Tonight DS has asked for spaghetti bol, DH & I are having spinach & ricotta caneloni from the freezer, serves 4, so lunch tomorrow too.  A meal i made a while back. Determined to get the freezer down and eatup left overs. Will be over pasta for a few days after that.

For lunch I had a small serve of alvins thai green chciken curry, from the freezer.

Money spent today ZERO.

Easy to say Hally "don't cook".  We cannot move in our house since I returned from these conferences.  The fridge and freezer are bursting.  And as I live like a German, there is NO room for another fridge or freezer in the garage because we do not have one!  There is only so much I can eat.  Maybe we need a lodger? Or a family of lodgers? I am quite particular about my dogs diet so I cannot give delicious Thermotreats to them as they are tiny little pomeranians. And don't get me started on cooking their food too.  I have tried that and I almost had a breakdown (granted, it was before Thermie came into my life).

I can just see it now, a new forum for totally addicted Thermomixers that CANNOT stop cooking. Evidently, it is like any other addiction.   I wonder what the 10 step Thermoaddiction might look like.... Here is my slant on step one (stolen off the AA website).

1. We admitted we were powerless over Thermomix—that our lives had become unmanageable because we cannot see the light in our refrigerators because we have so many little containers of delicious treats that we simply cannot part with....

PS I am not and would not ever make fun of anyone with a serious addiction so please take my comment in the spirit in which it is intended - pure fun!

I did Lee & found it hilarious. Nice start to the day.

When I get a build up of meals and baked goods I tend to use my thermomix to make other things like jams, stock pastes, cordial, chocolate topping etc.  I still get to use my thermie, but don't end up with an excess of bulky items in the freezer or left-overs in the fridge.

I need to know how to stock my freezer with ready made things, we never have leftovers or enough to freeze for another meal.  I keep meaning to have a day of cooking for the freezer but it never happens.  I have three hungry kids plus one hungry husband.

I would start with sauces Napolitana, Bolognese then soups

If I wanted to do some meals especially for the freezer medusa, here are some recipes that freeze really well.
Chelsea's Tuna Strudel
Chelsea's Chicken Kiev
JulieO's Beef Enchiladas
Chookie's My favourite Quiche

You can freeze just about anything - lasagne, curries, stews and those Fundj suggested.

medusa
Try the honey & soy chicken ,makes heaps and  freeze really well.

[Halex]

I always have bolognaise sauce in the freezer ready to go for lasagnas etc.
Curries freeze well.
make 2 batches at a time 1 to eat now & 1 to freeze.
Mind you I freeze anything near enough.
