    Made hummus and bread today so that’s a carton of chick peas and half a bag of flour put to use. Used a no knead recipe that I haven’t used in years so hopefully will taste ok.

    Dinner was random curry leftovers from freezer, bulked out with another carton of chick peas and some brown rice from freezer.

    Made rice pudding to help us use up stewed plums and gooseberries. A little fruit left but DH enjoyed it so I suggested he had it with yoghurt another day.

    Need to do a proper stocktake soon, the spice drawer is out of control

    Still no 2017 freezer stored batch cooked recipes (completely) used up. Nevertheless, some are getting less and also other food "supplies" are being used/finished.

    No (local) weekend shopping yet due to the weather!

    Out: 2 X slices of sourdough bread (lucky find as I have been low carbing for about 6 months so this is a bit of a treat).

    Still 4 out of the 11 mini-challenge freezer stored recipes used up. No weekend shopping purchases so making it a little easier to use up what I have first.
