Same here with ice cream and lollies, many in and out!
Took some frozen fruit out of the freezer but I did put in some broad beans that I picked off the lottie that I knew I wasn't going to use
Today I'm having a stir fry made with bits and pieces I have in the fridge and some more fruit and ice cream for afters. I'm having a bit of salad from the garden with a tin of mackerel for lunch.

Can I please join?
I've just been food shopping, then gotten home and stood in front of the cupboards in disbelief. I have no idea what I'm doing. The cupboards are constantly full of weird things I buy and I never know how to use everything up.
Odds and ends and all sorts of stuff I buy all the time and it all just sits there... Not to mention I'm pretty much out of money until the end of this month and we are a family of five (three averagely fussy children) so I've got to magic meals up out of somewhere for the rest of the month.
I need to get it under control!0 -

In yesterday
1 pack of bacon and 12 burgers
out five burgers
today in nothing
out lamb kebabs and some diced pork.0
