But thank you , you have answered my question now too regarding the flour. I'll see if I can find the link & send it to you. The recipe just has 'flour' but doesnt specify what flour. Bear with me I'll try to find the link and send it.

I hate to waste, and had buttermilk, and cream cheese icing I needed to use up, and I found this when I googled. I have also made your salmon/rice pie dish several times before, these simple, easy to put together meals really suit me right now. I have a 3 year old, and 6 month old.

Moreover, an annual fee must also be paid to the Agency to keep them on the list, and if not paid, they cannot be produced."<br />From http://www.realseeds.co.uk/seedlaw.html. So the laws that have been passed for now might not be too bad, however I don't think it will be too long and they will have more control that gives them power over food everywhere, scary stuff if you ask me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-2887076877285091282013-10-11T20:52:01.556+10:002013-10-11T20:52:01.556+10:00The pea/bottle top idea is brilliant!

I have a toddler and we are always taking tiny amounts of frozen peas out of the freezer and your idea will make it much easier, thank you! <br /><br />The cake looks delicious too, I am a fan of any cake recipe with buttermilk as they seem to come out very moist. But rather than buy buttermilk, I just use normal milk and add a dash of vinegar and let it sit for a bit. Seems to work:)Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038017316392438908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-91804745722876218382013-10-11T17:30:44.276+10:002013-10-11T17:30:44.276+10:00I use a similar recipe too Rhonda but only use 2 e...I use a similar recipe too Rhonda but only use 2 eggs ,sometimes I make Banana Muffins instead of a cake. I only use half the amount of sugar too. And I saw this tip before regarding the peas and it's a great way of storing other vegies in the freezer for example Corn, mixed veg or Brussel Sprouts . I freeze a lot of berries and use this method too.

You don't hear that very often but it's so true; I do it naturally and have never actually thought about it - but following one's nose is definitely to be recommended. Great tip about freezing half too. Otherwise guilt sets in over not wasting and that's not a good thing for the waistline. And another great tip with the lidded pea bag - terrific tips all round today Rhonda.
