Wow some of them sound awesome I do like an Hawaiian Pizza, its the seafood ones which should be banned from existence. For now though keeping it simple and just shallow frying some mushrooms in butter, I would normally add some garlic and black peeper but Tesco may as well be on the far side of the moon, it seems that far away. (Only fifteen minutes away really)
It's as easy to make a quart of gravy as a pint (metric equivalents are available) - so when I have some good meat juices I make double and stock up the freezer - then defrost for use with pies and (ahem) chips ...
