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

    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
