The tape is a great idea, I've started using the standup zip lock bags and writing on them with a marker, the tape might work better.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

I used tape today, seems great, the test will be if they stay on in the freezer :)

Lamb stock for gravy, another container gone :)

Emptying the freezer slowly. Found a packet of rump steak, bacon and 2 containers of beef stock. Made a lovely slow cooked beef pasta for dinner. Honey ham going slightly slimy, baby spinach looking a little less than fresh, cream expiry 16th April, still good = yummy Quiche.

 Used up three things from the pantry and one from the freezer.  Bought 4 potatoes only with a whole cauliflower. Wanted broccoli but too expensive so used up frozen broad beans. Can anyone tell me why I bought coconut water and what can I use it for?  DH wanted me to buy more peanut butter but we still have 1/3 of a jar. Not buying anymore backup jars . No need. We won't die without peanut butter for a day or two.

What on earth can I do with a full jar of Tahini paste in the fridge opened for months.?  Garbage pick up tomorrow and am thinking of tossing it but...........

OMG Gert, don't chuck it.  Hummus made with tin of chick peas or tin of beans.  Egg plant dip.

Ok Hummus perhaps. The jar lives another day.

No to green smoothies Judy. I like my fruit and veggies as is.

Good grief even more no idea why I bought it. Maybe I can give it to my DD.  I am not even fond of coconut. LOL!  The things we do eh? I must have seen something somewhere that made me buy it but I know not what.

No more stuff like that am I going to buy without specific instructions in hand.

I vaguely remember it may have been some obscure chicken dish I bought the coconut water for. I guess I can use it in a curry too.
