    Last of the weekend's chicken has been frozen to make some chicken curry at a later date! Using up the small bits tonight to make a Spanish rice - chicken & chorizo risotto.

    Jerk beef stew has been taken from the freezer for dinner tomorrow night.

    Was going to have a beef stew but couldn`t put my hand on the beef pieces, found a neck fillet so had lamb stew instead.
    Do I need it or just want it.

    Couple of things out of the freezer for today.

    HM carrot & lentil soup for lunch and liver for dinner. Will have the liver with bacon, mash & veg.

    Made some chicken stock from the chicken carcasses from the freezer. Has made a litre of jellied stock so will pack into a couple of freezer bags ready to be used for soups, casseroles etc.
  • chicken breasts from freezer, fresh mushrooms and broc. Want to make carrot and orange soup but still not able to lift heavy soupmaker, will have to wait until pain killers start kicking in (Hopeful)

    I processed a whole jar of chick peas as I am making chilli today. Only to find I might not have enough room in the freezer for 5 boxes of can-size portions :eek: - I need to tetris-shuffle

    OUT: Large pork loin joint, will probably have to freeze some with gravy in portions. Lamb burger.

  • Thats my problem with chick peas, do a batch in SC, parcel them upin individual portions and then pop them in spaces in freezers. Unfortunately I do not label often but as they are smaller bags, I lose them. Note to self, put small bags into a larger bag so I recognise them.
