Preparing for Winter

I always freeze flour for 24 hours yes. Could have please, your fav recipe for fleece. Fried with chips and noodles is mine.
EDITED- yes for 24 hrs then take it out, that's what I was told to do.

Would freezing the flour and then defrosting and packing away be best or do peeps just leave it in the freezer until using it?

I`m not sure if i shall have the space to keep it all in the freezer :eek:

I`ve already bought a couple of extra bags to keep over winter.

You don't need to defrost it as it doesn't freeze, just use it direct from the freezer.

I freeze for 24 hours, remove and let the bag dry out, then put in one of those big plastic boxes.

Favourite recipe for fleece:

Half a single fleece
2 large onions
any old carrots

Pressure cook for 40 mins and season to taste.

My coalman has called round today to say that the prices will be going up at the end of the month.

B grade is at the moment £13.50 per 50kg bag which is a summer discount on last years winter price of £16 per bag.

He said it will more than likely go up over the £16 this winter.

I have ordered and paid for 20 bags and have paid £250 or £12.50 per 50kg bag ( he gives a 5% bulk pre pay discount)

Could pad it out with lentils to make it stretch a bit further

Hmmm fleece bolognaise, fleece au gratin any more ideas guys? Pigs in blankets :rotfl:Sorry am a little crazy tonight! fleece is made from recycled plastic isn't it - all those carrier bags may well come in useful.

Does it matter what colour fleece? Is a red one riper than a green one? (Sorry, it's been a long morning. )

I bought the first item from my stock up list this week - a torch - and I managed to get a wind-up one so I don't need to worry about the batteries being flat when I need to use it.

Has the fleece harvest suffered from the weather though - are their going to be shortages? And what will we use to keep warm when we eat all the fleeces - Ahh you hadn't thought of that had you!
