Thanks @rtandon27 I'll give that a go while the oven is on for tea. Have eaten the next to last mince pie.2

I think this is the first time I've not had a single mince pie, even by accident. That's only because I know I have several jars of mincemeat so I won't be deprived.
I had more of the hummus for lunch but it still looks like about ten days' worth. Perhaps I need to make freezer space for some.
Dinner was the rest of the liver and bacon with onions, tinned tomatoes and baked potato or sweet potato, which we ate while watching the program on 'What not to eat'. I think everything except the bacon passed muster, and the presenter couldn't see the snacks I had at other times. I also used up the oil from some sundried tomatoes to cook the onions, which was nice as well as not wasteful. Then I discovered two more jars of sundried tomatoes. What on earth did I used to use them for? It would be handy if I could remember.
I finished up a fruit tea (cranberry and raspberry) yesterday. It's one I might buy again once there's more cupboard space. I've also tidied a small shelf in the food cupboard and threw out a manky Refresher. Space saved.
DH had his bring and share meal and brought home the last two of the cakes he made. He said they were heavy, but we don't know why: normally he bakes well. There's just one left now. The cake mountain is getting a bit smaller.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
