  • Ugh I have a tiny freezer and it is completely stuffed full at the moment, but not with anything of much use!

    At the moment I know there's:

    1 pack of tortollini
    Half a pint of milk that was about to go off
    Endless bread crusts waiting to have enough to make bread pub
    A few bags of herbs
    Bag of frozen bilberries
    Homemade bilberry ice cream
    Half a loaf of bread
    12 bread buns
    Pack of filo pastry
    Some other crap lurcking at the back that I must dig out and use up!

    Hmmm - that is rubbish!

    It looks like everyone's supplies are going down slowly - it's looking good! :) Today I've used up a beef burger (yellow stickered) and a small portion of HM 'healthy' chilli con carne, which was less than successful and has been sitting in the freezer for months while I tried to find the enthusiasm to use it. :o

    I've also taken out a portion of BBQ-marinated pork slices for tomorrow night's dinner, and resisted the urge to look at the RTC shelf so nothing else has gone into the freezer. ;)
    Back after a very long break!
