I am banjaxed - but happy!
That nice Mr Sainsbury delivered half a ton - well, a lot anyway - of beautiful fresh vegs yestermorn - and I had done a raid on the butchers later in the day. Which means - I have spent today - all day - apart from a couple tea breaks - playing in the kitchen!Have made:-
3 x portions of Hunters Chicken.
1 x Chicken/mushroom casserole
3 x portions of Chilli Con Carne.
3 x portions of Spaghetti Bolognese
8 x Beef and Sweet Pepper burgers
12 x Venison and garlic sausages
1 x Gallon Leek and Potato (and garlic) soup.
Have blanched, vacuum packed and frozen:-
1 x kilo Carrots
2 x kilos Broccoli
1 x extremely large Cauliflower
2 x kilos Mushrooms
6 x Capsicums
4 x Sweet Peppers
2 x kilos Courgettes
1 x kilo sliced onions
Cooked a Gammon joint - sliced and vacuum packed about half of it - kept the rest in the refrigerator for salads/sandwiches etc.,
God bless whoever invented the home Vacuum Packing machine - it means things can be kept for longer - no risk of freezer burn - and the pouches take up less space than containers.
Going to have a very large Gin and Tonic - might have a early night and listen to Martin Shaw reading 'The Hobbit'.
OOooh - might need a cold shower to go with that!

Wow you have been busy Tabs! I think you need to make yourself a Congratulations card now
.My vacuum packer gave up the ghost recently. I must get round to replacing it, really miss it. Do you vac pack veggies in small, usable portions, or one big bag, which you cut open to use and then re vac pack what's left? I've often wondered if that would work...
plenty there when we all turn up for lunch |
