    Thanks caronc! I will be glad to complete this mini-challenge and then on to another perhaps. Hope your challenge is going well.

    Currently:-

    3 batch cooked recipes (2017) consisting upon 5 portions to use up. These are all dessert-type.

    Weekend food shopping meant acquiring two "yellow-sticker" items.
    They are savoury so should not affect my mini-challenge.

    Thanks dannie - my challenge is a bit of a "work in progress" LOL.... That said I'm down to five remaining portions from batch cooking from 2017 (1 HM ready meal, 2 portions HM soup and 2 portions of white sauce). I've some other things though from earlier in 2018 so it's a bit of a revolving door!

    In: 7 hot cross buns
    Out: nothing
    Used up: end of a punnet of mushrooms, a small wrinkly swede, streaky bacon
    Ditched: end of a carton of single cream (well OOD and smelt funny), some very tired celery
