In: nothing

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.
