The pasta bakes were fine. The tahini just melted in. I coudn't taste it but at least it is not wasted. I expect it is good for us. Loaf not out yet.

inspired by this thread i just made blueberry cupcakes with some blueberries which were soft and squashy. The husband was thrilled!

just been directed to this thread. ! Yet another one to give me help and inspiration.
I have been trying to use things up, but reading just the beginning of this thread proves to me that I am not doing as well as I thought.
mmm back to the drawing board.

Ideas for left over roast beef - mostly sliced. Have already had heated up slices in gravy - fancy something with a bit of oomph - any ideas please?

Roast beef and horseradish sanwiches, or beef and onion sandwiches.
RB salad, or just freeze some slices for a dinner another time.

I used to mince up left over cooked meats, and then use it to make cottage pie type things, or meat loafs. Must admit I havent done it for years. Still have the mincer at the back of the cupboard.!

only thing that comes to mind is to peel/depip and use in some sort of dessert? maybe a sponge layer, fruit layer and top with ice cream? I'm not fond of oranges so not the best person to give advice

its amazing what you can do with a piece of stale cake - my dd tells everyone that I used to make them have stale cake and custard - its true!

After a sunday lunch with my dsis and dbil I came home with a piece of the beef joint which was a little chewy :eek: I minced it up in the food processor and made a huge cottage pie which was gorgeous - most of it in the freezer now! I have a spong mincer gathering dust in the cupboard, never thought to use it thanks for the reminder!

If we're going to have roast beef, I usually buy a larger joint than we need so I can make cottage pie with the rest - the best way to make it :T
