I must admit that every time I look at this forum (probably every 2-3 days) there is something I read that will create a craving that I just have to give in to.

For example I have just read that post about why sausages made it onto a fry up and not burgers and now I just HAVE to have sausages for my tea. They are defrosting as i type!

This is a common occurrence in this house. I read something on here and then we'll be having it in the next day or two.

It's no bad thing. I love food and love reading about it!

:)

    Yes, quite a few times. For example, I hadn't liked the idea of butternut squash after having it a few times in restaurants or ready food, but I was convinced on here to try it roasted and it is gorgeous!

    Hi Kimi!:)

    I'm fine - been in Turkey of late - god the veg that's so cheap!:o:(

    My depression lifted for a while as I took interest in local/seasonal produce & had a version of lidl a few apartments away - the girl was lovely - well all the staff were & endured my Turkish.:)

    Then I arrive and have to trust in Lidl ( which are good IMO) if you use broccoli early as it tends to 'yellow' within hours.:confused::(

    Glad to hear you're feeling (felt) better (hope it's the latter).

    Must go to Lidl - there's a big advertising campaign on for them in the UK now and I've only ever been once, I think!
