Reverse Meal Planning

Retrieved two gargantuan portions of moussaka from the freezer yesterday that were exchanged for a smaller pot of chilli (and the processed seville oranges that are not made into marmalade yet). We eat the last of the chilli last night and I'm waiting for "market surprise fish" to find out what we are having tonight (that moussaka tomorrow). DH has been gone since 08.45 - obviously more crowded than normal. It would be more helpful if it opened at 08.00 instead of 09.00

@purpleybat - I was going to suggest A&C - they have really nice citrus this year - I've been eating clementines & blood oranges from them all month!

We,re coming to the end of the Seville Orange season now.  It,s a fairly short one.  Worth emailing nearby friends to ask them to get some for you if they spot them.  They can be frozen if necessary if can't be used immediately but best to wrap each one  individually in clingfilm to prevent  them being frosted.  They actually slice up.more easily after thawing than the crest ones.  We found this year,s crop excellent.

Hi all, 
retrieved some chicken thighs and breasts from the freezer this morning, will make them into a spanish chicken casserole and serve with mash for dinner.

Tidied the indoor freezer today. Result is loads of tomatoes from freezer (and some squishy ones from fridge) made into tomato and bacon soup with 1 lump of stock also from freezer (only 18 more left.....) Ate 2/3 of the soup for lunch today. 
Dinner tonight will be lamb koftas using some lamb mince and the last of some pomegranate molasses.  Was going to make flatbreads to go with them but we have 7 packs in the freezer, so will use some of those instead (not as nice as hm but I need the space!)  Will also use some 0li0 salad with them  

Haven't tackled the garage freezer yet... may be a job for next week!

If you miss out on seville oranges, you could resort to a tin of Ma Made prepared seville oranges - I have done so in the past when I missed out and they are fine in a pinch. Asbo and Waitflower used to do them (have not checked in recent years) but I just checked and they do still make it

We had fresh salmon fillets yesterday (about double the size I usually get! because DH either does not specify or specifies too big!) - anyway for a change I made a seasoned flour, an egg wash and opened a sealed pack of (BBE2017) panko breadcrumbs. Had them oven baked on foil with sweet potato baked slices (a cross between crisps and wedges) and frozen veg - spinach, corn and peas. What a treat, but about 1/3rd of my weekly shopping bill went on these

I'm surprised @Suffolk_lass you did not serve 1 fillet between the two of you, sounds delicious.
