  • Using fresh meat and veggies I bought yesterday along with the usual store cupboard stuff. Have half the chips I bought yesterday in fridge but will be OK for tomorrow with chicken from freezer and more mushrooms. The rerst of the mushrooms have been put into paper bags (grabbed some from Morries) and put in fridge, they will last at least a week in there, if I do not think I will use them, I will cook or slice and freeze some.

    Ended up not having the fish pie last night as I'd made to much biryani the night before so we had that instead.

    Making the fish pie today.

    IN:0
    OUT:2 slices of black pudding.
    Do I need it or just want it.
  • Well got to start the X gifts, have little of no idea of what to get so have to look around for months. Little children are not too bad but mine are children+spouses age 40's to 50's amd grandchildren from 15 to 30's even ggrandchild but I accosted some young mums with similar aged ones in Lid. and asked advice so sorted. Do not need to put stuff in freezer as get invited out for the big day but am looking for prawn ring as I like that and ate the last one a couple of months ago. Like to buy freezer and cupboard stuff that I like, just for me, so have been trying to use some items so I have roomfor the seasonal stuff. Got a bottle of Baileys in my "Brexit Box", making out its for if I cannot buy but really, hidden from me so I can have at the festive time.

    You are right of course whmf - it was just the first one I've seen and I thought, gulp!

    I have actually now booked a venue for a Christmas shopping and coffee morning (this morning) and prepared a leaflet to let people order their homemade Christmas cakes and mince pies.
