Hi

You could cook and can them - you can buy tinned small potatoes here in the UK. I imagine you would can them with salted water but have no experience. Then you just heat them through when you want to eat them or add to stews etc.

Hi boboff This is my experience of fostering. Five years ago my husband received a phone call asking if we could look after a little girl, the daughter of a couple we both knew.

Hi Wolfhazel

I cut out all added sugar - so no homemade cakes . I ate ryebread and oatcakes instead of bread and didn't use flour in cooking. Naturally occuring sugars seemed not no cause a problem.

The big ones were 3 and 5 when I met my husband, I decided that I wouldn't have more children for many sensible practical reasons but my heart didn't agree with my head! Now I look at my little ones ...

3 weeks ago I decided to ditch the junk food I was eating. Cakes, pastry, puddings etc - I don't eat fast food as it makes me feel horrible. My diet wasn't particually bad, cakes and puddings where homemade, oven chips not fried, homemade pizza and veggie burgers sometimes. So far I have lost 10lbs ...

Sounds yummy - nicest of all your recent juicing in my view

Mmmm yes they are nice. A lot of manufactured almondy products use them, battenberg cakes, macaroons etc. Cheaper but still good.

Brilliant - I am envious of your talent. I would like to make a pallet potting bench but have an enormous to do list.

Glad you had a good time, I was tempted myself but too many home commitments. I would love to hear about it.

Hi Anne

Nice to meet you
Where in England are you living?

They're looking good - ahead of mine which seemed to take forever to start growing. Next time I shall try using a propagator to help things along.
