    I have 'things' in the freezer to make into 'stuff' but I'm really not sure what I fancy tonight - getting a bit too hot again. I also have a bag of rather brown looking salad that is making me feel guilty about not eating it

    I have made something along the lines of Jack Monroe's tagine dish, using the following:

    Chopped onion, garlic, red pepper and red chilli pepper, diced chicken breast, tinned butter beans, tinned chopped tomatoes, tinned mandarin orange segments incl juice, hefty amounts of cumin, parsley, turmeric and paprika, the juice of half a lemon and a dash of white wine vinegar. I add a little corflour to thicken the liquid, and a naughty swirl of cream as well.

    I made it last night and we are finishing it off this evening, it's really tasty served over rice.

    That sounds lovely CJ. Might have to give that a try.

    Had a veggie omelette for lunch and used up a few bits from the fridge. Tonight we're having a traybake with sea bream fillets. Looking forward to that as haven't had bream for ages.

    Lordy! Lordy!
    Where was I yesterday?
    Had a lovely lunch with a very good friend with a little wine (she lied :whistle:) and then deconstructed and reconstructed a pizza when I got home.
    Was very nice (I think).
    Tonight is fish with a sauce (have 2 options, depends what I find first in the freezer) with minted new potatoes and a small side salad

    Aforementioned salad got a wash and has duly been consumed along with a bit of cold chicken that I stole from the cat (it was a pack in the fridge for her...I didn't actually pick it out of her bowl :rotfl:)

    Used up a froze number banana and some berries today making a couple of smoothies that have also been consumed
