and it works out cheaper than buying a whole onion/cougette, etc and either eating the same things for a week or throwing them away

it really does not work out cheaper, trust me

although if you can eat a single courgette spread over an entire week
maybe it does.

I really love cooking now.
I'm happiest because I've gotten to the stage where I can chop things up and stick them in th pan and add little bits and bobs without a recipe and it tastes delicious.

you might be lucky

mind you, it's beautiful to look at, and to sledge in. for driving and walking in - it's grey, slushy, brown, cold, wet, makes everything late, causes car crashes, ruins your social life..........
