She made scrumptious puddings though - lovely cakes, crumbles, steamed puds etc and we did grow our own veg and a lot of soft fruit too.....I get phases when I enjoy cooking, which come and go, but can cook fairly well when I put my mind to it
I am a bit like that with some things, I start well but get bored 
I baked a lot when I was younger but now I have weight issues I don't, too tempting, I don't have your willpower Di, if it was there I would eat it That makes sense about freezing the meat and gravy portions, I was all set to freeze the remaining half until M scoffed it
Oh and I only had one end slice off that bread!! 
I would have been awake all night if I'd eaten more of it Ginger sounds interesting, the recipe would be great thanks - I love Mary, her recipes seem so simple and 'do-able' and I remember well watching her cake baking on telly all those years ago
