    I tidied the kitchen freezer today so I could add the 5 packs of reduced pigs in blankets to there, alongside the going ood gluten free wraps (bought for DS1's gf who is not around for another week). Also had to add fish to it yesterday as DS2 is home from uni. I did remove a small amount of fruit (pears, apples and plums from the garden) and some crumble topping (I make a huge amount at a time) for a small mixed fruit crumble for tomorrow. I also removed a jam doughnut that I brought home from work the other day and fed that to DH.

    DS1 and I finished off the sweet and sour chicken from the fridge that DH made the other day alongside 1 of the 2 tubs of cooked rice. DH cooked a pizza that went ood yesterday and ate half - the other half is now in the fridge for DS1 to eat tomorrow.

    Crazy amount of veg in the fridge....

    Not sure I need to do much shopping in Jan....!!!

    Very little progress today as we were out at a family do over lunchtime and dinner was salmon that I bought yesterday, marked down. However, I've finished the two small bags of frozen berries and we had some tomatoes that needed to be eaten, half of which I fed to DH with dinner.

    I've just discovered the milk went out of date yesterday but still smells and tastes okay so I'm doing a spot of late-night yogurt making. Just waiting for the scalded milk to get to blood heat before I stir in some of the live yogurt DH bought for the curry, pop the lid on and press 'yogurt'. Magic.

    Ate the last 2 chicken goujons from the freezer for brunch, alongside some Xmas chocolate.  Very small progress! 😆

    @greent - now that is quite the concoction!

    Tonight we will be having the remaining veg from yesterday's solstice dinner along with whatever leftover sliced roasted meat/chicken I come across in the freezer.  OH will eat everything 'plain' which means his only seasonings will be salt/pepper and whatever garlic it was cooked with.  I'll be doctoring mine with my latest obsession which is chili-crisp oil and also some grated cheese on top of the veg.  I have more of an umami need than he does!

    My lunch today was beans, brown sauce and some of a bag of cheese I defrosted recently, plus a chocolate wafer biscuit. Tea was some croissants, followed by oatcakes, salad cheese and raspberry jam.

    I will not be outdone in my weird concoctions.

    DH has finished the curry from the other day which gives us a bit of fridge space - necessary as there are now two additional jars of yogurt taking up room. However, all the milk is now in date, and I bought a second bag of ultra-cheap carrots which can join the others in the shed tomorrow.
