Quick questions on ANYTHING (see first post for Freezing, Reheating, Slow Cooker, +)

Just cooked some sausages for tea and got loads of fat out of them. Can I use it for anything, instead of putting it in the bin?

(Spent £70 at the supermarket for the first time EVER last week, and it was just a normal shop :eek: so am cutting down!! Had sausages and Bread and Cheese pudding, using leftover HM bread, for tea :T)

frying or roasting potatoes. mixing with seeds for the birds (although might be too salty) expect others might suggest add to bread mix

Hi, I have bought too much coleslaw and my dd and dh do not like it. I don't think I can freeze it but is there anything I can make with it for dinners apart from salad. My dh only eats meat and chips so I only cook for my dd and myself who are fish eating veggies. I have just done a 5 week meal planner but am at a loss as to how I can incorporate the coleslaw into it. I always have homemade soup for lunch and make dh packed lunch and dd has school dinners. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi. Mr Tesco has delivered some rather ripe nectarines, I was thinking of stewing/poaching some to have for dessert tonight. I'm not sure if I use sugar or sugar and water and cook them in the pan, or whether to sprinkle sugar on and leave to soak and then cook or what? I don't want it to go tooo toffeee the juice. Thanks

I've just had to defrost some Coley to get it apart and there's too much for tea. If I cook it all can I freeze the left overs to put in a fish pie later, or make the pie now and freeeze it?

Hi Bobbadog,
Here you are:
CHEWY SOFT FLOUR TORTILLA
2 CUPS PLAIN FLOUR about
1 ½ TSP BAKING POWDER
1TSP SALT
2TSP VEG OIL
¾ CUP WARM MILK

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl
Whisk milk, oil and salt
Pour into flour -stirring to mix
Once mixed -turned out onto a lightly floured worktop and knead for 2 mins
Cover and leave for 15 mins -it won’t rise but needs to relax
Cut into 8 balls (approx 50g each)
Cover and leave to relax for 10 mins
Roll each one out into a round -approx 8”
Heat a heavy frying pan (preferably cast iron)
Drop in one tortilla and turn after about 2 mins -the surface should bubble -press down with a teatowel (watch you don't steam your fingers )
Place inside a dry tea towel to keep warm whilst you cook the rest
You can freeze the balls of dough -but they will be a little stickier once defrosted -but as a bonus they roll out bigger too

HTH
