Garam masala, turmeric, cumin powder, curry powder, bit of black pepper or whatever takes your fancy


Let it simmer & you add the tuna, sweet corn if you like, whatever....

Let it cook up for about 15/20 mins


SORTED! Good ole' tuna curry!


You may like to make abit of rice to go with that it even wraps or chappatis


Bon appetite 😀

If you want really cheap, the security in M&S is really lax- you can easily nick whatever you please from there. The only partial exception is stuff like steaks and pricey booze, which have security tags attached- although normally its just some old woman standing by the exit door (security guard at the entrance) so you can tell her to get lost if the alarm goes off and stroll on out.

This guy is very good:

Nat's What I Reckon,. Australian comedian who turned his hand to cooking during lockdown and it went sort of viral over in Australia but he's got a decent following worldwide now. Warning - some of his videos are very sweary, not really one to have on if your kids are helping in the kitchen! He's not exactly Jamie Oliver!


However, the stuff he makes is very good and (generally) pretty healthy. Stuff like chilli con carne (veggie versions also available), you can just make in bulk, split it into freezer bags and freeze until needed.

+1 to delia soup.


I find it is a good idea to bookmark recipes (and delete id rhey don't work). I sometimes search and cant find ir again.

Spoonfull of tahini added to a standard salad dressing makes a great vegan substitute for Ceasar dressing...


Leftover 'stale' bread for croutons... baked with olive oil and as much garlic as you can handle.


Iceberg lettuce...


Chicken leftovers or protein substitute

fried with a bit of garlic chillie etc...


Hey Presto! Ceasar salad!!!


What's not to like?

...Caesar rose to become one of the most powerful politicians in the Roman Republic through a string of military victories in the Gallic Wars, completed by 51 BC, which greatly extended Roman territory. During this time he both invaded Britain and built a bridge across the Rhine river. These achievements and the support of his veteran army threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey, who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC. With the Gallic Wars concluded, the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command and return to Rome. Leaving his command in Gaul would mean losing his immunity to criminal prosecution by his enemies; knowing this, Caesar openly defied the Senate's authority by crossing the Rubicon and marching towards Rome at the head of an army...


Happening now...


Great way to teach the kids over dinner...


Kind Regards

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
