I'm trying to clear out the fridge before shopping and to make some freezer space before Christmas! Made a lovely ragu last night with leftover pork from the weekend and some home made tomato sauce, really delicious and will try and do this a bit more over winter with our tomato glut. Tonight is sausage casserole with some leftover yorkshire puddings that need used up from the weekend. I've made a rice pudding too and am doing it in the slow cooker, a bit of an experiment for me so not sure how it will turn out. I've also had a good scour of the freezer and have got some chicken thighs out to make a curry for tomorrow now that our weather is turning a bit colder.
Your loaded flatbread is very good reverse planning @leftatthetrafficlights

That sounds fantastic - we eat much more simply because most of the time, neither of us can be a**ed to cook. I have one Uchi kuri (onion squash), curing on the windowsill - looking forward to that

I shopped a bit differently in September - we were away for a fortnight but I over-bought the things in the points boosters in my Morries loyalty card. It took my voucher total up by about £8 but I am unconvinced as I have a tendency to stockpile and this makes it worse. Anyway, it's another way they tempt us to eat stuff we don't need to! I'm away for another week next week so leaving Mr Sl to his own devices. He might need eggs but is otherwise in the land of plenty.
I plan a ragu tonight. Minced beef is defrosting

Eat out with my friend who I took to hospital, so Mr Sl went to his bike club meet (a pub) and eat there. Mince needs cooking but hey ho - making bread first
