Did the Sunday lurk in Tesco - has been a while since I last went on a Sunday, and there was a lot less on YS than I seem to remember... Still, if you're prepared to be open-minded and creative, there were some good buys to be had. Most of the YS stuff (especially the chilled stuff / meat) went early doors when there was hardly anything knocked off it. What came out in final reductions was mainly ready meals and loads of soft white rolls from the bakery, plus a respectable - if limited - amount of fruit and veg.

Managed to snag three packs of hot smoked salmon fillets, a pack of cod fillets, a piece of pork loin, ham, prawns, coleslaw, half a kilo of spinach, tomatoes, a tray of mediterranean veggies, a savoy cabbage, parsnips, baking potatoes, raspberries, kiwi fruit, figs, rhubarb, watermelon, pears, a tiger baguette, two wholemeal loaves, croissants and a pack with four chocolate eclairs.

With what I still have in the fridge, plus adding the YS shopette I did in the Co-op midweek, I've got some super culinary options coming up... Watch this space!!! :hungry:
 
Make your own bread, TS, and you'll never mention Wharburtons again, I promise.

Lime marmalade is great. All marmalade is great. But if you want the king of marmalades, then kumquat marmalade is what you need. We had a kumquat bush when we lived in Australia, and the only thing to do with the abundant fruit was make marmalade. If you ever get the chance, try it.

Homemade sourdough or pain rustique with salted butter and mum's tangerine marmalade and now you're talking... :hungry:

Viking funeral?

Must have been at least 18 years.

Lets not be so hasty.

It's from the days when electrical appliances were made to be repaired. Two flat headed screws to have it disembowelled in seconds. The capacitor on the motor has exploded so I need to try and source a new one. I have part number but can't read the Czech pages which come up if I google it!
I now know it was made in Prague in 1981....

If you promise never to mention chocolate spread or peanut butter ever again I'll see if I can get the-powers-that-be to remove this sanction.

As long as it doesn't stop me from eating them... :blush:

That's the role of your taste buds, not the-powers-that-be.
