Meatballs, potato croquettes and tomatoes... Tonights nosh.  Tomorrow might be burgers, fish, bacon and spaghetti.  Dont you just love running down the contents of the freezer to do a complete defrost and clean?

  Yes, but I don't love the defrost and cleaning part. Especially when it comes to the chest freezer!

Glad we're not defrosting ours, it's full of body parts!

I hope you mean the gruesome ones for Halloween, from Marks & Spencer ?

It's amazing what great meals you can make from fridge or freezer leftovers. Hate to waste anything. Worst bit of defrosting a front door opening freezer is the PUDDLES. Our greyhound loves the puddles but the carpet is not impressed.

Don't tell me. You're the main supplier to the TV series "Silent Witness"

Well now, I usually have a large ziplock bag in the freezer.  When I come to the near end of a bag of frozen veggies I tip them into the ziplock.  I use a lot of veggies so it doesn't take too long to collect quite a good haul.  That then gets used, generally with some chicken pieces, to make what I call Hobbit Soup.  If you are familiar with the JRRT books you will know that some of the little critters with the hairy toes lived in a place called Bag End.  Seems quite an appropriate name for the soup.

D. I. Taggart. Come quickly! There's been a mordor

 

Actually, on a serious note, stuff in freezers does not last indefinitely.

I found three meat trays I won at the bowlo raffle 4 years ago which I'd forgotten about, and you wouldn't feed them to your doggy.
