Thanks JD
I've put them in the freezer anyway, it will be a learning experience. 

 I freeze cream cheese to use in sauces etc, but the consistency can go a bit wonky. if it does split, Boursin melted into a well-seasoned/herby passata makes a great sauce for a pasta bake. You can use up all the fridge gravel in that too.

The pork was aparently best for pulled pork, so done a slow cooker pulled pork that did not require tomato/ bbq sauce. Amazing!

Adding to the what freezes well discussion from earlier this week: took out some creme fraiche had leftover last month, completely split upon defrosting. A very brave taste test later and added it to veg mash instead of milk. Glad i had a try at freezing it, not binning it.

Back to using up whats in the freezers and reducing waste here too.;
out of freezer today is a leg of lamb - half of this will be refrozen once cooked, 
going in will be scooped portions of mashed turnip and mashed potatoes on a tray then popped into a bag when frozen fully. have been doing this for a wee while now, cooking extra then freezing some which will hopefully reduce the electricity - just as easy to boil a big pan of veg once rather than 2 lots.
