Yesterday I turned the red cabbage that was looking sad into a freezer full off braised cabbage enough to accompany 11 meals - thanks to all of you

As I was doing it I noticed the bag of rocket was looking limp too. I would normally have thrown this out but I turned it into pea and rocket soup which I have just had for my lunch. It was delicious!!!

Now if I only I know what to do with those satsumas....

Pea and rocket soup sounds lovely - will have to try that.

mennie

it looked horrible last night when I made it. I chucked it in the fridge and reheated it for lunch and it looked, smelled and tasted nicer.

think I may make the satsumas into somekind of orange and honey muffins - inspired by a thread on here

Does muffins freeze and how would I defrost?

I just put a little olive oil in a pan and sauted some frozen peas and spring onions then wilted the rocket. I then added some veg stock and cooked off for a while then blitzed and served it up with a poached egg in the middle. ala gordon ramsay.

The satsumas might still be nice juiced. I have a lemon squeezer I use for that. Nice topped up with lemonade or frozen too.

I have been reading the OS threads in amazement and awe at how many people are geniuses in the home...thought I would give it a wee go...

I used up the tomatoes that were "ripe" in my fridge, and made home made tomato soup...yummm...

With the totties and onions that were strained from the soup and the leftover soup I am going to make a sausage and tomato caserolle tomorrow..

My hubby is amazed at the changes in the kitchen, and puts it down to the tips and hints on this site...my home baking is becoming known to anyone who visits!!

Thanks everyone for the great ways to save money, make friends, get recipies and get support...you are all stars!!!
