    lasagna and salad.  I've got some little tiny salamis to have as well when we are having cocktails.

    Yesterday I used some bacon out of a 75p cooking bacon pack and fried off some cooked small potatoes and an egg for dinner.
    Froze the rest of the bacon pack when freezer was opened to get out yogurt pizza dough for tonight's meal.

    interesting comment about putting things in the freezer as it was open.  The OH has been known to open the fridge and then wander about the kitchen putting the coffee on etc.  Not only a waste of energy but a reason why the milk goes off so quickly.  There's been so many comments about using one's oven efficiently but this is the first mention I've seen of being efficient with one's fridge/freezer.

    Brie - we try not to open the freezer more than necessary - I plan a week's menu and make a note of the days when visits to the freezer are required.

  • I had jalapeno poppers from the freezer with a ginger, tomato and sesame sauce and some tortilla chips as a treat followed by a coffee.
