The last couple of months last year I was really sick with an undetermined stomach ailment that I could never really shake. During that time, I stayed home a lot and cooked all my meals. That ailment cleared up in the new year AND when I just went to the doctor, found out I lost 6 pounds. So I totally agree that the food prepared at home is so much better for the individual. I know I'm not going back to my old ways!simply mochahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256917248231097032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-11376179613864673922011-01-21T11:33:40.966+00:002011-01-21T11:33:40.966+00:00Anne marie, a girl after my own heart.

Although they are subject to the same health and safety/food hygiene regulations as a static eating establishment, a lot of them fall short on standards. Even as a lorry driver, I never used them in layby's, always had my own pack up. <br /><br />You've proved my point Kate, a bit of planning ahead means you can have cheap good wholesome food whilst you are out.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-68531274698276182232011-01-21T11:06:33.390+00:002011-01-21T11:06:33.390+00:00We go to classic car shows in the summer, and alon...We go to classic car shows in the summer, and along with the others on the club stand always take our own, wouldn't think of buying even a coffee normally. We take a little one ring burner, a bit more stable than a classic camping stove and can always offer someone a cuppa if they come and chat with us.<br /><br />I can't understand how people can buy that foul smelling stuff that comes out of the food vans.Campfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573797205145907726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-69474796429435276632011-01-20T20:12:43.892+00:002011-01-20T20:12:43.892+00:00Last time we went out for the day I decided to mak...Last time we went out for the day I decided to make my own sandwiches instead of buying from the garage when we filled up with fuel. Two slices of farmhouse type bread, some corned beef and ploughmans pickle - yummy and cost? well I guess 10p bread, the c/beef was 6 slices for 99p so thats about 30p and the pickle a couple of pence = less than 50p for 2 hearty butties that no one (except me lol) had coughed near!Kate Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325725955137255316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-59814885401713222011-01-20T20:10:01.408+00:002011-01-20T20:10:01.408+00:00Well put.
