No but it is Summer Pudding weather!
Actually I found rhubarb and did it with that and it is delicious stirred through. Tasted like a lovely fruit fool.

last night I had a peppered beefburger which I had forgotten about and two cheese and leek veggie sausages that I had got 'whoopsied' ages ago I had them with mash and green beens all froom my freezer. I know I have a big ham hock in there so I might dig that out today and SC overnight It will give me quite a bit of stock towards my soups which I want to make .
and and oh oh Cream! just found some lurking in freezer,out it comes and into me.
found some chopped onions and an unidentified vacum pac in the freezer, looked like chicken so thought great will make some pasta (still got 7 packs left from approved foods), along with one of the billion jars of sauce that have overtaken my cupboards and basement stairs.
chicken turned out to be rhubarb..... not quite so nice with salsa sauce as you can imagine... niece refused point blank to entertain the thought of eating it so I quickly defrosted one of the packs of bacon which i don't even remember buying or why and used that instead. sent my niece out to the shops to get a couple of apples and made a rhubarb and apple crumble - no custard so made a milky cream sauce with a couple of real berries in jars (again from approved food) and had a rather surprisingly lush dessert
tonight i shall attempt the chicken again!
I regularly make a sugar free jelly and add in fruit. I just made a raspberry jelly to put my raspberries in.
If you buy soft fruit and blueberries in the reduced, putting them in jelly prolongs the life of the fruit.

Forgive me, as I know how annoying this can be,but it really made me chuckle,it reminded me of the time I took my Son what I thought was Beef Curry and turned out to be faggots .
