    Made the mistake of going into the farm shop on the way to get our hair cuts (hairs cut?) and they had 2 lovely tbones and new potatoes.  So much for hanging out with the vegans....

    Have lots of mushrooms to use up so had decided on a chickpea and mushroom curry - until I looked in the cupboard to find I am out of chickpeas 🤦‍♀️ As it was too late to soak any by then, I have fished a couple of chicken breasts out of the freezer and will
    make chicken and mushroom curry instead. Served with rice and naan. I might make a Dahl as well as have a full jar of red lentils…..

    Kids have friends over after school tonight and DH is out, so I’m going to buy the M&S pizza meal deal on the way home from work for them, and I’ll have leftover dhal from last night.

    Thanks for the suggestion @happydenial
     
    I went to make the soup and looked at the limp slimy mess in the freezer bag and the bin was the winner.  just didn't look at all appetizing so thought it best to draw a line under that adventure.
    A very important point! Sometimes I’m guilty of keeping stuff just because I’m loathe to throw it out, even if I know we’ll probably never eat it. And that’s daft because it just takes up valuable freezer space!

    Tonight’s dinner will either be fakeaway pizza with patatas bravas & chicken goujons or the leftover frozen Indian takeaway from last week.
