saving energy

[boogieboogie]

I haven't used gas for over 3wk now (except to cook a quorn burger) and now fresh out of the shower my hair is wet, I'm just about to go and hairdry my hair with electric dryer but I notice it's windy outside.
Am I getting too obsessed with saving power (price of gas/electric) or am I being perfectly sensible and doing the common sense thing. Lavender infused fresh air dryer straight from from the Pennines.

It will do your hair good to let it dry naturally now and again, as well as save money :>)

Yes Ethel I am now fresh air blown dried, but I'm looking at the clouds gathering and thinking "Damn it, I've just used an electric shower and It's going to rain".. :-)

So what have you been eating!!

Salads!!!???!!!

[boogieboogie]

I do love salad and make great ones, with marinaded olives, rocket and many other lovely goodies. For warm food: Pitta bread goes in my toaster. Ready made fresh curry & microwave rice (no additives, really good and cheeper to buy than make it yourself. Yesterday I made a qourn mince casserole with carrots pots and onion etc (in the microwave).. which usually goes down great but didn't this time (put too much rosemary in) so I wont be bothering again. Love fresh soup too.

Just no fried things (which I didn't anyway) grilled things, pies or pizza.

You can also put your clean laundry under your mattress so you don't have to iron - a good way of saving electricty.

Boiled too much water in your kettle? Keep a large flask by the kettle and pour it into that. Use for washing up.

Making a casserole? Get a tea chest or other large box and fill it with hay. Bring the casserole to a rolling boil, pour into a suitable container, and bury in the hay overnight. By lunchtime, it will be cooked.

Driving on a long journey? Wrap your joint of beef and some large potatoes in lots of tin foil, with a bit of oil. Put in a safe place on the car engine. Secure. When you arrive, serve with salad. :)
