    Made a lovely tomato sauce in the slow cooker today

    Sounds nice and am a sucker for a slow-cooker recipe, what's in it?:)

    MNR - I've been here on and off, just masses of appts at the moment.. I was wondering where everyone else had disappeared too though!

    WP - your spring onions have grown quick, mine are thinner than chives still!! About to stop picking asparagus but spinach, rocket and herbs still being picked. Other seeds shooting up now though.

    Today I had a banana for breakfast then brie and crispbreads for lunch followed by a nectarine. Omelette and new potatoes for dinner I think, have only just got in and can't be bothered to cook really so need a quick meal. Not used anything from the freezer. No food delivery this week.

    The spring onions were planted last autumn, the ones I have sown this year are similar to yours.
    I can't wait for the rest to grow and ripen.

    ^ Ah! Thought you had super growing conditions!

    MNR - guess you've seen it already, as I see there's a thread up now, but the Waitrose free milk coupon is back :D

    Nothing out the freezer/fridge today - was out eating a free meal win :D

    Freezer (well, fridge-freezer section) nearly empty:) Taken a few bits out this week - bread, HM meals - and nothing gone in.

    Might make some chipotle sauce this afternoon; will let you know how I get on.

    Into freezer:
    4 portions of tofu (was on use by date)
    1 hm loaf of bread (as made 2)

    Out of freezer:
    1 portion of veg and bean pasta sauce I batch made a while back using up bits - tasted surprisingly good!

    Am a bit lost without my veg box delivery this week but means I will use up the hm meals from the freezer at last... nice, quick meal too as straight out of the freezer into the saucepan :D

    Hi all! Think I shall be joining you shortly. I've just joined the july grocery challenge and need to make cupboard and freezer inventories. I've just been to the shed freezer looking for a chicken- I'm sure I have one but couldn't find it so got out some HM chicken in tomato sauce for tomorrows tea. I have so much meat that I shouldn't need to buy any for ages if I just get organised and mealplan.
    July grocery- 24.40/220. NSD-1/3.
    Myself, DD, 2 cats, 35 weeks pregnant.
