Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

Happy_Sloth

Can someone explain what you mean be In and Out... i'm guessing something going into the cupboard and out something being used?  if this is a challenge to eat what you have surely things shouldn't go in?

Yes to the In and Out and what they mean.  However sometimes when you take something from the freezer and add things to it to make a meal there will be leftovers (LOs) which then need to be frozen.  For example, as there are only 2 of us most of what I cook makes 4-6 portions so we'll eat 2 portions and then the rest will go back into the freezer as a HM ready meal for when I'm busy or CBA'd or I'm not feeling well.  I can just get something out and cook some carbs and veg to go with it.

Hiya, like joedenise said. It about not wasting and making the most of what you have. I've also found some great recipe ideas here!
In: Costco shop yesterday, spend a quiet morning listening to HRH Prince of Wales on Classicfm catchup while portioning salmon, smoked haddock and chicken breasts for freezer. They also had a special on part baked petit pains, half for cupboard, half for freezer.
Out: milk. I've never frozen lacto free milk before, but the price difference between low cost shops and supermarkets is crazy. It either 85p or £1.50 on one comparison i made. And between work and covid i can't go queue every few days. Fingers crossed it tastes ok.

Can't see any reason that lacto free milk frozen and then defrosted will be any different to ordinary milk.  Just make sure you defrost it slowly and give it a good shake to remix it as it might separate.

Nothing in today.
Some mixed beans & a small portion mixed bean goulash out.  Will be combined, some extra paprika, another onion & tin of tomatoes will be added to make sure there's enough for tonight's dinner and possibly enough for tomorrow lunch.

 Very, very tempted to pop to my nearest shop, Aldi, would consider some salad, but trying to use what fresh veg I have, also my broad bean plants have lots to pick.
