I have never thought of purchasing a slow cooker but you have made me change my mind – anything that helps to make my life easier with the kids, house and job is a good thing.

The credit crunch is not good news but it’s making people think more about waste, which is a good thing. We’ve become a society that feeds our bins better than ourselves. Research shows that most households waste at least £400 a year by throwing out food – not just peelings but food that they haven’t had to time to eat before it’s gone off or because they’ve cooked too much. I think we can all learn how to make delicious food out of leftovers or food that may be slightly past its best. I’ve set up a http://www.flickr.com/groups/lovefood to share recipes and tips that help us waste less food. As well as being bad for our pockets, it’s bad news for the environment because food creates the greenhouse gas methane when it breaks down in landfills.

Shirley, that’s a really interesting point – my teenage son’s best friend stood in my kitchen and took pictures on his mobile phone of me making bread: he had never seen bread dough except in a pizza restaurant. When I got him to knead it and make his own plaited loaf he was so thrilled he took it to show his girlfriend. That’s really rather sad, isn’t it?

Great thoughts on nutrition. It is very difficult to educate people on how to maximize their money and time available to provide healthy food for themselves and their families. Courses or public education on real life budgeting and planning is missing from our modern culture. The truth is that nutritious food, no matter how simple, feeds the brain as well as the stomach and makes us healthier, happier, and better able to cope with the stresses life can throw at us.

Great recipe that I am looking forwadr to trying out. I am having a Pampered Chef cookery show this friday so I will be hoping to earn enough points as the hostess to get a crock pot or equivalent. I have quite a few friends coming over so it should be a good fun evening – eating, drinking and learning cookery tips!
