I might just give them a try.<br /><br />Ken: Yes, Thomases, that's right and they were cheaper. The cats get enough off me with them snaffling my prawns! lol<br /><br />That's shame Dean. Glad it whet your appetite though.<br /><br />Cheryl: tofu or edemame or other beans? they sound good options as does being frugal and seeing if I can live without so much food expenditure. Maybe I'll see what's in the cupboards and freezer and live on that for now.<br /><br />GailsMan: Bread and Jam for you then. Maybe just the bread as jam can be messy. lolPhil Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481531408247859880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576959142506128840.post-56999542141789209252010-04-25T00:01:51.439+01:002010-04-25T00:01:51.439+01:00I don't think I could eat anything that was th...I don't think I could eat anything that was that messy to prepare.
