    Some people put milk in their freezer so i suppose that counts.

    essentials for us are bread, HM chicken stock or chicken carcasses ready to make into stock, some meat, pre-soaked and cooked bags of chickpeas and HM fish cakes (my daughter loves them so I like to have a bag of them so she can have one every week)

    I thought I had all the essentials but I can see I've been missing the vodka :rolleyes:

    Apart from that I have
    peas and sweetcorn -absolutely essential no-effort veg that all my kids like. I add them to all sorts of things from frozen.

    bread -homemade and pitta breads -sliced loaves are a good stand-by too.

    homemade stock -usually chicken but sometimes ham or game (lots of goose stock at the moment) -for making soup, stews/casseroles and risottos

    berries -blackberries and others acquired over the year. There's always something to make into a pudding at the weekend.

    Apart from that I have various things from my building blocks list.

    HTH:)

    HM stock (turkey and pheasant atm), breadcrumbs, fish, prawns, quorn pieces, HG fruit and veg (berries, peas, sweetcorn, damsons, plums, tomatoes, aubergine, beans), sliced bread for the children to make themselves a toastie, HM rolls for lunches, Ben and Jerry's (from when it was on special offer ;) ).

    I also have casseroles and pasta sauces so that I can have a HM meal for the family on the days that I'm at w***.

    I emptied the freezer before Christmas, but will soon be ordering beef and lamb boxes from a local farm. They come fresh, but I freeze them.

    If you think thats bad, you should see my fridge, which only ever contains, milk, wine, filter coffee, butter and a decomposing bag of salad.

    My mother despairs everytime she sticks her head in there.

    If am cooking, I tend to buy fresh, and just what I need for that meal otherwise, I end up wasting and throwing food out.
