Just a handy tip for cooking potatoes - bring pan to the boil, put a lid on and turn off heat. If you leave the pan where it is for an hour the potatoes will cook in their water 😀
Just love your videos love. Great content and interesting. Enjoyed the new house tour, can't wait to see you all moved in and back to doing regular videos. Thank you Marilyn xx
Sage plants at their best for the first three years. Try layering an attached stem with newish growth to start a new plant. Old ones get rather ungainly after time, but we have two ten year old plus that still produce flavorful leaves. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Any line yet for a new nest for you and Dad... hugs, Susan
I love batch cooking I live alone but make recipes for 4, I can usually get 5 portions out of it,one today one tomorrow and them the other 3 become freezer meals for days I don’t want to cook. I find this works for me and is usually a more economical way to cook. I make soup every few days which is usually my lunches. It also uses up all the trimmings and odd bits of veg and salad left in the fridge. I also use sad looking apples and oranges in soup along with carrots or parsnips both make a taste soup.
So much you can do with leftover mashed potato, but frankly I can just eat it from the fridge, sometimes just with my fingers! Interesting to see you making daisy balm, I sometimes watch the Azerbaijani village videos here, and they make herb tea with all sorts of things, once they made it just with daisies, though they called it camomile. Good to hear your dad's had a good week.🙂
Every time I move, and I've moved too much, I always get about halfway packed, then I look around and think, 'This is perfect. Now if I could just get rid of what I've packed and never see it again I'd be completely decluttered and my home would be easier to maintain.' Enjoy your move. Sell what you can. Resist neighbors who have perfect lunch containers, they are just clutter. I hope you can find a place that you can own. I'm retired and my two cents are that you really can't retire until your home is paid for. So I do hope that you find a nice, tidy little home.
Interesting that many people assume that almost everyone can own a house. I live in a social housing flat that is worth 920k (euro) because of the top A location here in Amsterdam. My rent is 670€ a month. I could never buy this flat not even on a normal/ average income. (I make 1800€ a month currently)
Hey Lizzy, good to see you! I know vertigo. Had an episode once and even went to the hospital by ambulance because it looked like a heart attack. Hope your vertigo leaves you alone! Regarding your strategy to eat your pantry food. Are you budgeting to refill the pantry once you are in your new home? Seems to me that it is quite a cost... I love sage! Fried in some oil .. they make good chips/crisps. Also great over pasta.
Ur son is so good at eating what ever you decide on the odd school dinner with his friends is justified but i agree the cost is ridiculous especially when you think of what u could make for the same amount but u just have to let some things go and claw back the cost in other ways. Px

Oooh! I like this!
Same with pasta! 👍🏻
Same with rice and veg
what size of chunks do you cut the tatties in?
I cut each potato in half if small and quarters if big 💕
