don't tell em you've made extra. hide it.

This is EXACTLY what i had to do .... i hide EVERYTHING ... im sure my husband must thing im a nut but after years and years of making big batches of things and NONE of them making it anywhere but my husbands ever expanding belly, i've learn't to hide it.

Seriously i make it up, and while im dishing it up i put it in containers and hide them while they cool enough to freeze because if i leave them out on the counter top my husband conciders it fair game for seconds and thirds :eek:

ill hide them anywhere veg draw, microwave, tins cuboard i even hide a rhubarb crumble in the washing machine once :rotfl: HIDE THEM ITS THE ONLY WAY!!!!!!!

If you get really desperate, take the side off the bath & hide things there.

thanks everyone some great tips and a good laugh as well now I know why my nan used to do her baking and cooking six o clock in the morning can't see me doing that though so i'll just have to find a few good hiding places

Hi EstherH well the way I do it is to boil some potatoes, onion, and carrots together in a saucepan drain and add a tin of corned beef diced, season with pepper, mash and leave to cool
then make up some shortcrust pastry and line a pie tin with half then fill with the corned beef mixture top the pie with the rest of the pastry and brush with egg then bake in the oven. Sometimes instead of making the large pies I make little mini ones in small patty tins my sons love them like this they are handyto put in lunch boxes too.

Just a thought I also make a corned beef stew all you need to do is to boil up some potatoes, carrots, swede, parsnips, onion and a little salt together in a large saucepan boil until all the veg is tender don't drain dice the corned beef add this to the saucepan along with two oxo's and some dried parsley season with pepper and leave it to simmer for a little while you will find the longer its left the nicer it is as it thickens up and we often find its better the next day but its perfect for the cold weather we're having now

Of course, the other thing to do is pinch things off your family when they've baked things - it's only fair!

Seriously, you do sound a very generous person, and what goes around will come around

I'm learning so many new ideas and terms thriftlady, from pooping bananas out of their skins to weird recipe labelling. :eek: :rotfl:

Actually my OH has a morbid dread of butter - apparently one tiny scraping is sufficient to have you keeling over with a heart attack :mad: so I just tell him that things have butter in them and he won't touch them.
