  • Steak sarnie for late lunch, didn't wake up until 2:30pm I went to bed this am.


    Have also taken out lamb mince, all ingredients mentioned from freezer, rice and veg to be added.

    Still contemplating flows mini pies, I have a turkey leg in freezer, so I'm thinking of Turkey and veg with gravy mini pies, using any leftover turkey in a pasta.

    That will be the last of the whole Turkey I won at Easter, it alsoeans that I Will have a free freezer drawer to start stocking up on homemade meals.

    Hope you are feeling better now. I noticed you had gone a bit quiet these last few days

    Thank you :) I got a bit lazy cooking, posting, eating when ill..

    Back to normal - made a garlic courgette risotto tonight.
    Cooked up extra courgettes and will stick in freezer and try them in a risotto from frozen though not sure how mushy they will be.

    Had courgette fritters for lunch, out the freezer - they heat up quite well straight from frozen.
  • Kirri, I just couldn't sleep, lol I wish it was more!

    I popped to Mr t at the right time, got 8 wholemeal buns for 20p, in date until 8th, a reduced sausage roll had for late lunch, a pack of yogurts and chocolate bar for free and a big tin of pineapple, paid 90p after coupons, even got coleslaw for free.

    Dinner will be a stew that I took from the freezer along with a garlic flat bread from the freezer, along with the coleslaw, will have the remaining mince tomorrow.

    ^ Ah lol thought you had something more to tell us :p


    Day of using up stuff today:

    Breakfast - usual yoghurt & muesli with OJ

    Lunch - tofu vegan sausages as pack had been opened and needed to be used, with hm onion marmalade and a (free) muffin from the freezer

    Mid pm snack - last bit of the hm frozen lemon cheesecake (love this straight from the freezer!)

    Dinner - had mozzarella to use up (was supposed to be for polpette but my egg delivery was messed up..) so making a pizza base instead, in the breadmaker at the moment - got the cooked garlic courgettes out the freezer from last night, with some of the frozen hm basil pesto (instead of tomato puree) and will add HG green pepper/chilli/tomato. Will save some of the pizza for lunch tomorrow.
  • Out - diced venison, sweetcorn cobs, rhubarb
    In - zero and I am pleased to report that I have made a little dent in the quantity of frozen pasta since feeding the guest last week. :j

    Cupboards - purple potatoes and stuff to make the crumble for the rhubarb.
    'If you are not in the 'arena' also getting your a55 kicked then, I'm not interested in your feedback.' Thank you.

    Right! Back from holiday and after my food shop is delivered tonight, my hope is to not shop again until payday!

    I had bought food in for my sister to eat as she was cat sitting, but she took the kitten back to hers so we've got even more food than I had bargained for.

    Tonight we're using some potatoes and beans for jacket potato dinner.
