Freezer space - might aim for 3 out of 4 drawers empty by end May 2018.

Managed it!

My freezer door opened itself today & everything has defrosted in the heat!
Oh well, my freezer needed defrosting anyway. The only thing I!!!8217;m bitter about losing is my fab lollies. New start I guess & an excuse to defrost & clean the freezer while I!!!8217;m at it.

Managed to save my hot cross buns, scones, chocolate paste & naan breads.

Yikes re the freezer defrosting I'd be devastated if that happened!
My shopping today was mainly fresh stuff so apart from some bread rolls nothing added to the freezers/cupboards.
In: rolls
Out: tinned mackerel
Used up: nothing

Oh no what a shame :(

Out: Pack of 2 YL tuna steaks, have a best before date in March and it definitely wasn't this March... Now marinating in the hope they're not too tough and dry (or have the fishy old tuna taste - yuk!!)
In: Nothing thank goodness, I need to use up and defrost and it seems fuller than ever

Out, two beef burgers, mushroom curry, two slices of bread, 4 rashers of bacon.

In: beef curry.

One freezer drawer is now empty which is good as the raspberries, currants and gooseberries are looking good and I will need somewhere to put them.

In: nothing
Out: pork steak
Used up: cooked ham

Well an - umm - interesting breakfast today! I had a fried egg and mushroom sandwich but decided to use up some of my frozen pita bread stash. Used a gluten free one as it was the last in the pack, and it really didnt work! It fell apart so I had to use a knife and fork, and it tasted odd, but oh well, another one gone!

Out: 1 pitta bread, 1 dish of Hairy Dieters fish pie with leek mash (the second half of the one I made last week - nice easy lunch today)

In: nothing

Out: steak and a pint of milk.

In: 3 chillies, 1/3 butternut squash, hm paprika potato wedges

Hi, I'm still around and will continue with this challenge. (It usually takes me awhile to "get started" each month plus other things have added to this).


So a new month:-


- Will aim for 3.5/4 freezer drawers empty this month but my main focus is to use up 6 previously batch cooked recipes.


- Did not do any of my usual local weekend shopping so no food coming in so far.
