New press release from Derbyshire County Council.
LOVE FOOD HATE WASTE OVER SUMMER
Every month UK households each throw away an average £50 worth of food that could have been eaten. Wasting food also harms the environment and contributes to climate change.
Food lovers are being urged to visit a website which features tasty tips for using leftover food when having get-togethers over the summer. Derbyshire County Council is urging families to make use of tasty food or leftovers already stocked in cupboards, fridges or freezers over the summer months. Councillor John Allsop, cabinet member for technology and recycling, said: “We’re urging people to check out our website full of great ideas on how to prepare meals using leftover food.”
Some of the recipes you’ll find include:
- A Quick Use-Up Pizza using leftover cheese and any favourite toppings you might have in the fridge.
- Olive Tapenade Toasts which turns leftover bread into something more interesting.
- Crispy Chicken Skewers which use a crispy coating made from leftover cheese and breadcrumbs made from slightly old bread.
For full recipes – and other great ideas for cutting down on food waste – go to the Love Food Hate Waste page of Derbyshire Council Council’s website. The recipes are in the “related documents” section near the bottom of the page under the title “recipes for special get-togethers”. For lots more recipes for all occasions check out the Love Food Hate Waste website.

Not really relevant to this subject ,not sure where to post it ?.Fact or Fiction?,Yet again the sceptics have cast doubt on the the latest reported sighting of the Loch Ness Monster despite convincing evidence from U.S experts confirming that this is definitly an animate object in the Loch. As a result I am organising an expedition up north with our very own J.F.S, who we all know could snap a gnat in a sandstorm,our aim is to put this ghost to rest once and for all.The cost for three nights B&B will be £250.00 per head , included will be numerous visits to malt whisky distilleries and the services of a local pub guide. The first evening will be spent at a local hostelry in order to interview experts on the “Nessie” legends,followed by an all night vigil on the Loch itself with infra red cameras .the remainder of the visit will be allocated to leisure time.Please book early to avoid disappointment , Cheers.

Thats enough of D.C.C I’m sure everyone got the message. If it appeared to you that time had stood still during the Olympic frenzy and nothing else of any consequence had occured in the world you’d be wrong.’Curiosity’ a two and a half billion dollar miracle of space exploration and technological achievement has safely landed on Mars’ The Red Planet ‘after travelling three hundred & fifty million miles through space.This roving lab is capable of negotiating the roughest of terrains to obtain soil samples for analysis and transmit the data back to earth , also operating a laser beam capable of blasting rocks in order to gain core samples. Scientists are hopeful that the evidence gathered may confirm the existence of microbiological life forms at one time and as to whether or not human life could be sustained on the planet. Hold it!, breaking news ,we are receiving photographs of a strange cat like creature cautiously approaching the buggy .These phenomenal images are the first recorded of any alien life form in history ,the creature is getting nearer as the buggy moves in for a close up .Oh no , I don’t believe it the creature has been crushed under the buggy’s caterpillar tracks, Curiosity has killed the cat.
