    Easy dinner of quiche, buttered new potatoes and salad here tonight. Bread and butter for the potato-hating child.

    As I'm going on holiday shortly I am eating from the freezer/fridge. so today my main meal will be a couple of drumsticks (good size ) from the freezer plus some mashed potato also from the freezer and some mixed veg again from freezer.Pudding is some diced grapes and the last of my oranges all chopped up and mixed together with a dollop of plain yogurt on top.This I will have at lunchtime and at teatime I'll just have a cheese salad sandwich. I'm using everything up as much as possible so nothing goes to waste. Looking at the fridge I have a small cos lettuce, two tomatoes some cheese, three eggs, and some bacon left in thereThis will be added to odds and ends from the freezer to use them up I also have two litres of orange juice and some plain yogurt. Lots of tinned stuff in the cupboards though and plenty in the freezer so at the moment no shopping needed :) 

    When I come home in mid July I usually go to the local farm shop on the IoW and bring fresh stuff home with me so I don't have to rush out for shopping My eldest DD pops fresh milk and bread in for me on the day I am coming home

    @london_1 I did the same as you, popped to a farm shop on the way home.  £34 later..... but couldn't resist the tomatoes and potatoes and and.

    Tonight its salad, I bought a quiche so that will do me, will probably do some breaded chicken as well.

    lamb chops to be done on the bbq with cous cous and roasted peppers.

    and the farm shop had lots of thin local asparagus going quite cheaply so I've got a huge bundle of that for tomorrow - will ask OH to pick up some salmon or similar from the mongers when he's at the market tomorrow.
