Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

mrs-moneypenny

was going to use the froz dumpings up but ive decided to make some pastry and call the quorn chunks and veggie combo a pie instead. using up the last of some sprouts on a stick from new year so along with some swede/pot mash thats our meal sorted.

freezer still full - theres just enough space for bread and milk which ill need at the weekend.

In to freezer - nothing.
Out of freezer - HM Crumble + HM Fish Pie + HM Yorkshire Puddings + Roast Turkey + Sage/Onion Stuffing + Muffin.
No photo tonight - I have asked Mr F for new camera batteries - no joy so far.
I went to take photos tonight - camera did not want to know.
Told Mr F - the thread won't be happy with him.
We had Black Pudding + LO fried off roast potatoes + chestnut mushrooms + baked beans + buttered toast + tomato + poached egg for dinner.

I had to imagine the black pudding and it's just not the same I never liked it until I tried Laverstoke Park organic black pudding..awesome !

OUT tonight, some nut cutlets, some frozen organic peas and sweetcorn, some BE mini potato waffles for OH (organic fried egg for me yummy)

My card was declined, called bank twas fraud department and eek some rotters had swiped some dosh. Card hadn't ever been out of my mitts, don't do internet banking, always cover PIN, only use ATM in emergencies, OH doesn't even know my PIN, never access !!!!!! sites and no-one else uses my laptop. :mad:

So be careful !

Edwardia:- Hope you get your money back. I sent a large cheque through the post last year and it was intercepted and paid into someone else's ac. had to go through the fraud section of the bank but they were very good and I got all my money back

Soworried:- I'll open freezer tomorrow. had a look at the chocolate and marzipan cookies you linked to, will try them look really good.

Trying really hard this month not to spend on household things as I need to save as much as possible this year. I'm going to give ebay a try as I need to declutter. I've 40+ married years of items, my daughter has decluttered she says it saves time on the cleaning, must give it a try.

Freezer (not the one I turned off by mistake)
out:- fish, prawns, salmon bits, for a fish pie
in:- portions of orange curd made with left over 'Christmas oranges'

soworried - I like your food presentation with the Indian meal!
Florenceem - it's not the same without the nightly pic!
zafiro - that's a long time for a freezer to be off - I'd have had to have a peak to see how soft stuff was. I agree with the declutter thing, does make things easier/quicker to clean/tidy.


My fridge was almost bare this week, never seen it so empty - had small Ocado order now thankfully. Veg box order also due. Still trying to keep shopping to bare minimum, really need to keep spends as low as poss. Still plenty of variety of dried goods so just getting fresh bits to add to that.

Edwardia - I put in the peas, sweetcorn, nut cutlets! The frozen org peas/sweetcorn were very small bags though - hadn't had them before, I don't normally buy frozen veg but got these as no added salt/sugar unlike the tins.

Last night's meal was literally what was left in the fridge - sprouts and watercress and some lentils from the cupboard, flavoured with garlic/bay. Tasted quite nice! Had more exciting meals though. It was maybe more suited to a lunch than a dinner.

Not sure what I'll have tonight yet - fancy jacket potato with sweetcorn/peas though really need to use the last of the sprouts/watercress before the new veg arrives.
