I have been banned from cooking this week!!!

[tarosuma]

That makes 2 of us!  I haven't been banned from cooking as such but I am on a mission to empty my freezer too!  And I am determined to make sure I label things properly when I start filling it again too!  It is a lucky dip at the moment with what it turns out to be when defrosted!

I know i have been bad at labelling, dh fault he took the labels.

Tonight we have chicken & veg soup, spag bol & i think a curry.LOL

Oh Hally, you need more kids lol. 
I just don't have left overs here. Nothing ever makes it to the freezer.
Its school holidays here at the moment and I'm having a break from cooking as the kids don't need stuff for school lunches. Its nice not to be on my feet so much cooking and catch up with some other stuff around the house. Although I just whipped up some ice cream, a baked cheese cake and some banana choc chop muffins. (I just cant help my self to make something lol)

Good luck with the Root Canal. MY DS came off his scooter 5 years ago when he was 9 and broke his 2 front adult teeth and had to have a root canal on one of them. He was really good and it didn't seem to worry him at all. Hopefully yours will be as easy.

[Halex]

Yes i need more kids, we have a lot over all th tome but still too much food in the house.
I have 1 hour before pick up, normally would be doing something in the kitchen.

Its bizarre i have nothing to do.......
Tomorrow am going to plan my day better.

I have savoury and sweet muffins in the freezer, so nothing to cook.

It will be nice seeing the freezer empty, which of course then produces another problem, the cotainers wont fit in the cupboards!!LOL then dh will moan there is no room there as well, but then i will be able to go. "da da look at all the room in the freezers" LOL

Oh the joys of life in the kitchen....

i wish i had a freezer full of left overs and was banned from cooking lol!  as much as i love my tm, sometimes i dont feel like cooking at all!  enjoy your time off hally, then you can work really hard again to fill up your freezer once its empty!

[Halex]

Em, i would gladly give you some left overs if you lived close., orvwhip somethng up for you

Sitting down watching the bold and the beautiful, thats a first, sometimes the tv is on but i am cooking!

Then i am going to have a long bath & dh can reheat our meals, trying to mae it hard fir him!!!LOL

H, not quite what to do with myself

[Vivaroo]

Spare time?  Start a book club?  I've been neglecting my books since getting Thermie. 

I'm trying to stop shopping & make do with what I have, can relate to the lack of space!  Lucky you to have so much prepared food    As I'm so new to this I'm still using bought stuff before I make everything I can.

[Halex]

Ha Ha, Backfired.... Dh wanted seconds...

I cant stop laughing, he is thinkng a bit if cooking and some left overs might work.

  So is the ban off again   

[faffa_70]

HHHAAAALLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY  if the ban is still in place, I believe that I only live hmm about 20 minutes down the road from you 

I am already having withdrawals as DH is taking the TMX to work with him tomorrow 

Bring yours to my place and we can cook!!! Never have a shortage of food here lol 

[Halex]

JD the ban is on today by my choice and tomorrow, will see how I feel friday.

It would be good to get the freezer right down, i think i am going to have to do some digging in all 3 freezers, i am sure there are items in there to be thrown out too.

My prpblem is I cook a meal that feeds 4-6, then i whip up an extra one for the freezer, so i should stop cooking the extra meal too, that will help with the freezer problem.

Faffa why is dh taking tm to work?

I am happy to cook with you whenever you want, just love to cook with friends it is such fun.

Well freezer drawers in kitchen cleaned out. Now have 50% space, yay.

Anything that had no label and i coudnt identify got thrown.  Found some interesting items pre TM days.  Frozen scones from bakers delight, sliced bread (quite a few bags) with about 3 slices in each bag, spring rolls dated feb this year, some small zip lock packs of left over sauces/ gravies from slow cooker days. Very interesting and all binned! Yay Happy Hally

Found some cream dated end of April, not sure if that shoukd be binned. It was the expensive brand in the squidgy pack with the cute cow  on the front. Ok to use or bin???

Next week freezer 2 & 3.

Hally

[judydawn]

Well done Hally, it certainly pays to give the freezer a good clean out occasionally.  Did you do an inventory so you now know what is in there.  50% more space, unbelievable - don't tell DH it all ended up in the bin, let him think it was good organising that gained you the extra space.  The cream would probably be OK but seeing as you are in that sort of mood, I'd put it with the rest of the unwanted items 

[Halex]

I know 50% more space, but i am still going to be good and not add too much too it, apart from my  7kg of meat i have on order but it was free range and a good deal. I just cant help myself.

I found the scones interesting, never would buy anything like that again and obviously were not that good as left there. Good on you TM you are so much better than they are.

Yes will throw the cream.

Busy day otherwise i would do other freezers.

No i didn't write an inventory, i will for the other 2, this freezer is meant to be my daily working one, so it should turn around quickly.

Of course i wont tell DH, just Let him know That we are using up Left overs.

Oh Hally you are doing so well. We have one up right freezer inside and one massive freezer in garage which I need to clean out ready for half a beast and a couple of sheep to go in soon.
