I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Edwardia

puddleglum - welcome and ooh I lurve kohlrabi, it looks like an alien vegetable

Just having fried eggs and mushrooms for dinner cos looking at recipes all afternoon kinda put me off eating !

NSD for me and OH too tired to go to Lidl to get the coconut milk. I don't think there are many low carbers around here so should be OK to get them @ weekend.

Did find a useful recipe.. if I can find cheap shelled roasted unsalted peanuts, 250g and 1 tbsp of oil in the food processor = peanut butter

Florenceem you just reminded me I've got to rummage in my freezer and update freezer book so I know what's lurking in there.

We're becoming quite a cult here...I think we should have a freezer-emptying party to celebrate our success, everyone can bring a dish but the rules are that it MUST have come from your freezer and have been there for at least 6 months .

Just back from work, skipped my plans for the theatre this eve as my feet are killing me and I need comfort atm, not to be squashed up in seats designed for midgets. I am very please to announce I have bought myself a new toy - a pasta maker from Robert Dyas for just £14.99 (reduced by £5), a detour well worth making even though my feet aren't thanking me. I have now revised my plans, I won't go to the supermarket until after the next BH (which happens to be the day my cc month ends) and put my next big shop on May's cc bill. This means that if it rains on the next BH weekend I shall defrost my freezer, a job I dislike doing but even I admit that the less food in it, the easier it will be. If I'm forced to defrost it, I may even be able to survive on freezer food for another week or two after that!

Then I'm going to make loads of fresh vegan spicy butternut squash ravioli, spinach and ricotta tortelloni, mushroom agnolotti, and fill my freezer up again! Just found this on Wiki, the mind boggles....

Still no sign of Kirri?

Today I have made super healthy fruit and nut bars using some well past it pears which have been quietly [STRIKE]rotting[/STRIKE]ripening in the fruitbowl. Everyone has had one with lunch and pronounced them delicious so probably best not to tell them what went in!

You can tell us what went in it. Recipe plse?

**That's me excluded then, I've only had the chest freezer since December. I could bring some of my mother's four year old PYO strawberries though..

**My mother brought me back one from Italy and it sat in the under sink cupboard with the rest of the unused gadgets she bought me, until we came up with the idea of offloading them on bro's fiancee

No, it's worrying, hope she's OK

Messages have to be at least 10 characters, not including quotes.

Putting my name at the bottom adds 6 characters, so I could just post a few ?????'s

I noticed Krave's attempt to muscle in on the Easter market! It looks dangerously addictive, if I dared buy it I'm sure I wouldn't want to eat anything else .

Evening, thanks for the good wishes! I actually had a far worse experience than even I expected which is saying something!!! Procedure went ok though they didn't solve the problem and my body didn't react very well to any of it and at the moment I am still suffering, in agony, quite dozy from the meds and can barely do a thing for myself!

I'm on the anti freezer emptying challenge at the moment... Now I can keep food down it's just toast and fruit though I have barely any appetite either! No idea yet when I will even be able to get clothes on let alone walk to a shop!!

Will catch up on all the posts when my head is clearer

Kirri - lovely to see you back posting again. Hope you'll be feeling more comfy soon and they can get you sorted.
