I'm eating out if my freezer, making sure that every single item is eaten up.
This has ment some pretty strange combinations of cuisine or items, and I though we could share the lengths we all go to, to use up and waste less.

Mine include, tonight
Chicken Kiev with stir fry veg and baked beans .

What's yours?
today's mood is brought to you by coffee, lack of sleep and idiots.

Living on my memories, making new ones.

    I'm also using up bits and bobs from the freezer and today had a fish cake with a small yogurt pot of lamb hotpot.


    When I was a student I used to share a house with someone who ate marmalade and marmite sandwiches every day.

    I also love super noodle sandwiches (cooked sweet and sour/Chicken super noodles or cheese, ham and leek pasta and sauce packet with multi seed bread and butter is yummy!

    I love Brussels sprouts, and I love mint sauce from jars. It was only a matter of time until I combined them & found a greater love :D


    erm


    Should I also mention I love curry ? I had curried sprouts for a birthday dinner once too

    My OH once served me tinned pilchards in tomato sauce - on Weetabix. Wasn't too bad, once I'd got over the surprise...

    The banana and bacon seems to be an Australian thing - my MIL has them on sandwiches together after spending 15 or so years out there.

    One that really revolts me, but I've seen it served is an Amerixan dish mixing cottage cheese with green jello (I think lime flavour but not certain) or just serving jello as another food group with an otherwise normal meal. Tends to come from Utah.

    Totally second the noodle sandwiches, with a little butter to prevent bread going too soggy. Yummy.
