Out pheasant bits for casserole Sunday, venison mince for cottage pie, apples for crumble tonight

I had a bit of a sort out. One freezer has two drawers of fish, one of venison, plus fruit and veg.
The chest freezer has just meat, quite lot of turkey, mainly  frozen uncooked carcases but there are a couple of whole birds as well, some pork, plus bits of last years venison which will be used before I start on this years carcase, and pheasants/partridges/pigeons. No lamb and no beef.
The other upright freezer has bread, meals I have cooked and frozen for another day, jams, bacon, sausages, anything bought but unopened.
The small freezer in the kitchen under the fridge has any packets that have been opened and not all used, leftovers from when I have cooked a meal which are usually turned into lunches or soup.
For once I feel reasonably well organised. I just have to work my way through the vegetables before June when this years crops will start to be frozen, French beans and beetroot tend to be the first.

Here you go @zafiro1984

I will say this: next time i will use peel instead of zest and i will leave it a lot longer (1 month was not enough) before starting to drink it. With the pear brandy i left it 3 months as suggested by the recipe and one could taste how it improved each month.
Oh, and i used gin and caster sugar instead.

Out: discovered a big posh panettone that was supposed to be part of a xmas gift we weren't able to deliver, back of bottled pears. Dessert sorted next few days.
In:  2x cooked rice
Saw that whole salmon almost half the price than whole side (Easter specials), so think will get that instead and freeze cooked portions.

Was that one of the supermarkets @carinjo?  If so which one, as I'd like to get a whole salmon.  DH smokes ours but like to get it when it's on special!

I saw it in the Ald1 Easter magazine. £4.99/kg, 2-3kg each. On sale from 1stApril. The photo of the fish doesn't have a head, so not sure if that is how they will sell it! The side of salmon advertised at £9.99/kg, also on sale from 1st.

Thanks @carinjo.  Will have to brave out Ald1 then - absolutely hate that shop but if they've got salmon that cheap it's got to be done!
