Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

dannie

Hopeless Case - I meant that the items were unavailable so not sent. The store also sent an email before the delivery arrived informing me of this.

NOTE: There has been a recall on certain brands of frozen sweetcorn and products containing it. I don;t know how to post a link, but worth checking if you have any in the freezer. It shouldn't really be a problem if you cook it, but I often take out a handful to use without cooking.

I saw the recall - 4 people have died so I would defo take anything you have with sweetcorn in it back to the store. Lucky for me, I can't stand the stuff.

Just finished in the kitchen...
The pastrami was a success and we had it with some dill pickles and a potato salad with the rest of the ciabatta from lunchtime, plus a few other bits that needed using up.

I've bottled the ducks legs for later in the year and made a moussaka for tomorrow.

Managed to barter the corned beef and teabags for a rather nice lettuce, spring onions, radishes, some greenhouse tomatoes and a couple of courgettes that are almost marrows.

On the way back, popped into Morrisons for more garlic, but I also 2 kgs of strawberries for £4 - and that is all I bought! Result on both counts (cheap strawberries and sticking to what I went in for). The strawberries are in the maslin pan with sugar from the food mountain and will macerate overnight. I've everything ready and I'll add some lemon juice tomorrow, boil up and get into the jars. I'm doing a cream tea in a couple of weeks to help a local charity, so the jam (or some of it) will come in handy then. The rest will be eaten: mostly by me.

Right. Off to watch Corrie on catch-up and then to bed. Exhausted!

Had pork cheeks and veg from freezer last night, lamb chops and veg (freezer) tonight, Thai style chciken & soya beans for veg (freezer) tomorrow. Am cooking about half doz jmedium jkt spuds in SC today to put in freezer for when I get back home from operation. Am doing a mystery shop job on Sunday and an item which has been on my wish list (when I went there again and had room) is sriracha steaks (they were soo good when I had before) and habanero chick thighs, these are on offer so happy to buy them now. Gradually using older stuff from freezers but did put 6 portions of soup in yesterday (that makes about 2 weeks worth) and some yoghurt buns (15) some of them had a glace cherry on top so just have about 1/3 big pot jog left to use up. Used the mozz (before it explodes) and need to use the feta. Some cooking bacon to go with I think the Italian potatoes so fridge is clearing too. Checked my sweetcorn and mixed frozen veg and am OK with them. Will boil some eggs for snacks over the next few days. Op. day approaching. Well done mrsd you have really started on your mountain and encouraged me too thanks.

For the first week of July, I aim to use up more previously prepared freezer stored batch cooked recipes. These make up three and will each have several servings. They are in the fridge and I have been using them yesterday and today.

I did not quite manage to use up the above recipes so have continued to do so today. Should be all gone by the end of tomorrow. They were the oldest from the freezer.


No weekend shopping done but have been picking (free) black currants from my own bush and one locally. Some of these are now in the freezer. Do not plan to go out shopping for quite awhile as my preferred transport (bicycle) is now broken.
