I had a very pasta-y day yesterday as i used up a spoonful of leftover pasta bake for lunch with a couple of quorn sausages and then made pasta for tea with the last of a packet of veggie chorizo, some purple sprouting broccoli, spinach and the remains of a jar of chilli pesto. Maybe I'll have something different today. :-)0

Added to my coffee mountain yesterday. I like the Douwe Egberts instant for everyday and it was on offer for £4 a big jar instead of £5.95. I bought five!
I need to do a freezer audit as we have been away for almost a fortnight, leaving DS house and cat sitting and he records nothing. Lots of biscuit crumbs though...Save £12k in 2024 - #2 target is £5000 only £798.34 so far

Mea culpa, mea culpa. In Ulverston diving for the weekend. They have the most amazing butcher. I couldn't resist. New season leg of lamb, Gloucester old spot sausages, free range chicken. It's the sort of place they can pretty much tell you the name of the animal it came from.
£45 later (I was astounded at the price actually), I am refilling the freezer.
I also put in a relatively small Musclefood order to arrive next week. I was panicking at my lack of chicken breasts.Goals - Weight loss 6/26lb at 22nd Jan 18Mmmm. 26lb at 1/7/18. Oops:o0 -

Last night we used up a butternut squash and mushroom pie that had been in the freezer since Xmas and it was one of those that looked a lot better on the box than it tasted. Too much pastry and not enough filling for my liking. Still, more space in the freezer is good!
Strawberry vodka sounds good. We made rasberry gin a few years back and it was excellent. Even better was the one we made with rasberry and blueberry together. Yum, yum, yum!0 -
Turned my 2 Easter eggs into chocolate brownies, which used up a good amount of cocoa powder, golden syrup, honey and all my caster sugar.
