    if you are using chicken OxO cubes - they say dissolve one cube in 190ml of water. I dont think I want to comment on that - apart from saying that when I was little (40 odd years ago) my mum used ONE cube to about a half pint of water!

    I know this a wee bit OT but is there not an OS diet-type thread somewhere or am I imagining it? Or a diet thread anywhere on the forum? I cant find it :mad:

    Thanku squeaks!
  • Just a quick Q, it might be on here already, but I couldn't find it...

    I have a lot of left over chicken after doing a roast on Sunday... I have used a lot of it on dinner yesterday (soup), today (risotto), and will tomorrow (pasta bake), but with the extra what can I make with it that I can freeze? I don't really want to do Thursday with it as well as I don't like to keep cold meat in the fridge more than 3 days (or do you think it would be ok?).

    Is it too late to freeze it to re-heat later? I'd rather not bin it, but if I've left it too long I might have to.

    Hiya :)

    Personally I limit chicken to three days in the fridge and after that I either freeze it in portions, or make something with remains and then freeze that something.

    You'll find plenty of suggestions in this thread: How long does cooked chicken keep for?

    And a whole bunch more ideas here: Rubber Chicken

    There are a fair number of chicken ideas that can used from browsing: Cooking for the Freezer.. and Meal building blocks for the freezer

    There's no real need to make "things" straight away - you can pick the carcass and freeze your pickings in suitable portions and make up any meals you fancy at the time you decide that you want a "chicken something". That gives you more flexibility in the future.

    Again with the carcass - make chicken stock, rather than soup, and freeze it. That way you have stock available for anything you might like to make which, by definition, includes soup :)

    HTH :)

    Is there a list anywhere of all the different challenges? - I keep seeing them in people's signatures and think 'that looks interesting, I'll find out a bit more about that' and then can't actually find the thread?

    Thanks

    :) Peel and dice some tatties and chuck in, cook down til tatties soft, add some milk and whizz with blender. Salt and pepper. Makes it smoother and creamier and should neutralise the cabbagey-ness a touch. HTH.
