I've had a baking day, I made a beef and mushroom pie, the beef was from the freezer lo from christmas, cheese straws, the puff pastry was from the freezer as well, quiche and creme caramel, the creme caramel mix was from stores from when they were paying us to take them away.

No freezer movements. The chest freezer is still heaving.

Soworried Impressive baking, love the pics
Florenceem looks yummy, I look forward to your daily photos

Freezer movements:-
Out yesterday: turkey bones for stock. The stock was so thick it set when cool and I need to separate out the bones etc so I think I'll get the rest of the ingredients ready for soup, then gently warm it, take the bones and skin out and make the soup. I'll have to wait until this pm to do that as I need leeks out of the order being delivered this pm.

The soup that will go back in the freezer will occupy more space than the bones that came out, and here I am trying to reduce what is in the freezer not add to it as it's heaving at the moment, I must be stupid.

Also got out some cooked ham and turkey - guess what left overs they were, made a pie for DH and turned it into a small curry for myself as I worked out there would be less calories. Almost forgot, sliced apples for pudding, didn't realise I had not enough milk for custard, no ice-cream or cream, so made a runny toffee sauce to go over the top. DH has requested that again.

In: Some Ginger and Treacle bake, a Mary Berry recipe. I freeze all my baking in portions as it disappears if I don't. DH always blames the dog but the dog never puts on any weight!!!

The free milk coupon is back, in the Waitrose mag dated 16/1 Redeem by 23/1. MNR - you've probably already spotted this!

Not much shopping here, mostly veg.. bland meals continuing so they are all variation on a theme.. I did take some pics but hadn't got round to uploading and they all look much the same! Having a small org veg delivery today, though in Waitrose this morning they had quite a bit of veg reduced including plenty of organic but had to resist as didn't want to overbuy.

Not really used anything up as mostly I am having to buy fresh. Might make a bean dip later though from the yellow split peas in the cupboard.

Kirri i was just coming on to mention it and ask if it was bland enough for you to have! lol, i find that it doesnt freeze well, just seperates, am i freezing too late? or is that just how it is.

Freezer is nearly empty, thank god pay day is tuesday, i have a pack of sausage meat, 8 slices of bread, a pack of short crust pastry, peppers, a pot of ready made pasta, a pot of homemade baked beans, a pack of pastrami and 4 hot dog rolls i there, time to be creative, i'm thinking meatballs and spaghetti and some pes can be made, i have loads in my cupboards though.

Yesterday i was lazy and had sausage sandwiches and home made tomato chilli sauce. that was nice, i will make that sauce again it's brilliant.
