I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

ms_night_ryder

Kirri you will find loads in Brixton every other stall and shop prob 3-4 for £1

Cake in the oven, I'm not the best baker eeek, followed the instructions to the t, just need to make the lemon drizzle.

Chowder has been devoured, 1 portion left, I am regretting putting a portion in the freezer, the fine greens on top taste so good!

Afternoon all.

I must be bored as I've decided to spring clean the kitchen and have a move about. I'm at that point where it looks worse than when you started so I've left the area lol. Already done my bedroom. Will do the lounge tomorrow I think.

Still not sure about tea. Maybe I'll get some inspiration when I'm sorting out the food cupboards. Hmmmm. I've still got veggie and lentil stew left in the fridge but don't fancy it for a 3rd night in a row.

Granted I never had a problem with flavour lol but I think if people had to kill/gut/skin it there would be a lot less attraction in it for a wider range of people. I can still remember my dad bringing home a dead rabbit with fur when I was a kid but then I was the type of kid who picked out the tubes, gristle, black bits etc in any meat anyway!

Cornbread?? Does that use cornmeal?? Never tried making it but had it in America and it was nice.

Funnily enough I had a dream last night where I had to kill a big white goose by either bashing it's head or drowning it lol.... needless to say, I didn't do it lol. Guess veggie week is getting to me!

My dad used to bring home rabbits too. That was the one meat I didn't like.

Will try the cornbread recipe thanks, might make it a bit cheesy.

Postie just delivered a tin of coconut peanuts and a friendship bracelet from the Tropical Sun vending machine, anyone else get their items?

I think mine must have come yesterday as I've a card from the postie. Not happy as it's away from any route I walk and for some of the way there's no path. It better taste nice! I got the BBQ jerk sauce.

Florence and kirri - hope you're both feeling much better soon, and kirri hope the pets are too.

Jelly - I'm going to be on a forced no spend, if I don't stop spending soon lol.

2 packets of YS sausages out of the freezer, for Toad In The Hole and sausage sarnies and potato croquets (havent had them for years, had forgotten how nice they are) .

But into the freezer......carrots, onions, ice-cream, peas and 3 portions of LO Indian take-away (DH treated me last night).....

I think I am doing something wrong on the "using stuff up"
front!! :rotfl::o

Quark, Strangeness and Charm springs to mind seeing that ^ !

I've never tried the food Quark, can't say I've even noticed it in the supermarket. I've tried a few new foods in the past year for the first time but I don't actively try new foods much, thinking about it.

Checked Ocado, Waitrose and Sainsbury's for the plantain but none stock it.. (apart from some crisps).

Quark is used quite a lot on the slimming world diet, this cake is really yummy.

Fruit Roulade
1 Tub quark
4 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp sweetner
vanilla essence
fresh fruit

1.) Separate the eggs
2.) Add the yolk, half the quark, baking powder, sweetner and essence into a bowl, whisk together and set aside.
3.) Whisk egg white till stiff, whisk half into the mixture then fold the other half.
4.) Using a swiss roll tin spray with fry light (you can put greaseproof paper in first so the spray doesn't stick), pour the mixture and bake it at 180 for 15-20 minutes. Leave to cool.
5.) In a dish add the remaining quark, sweetner and essence and mix together.
6.) Remove the cake from the tin when cool, spread the quark evenly, add finely chopped fruit and roll the cake from one end - slice to serve.

Thanks for the recipe :j
I bought the Quark as I was looking for a creme fraiche/soft cheese-type ingredient, so thought I would give it a go:).

As for other new ingredients, at the weekend I also bought some pine kernels (never bought them before, couldn't believe the price:eek:), and some khoubz (Arabic flatbreads) again which I'd never bought before but the nice man in the ethnic supermarket told me all about them; oh, and the week before I'd bought some proper cinammon, to make the Morrisons Morrocan stew.

Tea is I-don't-know what-yet, but it'll definitely be out of the freezer, and veggie:T

Edwardia

Jelly Biactol - try dry roasting some of the pine nuts in a frying pan, they taste even better

Florenceem - hope you feel better soon xx

Lip_Stick - well done on the Spring Cleaning :A

fozziebeartoo well done on the weightloss :T

kirri I copied composition of Evian onto post in organic thread cos I figured maybe you could find a cheaper similar water who knows.. and pleased you liked Ocado veg box I said it was stuffed are you going to post on there abt it ?

hope you and piggies get better soon xx I lived in London for a bit and the water there is supposed to go through 7 humans before it gets to you :eek: probably way better than NYC where the river there is clinically dead IIRC.

Evening,
i had no notifications again!! thought you guys were quiet.

5 mile walk with mother and breakfast out was yum beans and poached egg on toast.

Zafiro.....hope you feeling better today.

All out of freezer today was 2 portions of HM veg soup.

Kirri

Thanks Edwardia, will go and have a look in a sec, London water is disgusting! and yes was going to post about the box, have done a contents list. It's SO tempting to eat! I've not been cooking properly the last week and it's making me want to make the effort seeing how good it all looks.


Breakfast - banana
Lunch - hm oat bread toast and mini cheddar portion
Snack - Finished the jaffa cakes and started on the choc oat cakes.. and tried some of the free coconut peanuts - 1000kcal for the tin :eek:
Dinner - hm nut roast portion out the freezer and did a quick stir fry in garlic and butter - of sliced rainbow carrots, shredded cabbage and leek from the veg box

Jelly Biactol - pine nuts are good with fried cubed squash, garlic, sage or rosemary and mushrooms with pasta.

Florenceem

No freezer movements today.
We had roast potatoes, roast parsnip, brocolli, cauliflower, carrots and garlic with YS steak in gravy and onions. Cost of meal in photo - approx 85p. More than normal but we had a really cheap meal last night!
