    Extra to add. 

    Last night/Today I have
    -Frozen 2 portions of Rhubarb crumble and saved 2 for tonight
    -Frozen 4 balls of Mozzarella (YS at the CO0P) 
    -Frozen a pack of veg (also YSd)
    -Repotted/Transplanted 5 lettuces as the mighty sized slugs were having a feast
    -Done a stock take of the fridge

    Can anyone reading help with recipe ideas for using a few odds and ends up (soup would be fine but happy for anything really) for the following:

    Bunch of Spring onions
    1/2 Cherry toms
    1/3 head broccoli

    I have most store cupboard items so would be easy to add to stuff. Im leaning towards cous cous/tabbouleh right now but open to suggestions. 
    TIAx

    Variation on a theme - how about a summery risotto with added frozen peas?

    Happy Hump Day Folks. 

    So a couple of things to start my Wednesday off:

    -Lloyds balance is updated but last months interest isnt yet applied. I think that'll be tomorrow so will hold out until then and pay everything in full. Even done a few extra surverys to ensure the interest is covered too!
    -Cooked the veggie fried rice (thank you readers) using last nights left over rice 
    -Peeled and boiled potatoes for dinner - Cottage pie tonight (out of the freezer was 2 bags of carrots and 1 pack of mince... along with 2 small packets of pork mince which went straight into the bin as i was dubious when i put them in there in the first place and after the weekend just darent trust it!)
    -Portioned soup i made yesterday and froze that also (however i added bits of broken pasta to bulk it out, forgot about it and now think you could lay bricks with said soup but ah well!)
    -Fed the veg outside
    -Quickly tidied 
    All before work! Wahoo.

    Nothing exciting here, not until that CC is cleared im afraid but if youre still reading thanks!
