Healthy Food from Scratch – without processed food Part 2

OMG – you’d be amazed, nay shocked, in what I’ve found lurking in one our kitchen cupboards, Christmas cake stuff, (we always make our own Christmas cake - which we need to be making around now actually), Christmas cake stuff, almonds, dried fruit, half packet of marzipan, all almost a year out of date! How can this have happened? No one knows! Anyway, after I wipe away the tears (I absolutely hate wasting anything – don’t you? I think it’s the war time influence of my mother and grandmother and the make do and mend and waste not want not philosophies coming through there), I say that that must be the last time that happens and allow ourselves to waste stuff and have to throw it away.

I think the process is getting a bit more involved than I at first thought it was going to be, anyway, we’re on the road to freedom (so to speak), more healthy food and hopefully more time to sort the other stuff I need to look at.

Until next time: I’m checking out the recipe books again before they go on Ebay or the car boot.
