I managed to get some yellow-stickered meringues this week as well, so we are having it tomorrow as I have some left over cream to use up. At least the food is summery, even if the weather isn't!

I always had extra freezer space, until we went travelling. I do miss it, but we are generally living much more simply anyway so tend to buy what we need instead of bulk buying. However my tiny icebox is always full to capacity!AlisonB43https://www.blogger.com/profile/08351165562595634549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-6902654411580864792013-05-23T20:42:26.402+01:002013-05-23T20:42:26.402+01:00Oh I do miss puddings sometimes, although to be ho...Oh I do miss puddings sometimes, although to be honest I had some 'value' custard powder passed it's sell by date, and have been making this up to eat with my daily cooked fruit at lunchtime - it has been so cold this week. I even made an impromptu batch of soup. When is your next car boot sale - are you making goodies to sell again?? That would add to your tin.AlisonB43https://www.blogger.com/profile/08351165562595634549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-5635131675817368112013-05-23T19:58:14.137+01:002013-05-23T19:58:14.137+01:00I love Eton Mess too!

I know I could save money on grocery if I had one, and I' fed up missing out on yellow stickered items because I don't have any room in our fridge freezer :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-71991576461270517872013-05-23T14:34:40.630+01:002013-05-23T14:34:40.630+01:00Mmmmmm....Eton Mess indeed!

For £2 I have got enough meringues for 8 or more desserts so I thought pretty good value.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-74261043719192539532013-05-23T13:08:41.028+01:002013-05-23T13:08:41.028+01:00Hi Sue
