Bit of freezer chaos atm, I started using the small freezer again but it's obviously on its last legs and only works when turned up to full, as I found out the hard way, so I lost a new 2 litre tub of ice cream and 7 pork steaks (the dogs enjoyed those!), so I'm rearranging and doing a new inventory, and determined to reduce the contents (having it on full is heavy on the electricity
) at the same time as filling it with courgette and blackberries! :eek:
Out: ice cream, pork chops, 3 salmon steaks
In: 6 RTC chicken breasts, loads of courgettes, blackberries, 8 jacket potatoes, pack of sausages, 4 beef burgers, 2 soy burgers and loads of bread rolls (bbq left overs)0 -

Since my last post, all the online (food) groceries arrived this time. They were mainly "staples" with a few extras to combine with existing food "supplies".
The breads/desserts to be used up are 4.5 from 21 to finish.0
