Villages Electricity went off at 5.30pm last night and apparantly is still off.............I have a freezer full of food that is slowly being ruined not to mention my hair now resembles Freddie Boswell's :mad:

You can freeze potatoes if you've either cooked them first or par boiled/blanched them. Mash always looks really watery when you defrost it but give it a good stir as you heat it and it'll be fine. I par boil big bags of potatoes and then bung a handfull in to hot oil for roasties


IA - lucky you with the snow - we're not set to get anymore now :rolleyes:

Thanks pooky, i will cook some up later then saves me throwing them away.

Nope, just a bunch of domestic goddess types in DFW!!

On the subject of saving things in the freezer... whenever i chop onions i always end up freezing half of it, very handy for making mince and other such things.. never done it with peppers though... and peppers have been known to go off in our house so useful to know!

In true frugal style-eee - I do often snaffle some extra pieces of pepperoni off pizzas before cooking and store away so that i can add to plain cheese pizzas if bought by mistake or on BOGOF's.... i figure noone knows how much pepperoni was on them to start with, and who's gonna notice a few bit missing! lol!!!!

looks like it's Thursday into Friday for here........but I'm guessing not as bad as we've had already. It was mad seeing it still snowing last night!

To be honest its mostly trial and error... If a veg looks close to binnable I've whacked it in the freezer and then taken pot luck when I want to use it...

The Old style board is the place to go for a definite answer. I've frozen mash before and potatoes IN something IYSWIM but not sure if you could freeze them raw - I think you'd at least have to parboil them...

Edit - ooops Pooky beat me to it. Seems I was on the right track though |:p
