Same here, Gary. At least the watching the pennies part.

My siblings and myself will often reminisce about some of mum's recipes, particularly the ones where she was using ingredients that were cheap for whatever reason (maybe a glut, or just a special offer), or using up food that was getting ready to spoil (her bread and butter pudding to use up stale bread was to die for), or leftovers (chicken broth, bubble & squeak, and potato cakes from yesterday's uneaten boiled spuds, come to mind).

We sometimes kick ourselves that we never got the recipes for some of the dishes from her. I have tried making bread and butter pudding - I've even tried store purchased varieties. But, as Sinead O'Connor famously sang: Nothing Compares.  

My guess, for many of those things there wasn't a recipe as such just using what was at hand.

Hi 

I also saute mushrooms and onion and mix that in with the beef.

I use onion too.

Sounds delicious  My cottage pie came out really good, despite accidentally dumping a metric ton of pepper in it

We had breakfast for dinner. Potato-bacon frittata with cheddar-and-rosemary scones.

Val, if I've told you once, I must have told you a million times:

You had a metric ton of pepper in your pantry and just how large is the pan you were using?

G'day y'all. Woke to a bright clear day, well it was bright once the sun came up. First day in more than a week. The pup and I had a nice walk. I'm hoping to complete a few outdoor chores, weeding and such this morning.

Well, since I've been told not to exaggerate, I believe the more correct measurement would be a crap ton.

Thanks, Marty, but the poetry isn't my anthology piece. I wrote and submitted a story first... the third entry submitted in the anthology... I guess it will be posted some time in the future. I gave up that control and someone else decides when.

Well I didn't do it on purpose  I do like to go heavy on the black pepper, but I accidentally spilled it into the sauce   It was inedible until I added some cream to cool it down.  I didn't need to season anything else and it ended up tasting just fine.  Thank goodness!
