Making chicken feed of my mortgage
Comments

Not doing mine. It would look like:
- 1/2 loaf
- 4 sausages which may or may not be low fat
- oh look, some escaped peas
- tomato puree
- something that is probably soup
- oh look more escaped peas
- ice lollies for when DD visits
- pork joint
- 1 sausage which may or may not be low fat and may or may not be the same as the other 4
- choc ices - hmmmm, Mr GG has been shopping
- oh look, more escaped peas
.
:wave:
No escaped sweetcorn? How did you manage that?
BTW, "probably" soup is an official soup flavour around here! :rotfl:

My last probably soup was stew. Lovely to have alongside my salad at work

I do write labels on most things. But because I know what they are I eat them 1st. So the unknowns lurk. And invite their friends over. And the peas obviously. Proper little gate crashers they are :rotfl:. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

I never write on the containers - how much hassle would it be to just get a marker for that purpose? Very little would be my guess:o
And yes, probably soup is a familiar dish here too but quite often turns out just to be plain passatta that I stuck in there and forgot about, very disappointing...Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Ha ha, that made me laugh. I defrosted some stewing beef to make a casserole only to find when I opened the bag that it was a pound of damsons!!!:rotfl:Mortgage at end 05/2007: £90200

Morning MWC, boy it's windy today - so tempting to put some bedding on the line but with the forecast of rain, we could be grabbing it off the line as well.
Thistle, that has to be the most organised freezer list I've seen. Made me laugh at the damsons. Mr T has taken the last (hopefully) mystery meal from the freezer today. Who knows what's for dinner.
I found this tip on the OS board and cannot remember who posted it, so can't acknowledge them. However, I'm giving it a go. Keep a roll of masking tape in the kitchen, then snip a bit off, slap onto the freezer container and write the contents on the tape. This sounds like a brilliant idea :T

Good morning everyone
We've had a lovely couple of days away
Our night at Morston Hall was a real treat - luxurious room, delicious food and perfectly matched wine - absolute bliss!
Our favourite dish was salt-baked jerusalem artichokes with fresh truffle and an egg yolk - we have some fartichokes in the fridge so Mr MWC will try to recreate it :cool:
We walked 14.5 miles in total over 2 days along the Norfolk Coast Path (between Wells-next-the-sea and Burnham Overy Staithe, and back) - it was tough going in the strong wind :eek: Sunshine all day though :T
Norfolk Dream is right - the sky on the Norfolk coast is huuuuge :rotfl:
Then yesterday evening we went to a Choral Society performance of Bach's Mass in B Minor where a friend was singing Soprano 1

Ooh lovely! I remember singing the counter-tenor solos to that in Lymm Parish Church a few years back. The Agnus Dei is just exquisite! It was nerve-wracking though. It's so difficult to sing!!
Jealous!!!:D
