Great ideas thanks guys.

I have no idea what bok choy is

I hadn't even thought of stirfrys! Doh! Probably because I am so used to associating stirfry with rice.

I don't know if I'm going to have enough time to grow my own vegies though! I wish! (I'm doing postgraduate studies at university at the moment, so I'm overworked and underpaid ) I brought some herb seedlings for the garden though, they will dress up simple foods nicely I think, and I LOVE fresh herbs.

When I was a kid I grew up on a farm - we had steak coming out our ears, boy did I take it forgranted! I might look in to buying half a beast for the deepfreeze as you can get some great deals I've been told. The initial outlay is quite a lot, but the amount you save on a weekly basis would make up for it.
