Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

[Deleted User]

Out and cooked yesterday a lamb shank which I will eat tonight for dinner
In nothing at all :):)

Yesterday I used up half of the leftover pizza dough from Sunday to make myself a broccoli and Savoy cabbage pizza. It was delicious! The cabbage went a little bit crispy - yum! I used cheddar on it as there was a block from xmas that needed using up (I had to chop a little bit of mould off!). While I was grating the cheddar anyway I decided to use the rest on a cheese sauce as we a fair amount of milk that was a couple of days OOD but still smelt fine. I've frozen half of it and will use the other half with pasta and greens tonight.

Yesterday's tea was a bowlful each of the parsnip dahl I made on Monday and a flatbread and it was delicious but way too spicy to have offered to the 5 year old. I have him some hm beetroot humus in a wrap but he only ate half of that saying it was ' a bit spicy'. I was confused as I didn't put any chili in it but when I tasted it again I realised the raw garlic in it had intensified in flavour and was a bit much for his palate. Next time I'll have to fry it or roast it a bit first. I've got loads of the stuff to get through on my own now as hubby isn't massively keen on humus. I have frozen half of it to give myself a fighting chance.

I will finish off the last of the pizza dough today for my lunch and start planning what needs using up next!

In: 8 pints of milk, 16 bread rolls, 2 packs of butter.

All the above were items that had run out, amazingly the freezers had just about enough room to take it all. I had to work hard to swerve the 'bargains', why is that? I don't need any meat or ready meals - it is a terrible fixation!

Using up 2017 freezer stored batch cooked recipes (several of each) = 18.

Consequently, 18 used (from 29) in January 2018.

custard powder - don't know when I last made custard
oats - I use in muesli, but not made it for a while - new resolution, have started making muesli again
sponge flour - no idea when I will use this up
1 packet of coconut flour - used some of this up with the pastry but still have a lot left. Coconut tarts in Freezer.
Self raising flour - no idea when I will use this up
Plain flour - no idea when I will use this up
Thai curry paste - packet for 10-12 servings - have used a third of this today
Tin thai curry - not ever tried this, waiting for the day I decide to try it
Keralam curry - not ever tried this, waiting for the day I decide to try it
coconut oil x 2 - one started, not using as quickly as I thought
PG tips and Nescafe - I don't drink either so depends on who visits as to when they get used up
basmati rice - I'm not that good with rice, tend to use tilda packets
[STRIKE]carrots[/STRIKE]

Peppermint tea - not sure what I will do with this as it gives me heartburn
5 packets of Sensations

Only 4 items used up in the two weeks since I posted. I'm trying to lose weight so I'm not making anything with flour, and had my Thai curry tonight without rice. I did finish the last of my chocolate ice cream though.

I've decided that this months mini challenge will be to use up the other 11 freezer batch cooked recipes.

Freezer contents from today = 1 and two thirds of a drawer empty from 4 drawers.

Hi, I know I don't need to explain myself, but I was going to be doing a challenge on here. I've had a bit of an accident and am feeling massively sorry for myself. I was running like some Olympian for the bus, after a night out, and I fell. I didn't put my hands out, for some reason, and have smashed my face really bad. I get to the bus stop and ask a lady if she has a tissue, and she starts crying, cause I look so bad and am covered in blood, and tries to insist she calls an ambulance. Anyway, I was supposed to be going to a restaurant tonight and meeting some friends later at a party, but I honestly look like something out of a horror movie, so have had to cancel. I can barely type, as I have done something to my shoulder and am in a lot of pain. Anyway, no big deal, it will all heal. But I won't be doing any challenge. Take Care.
