My question is, I would normally use up leftover chicken the day after my roast; I'm trying to extend it this week, do you think the chicken will be ok on Wed? Its been kept in a plastic tub in the fridge?
Thanks
ZC
If kept in the fridge, cooked meats will be alright for 3 days (sniff). you can slice and portion the cooked meats into the freezer and defrost the day before if you want to use it later0 -

Right, change of plan as I haven't been able to get to the shops since before new year (I had flu, and now I'm snowed in - well, iced in, anyway):Friday - mushroom and talleggio parcels (this recipe, but with talleggio rather than goat's cheese as that's what I've got), with buttered green cabbage

Sunday - aubergine parmigiana

Tuesday - Chinese-style pork kebabs (from the freezer, left over from a summer BBQ), with veg fried rice
Wednesday - [STRIKE]tuna and pesto pasta bake[/STRIKE] - aubergine and lentil korma, with naan bread if I can get to the shops to buy bread flour

I really hope the world defrosts soon - I've got enough food in the cupboards and freezer to last me for another week or so, but I'm running out of things to feed the cat so he doesn't start trying to satisfy his appetite with my fingers. :rolleyes:Back after a very long break!0 -

wed- HM onion bhaji's, chicken, butternut squash and mushroom korma, rice and HM chappattis
thurs - lamb chops with courgette, carrot, jacket pots
fri - filled veggie pasta with tom sauce + salad

I am trying to do this with the aim of cutting back on our meat consumption and eat more veggie / fish meals - but this has been hard this week as have not been out to shops due to weather and as we have a freezer full of our own organic lamb we are having lamb twice this week!
