Hiya,
Tonight I was thinking of having cauli & broccoli cheese with either a ham joint or some salmon, and i will heat left overs back up on my night shift
Only thing is, im used to making cheese sauce with flour/butter/milk. Am i able to make it with just cream? Anyone got any recipes they can share? I dont have any "special" kinds of flours yet as im only in the first week & not been shopping?

I threw together some stuff tonight and came out with something totally incredibly good for tea!
Fried some mushrooms in oil, added some boursin and a little water and simmered it for a bit, took out the mushrooms so they would not overcook, chucked in a bag of watercress and wilted that down a bit, threw the mushrooms back in with my diced roast gammon and heated it through, added some cream to finish and some black pepper, bubbled it for a couple of minutes - absolutely yummy!

In case you get fed up with mayo and fancy a change here is a recipe for salad cream.
4 Hard Boiled Egg Yolks
4 tbsp Cream
1 tsp Prepared Mustard
¼ tsp White Pepper
Vinegar
Salt and Cayenne, to taste
Remove the egg shells, and pound the yolks in a mortar to a smooth paste.
Add the other ingredients, except the vinegar, stir well until thoroughly combined.
Pour in enough vinegar, a little at a time, to make it the consistency of cream.
The mixture will then be ready for use.
Average cost: 7d for this quantity.
Sufficient for a moderate-sized salad. Note: The whites of the eggs, cut into rings, will serve very well as a garnishing to the salad.
This is from Mrs Beeton, I love the 7d cost! I don't have a mortar but I'm sure I can mash the yolks with a spoon.

mainly just on its own, or on a bed of wilted spinach/kale
tbh, i never used to eat much rice anyway, just a spoonful as a token accompaniment, but was happier without it.
