Using Leftover Bread
April 20, 2012 By
Money matters, and today’s tough economic times mean that many of us are watching the pennies and looking for new and inventive ways to budget. And this is especially the case when it comes to
cooking. With money a factor for many of us, we are starting to see a return to the ‘old-fashioned’ but vital cooking skills that seemed to get lost for a while.
Along with this, there is a return to thinking about how to reduce waste and make our purchases stretch further. Spending several pounds on non-nutritious microwave meals or fast food just doesn’t seem like the sensible option for many people anymore.
So, how to cook up a storm in the kitchen without spending a small fortune? Well it’s easier than you might think.
If you have a loaf of Hovis Bread that is starting to go stale, but of course is not mouldy, you can use this to make tasty bread and butter pudding. Although white bread is generally used in bread and butter puddings, you can ring the changes and make your dish that little bit more nutritious by using best of both bread.
Another great use for your bread that needs using up is as the base for a tasty Moroccan dish called Chicken Rfissa Medhoussa. This chicken and lentil dish is truly yummy and is traditionally served on a bed of day old bread.
Day old bread or bread that needs to be used up can also be used to make homemade breadcrumbs, wonderful for the coating on fried calamari, fish and anything else you fancy really!
As well as there being plenty you can do with day old bread, you can use other items in the kitchen once they are past their best but not spoilt. For example, tomatoes that have begun to go slightly soft, but are not off or mouldy, are perfect for making your own soups, passatas or other tomato-based sauces.

The Lighter Side Of Life With Fosters
April 19, 2012 By
The latest series of ads from Fosters beer have struck a chord with the beer drinkers of Britain who have plenty of pressing issues that they want resolved.
Brad & Dan are two Aussies in a shack on a beach in Australia who spend their time answering the big questions in life posed by British boys who require a little guidance. The modern day agony aunts (or uncles) are more than happy to help the struggling Brits with their dilemmas.
Take, for instance, Craig from Leicester. He gives the boys a bell because he wants to know if it’s a good idea to get his girlfriend’s name tattooed on his body. His concern is that her name’s quite long and he won’t be able to fit it anywhere.
The boys want to know her name before they can help him with a decision. When they find out it’s Trudy Holloway, they want to know if she has a nickname. Fortunately she does, which allows Brad & Dan to suggest using that instead. They tell Craig to keep his girlfriend happy by tattooing the nickname and have “I love Peanut” instead of her full name.
And, in case Craig hadn’t considered the possibility of ever splitting up with Trudy, the boys spell it out for him: “That way if, heaven forbid, you and Trudy do split, you just have a tattoo expressing your love for a delicious small salted nut. And we all love peanuts!”
Of course, we all know that these two lager drinkers aren’t real, but the advice they’re more than happy to dish out as and when it’s required is pretty feet-on-the-ground stuff, that might actually be useful to someone watching out there. Nine times out of ten the advice Brad & Dan dispense is always a ‘good call’!
