    In:  sausages; chicken thighs; chicken breasts
    Out:  goat tagine for dinner tomorrow

    Edit:  have got out some ox cheek to make jerk stew.  Needs to defrost so that I can marinade it overnight tomorrow ready to make on Thursday.  Won't be eating immediately but will be going into the freezer as one of the meals to take on holiday with us!

    Out 2 x trout, 4 bread rolls, cooked turkey neck - please don't turn your nose up at turkey neck I grew them myself, organic, and the biggest one dressed out at over 21kg, so you can imagine (or maybe not) how much meat there was on the neck - shame to waste it. I've used it for soup.

    Pamdish - any shopping yet?  I'm doing ok so far, but I don't have much milk left.  
    Sorry only just noticed your question, @zafiro1984 Had to go Aldi on Sat, can`t remember what was so urgent.
    Looked back on grocery thread, it was hot dogs, the ones in jars so I can get one out to secrete the dogs meds, got 3 jars, I don`t mind them so not wasted.
    Do I need it or just want it.

    Update from this morning.  The bacon has been sliced and there is nearly 2Kg of proper dry cure bacon gone into the freezer.  Have kept some out to have for breakfast tomorrow.

    In addition to the sliced bacon there are some thinner slices which have been bagged up and frozen to use for sandwiches.  The start and finish slices have been cubes as lardons and for carbonara.

    The piece of pork loin was quite expensive but worth it for the taste of proper bacon.  The amount of bacon we've got would cost at least double to buy ready done.
