Okay, back from the weekend and all is good.
I'll try Lux, but I can't tell you how much it costs me to make something as I use the pantry method. I just keep a well stocked pantry and only buy (well not right now) when something from the pantry is getting low or a great value comes along.
As far as what I've had of late...um still eating from the last cooking weekend mentioned above, but I also tried a new recipie
Taco Style Lentils and Rice
http://hillbillyhousewife.com/tacolentilsrice.htm
I had it with home made flour torillas
4 cups flour
1 to 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
Mix dry ingredients and then cut in shortening
Hot water from tap
Add hot water until a soft dough forms and it's almost sticky - about 1 1/2 cups I think...
Pull off balls and roll out on floured surface and cook on hot griddle.
So far so good as far as not buying anything...is there any recipie you would like?
