Preparing for a storm
I plan to cook up a storm this weekend. I plan to go to the markets after work, so I won't have to leave the house again until Monday! Well, except for meeting some friends on Saturday for a couple of...

Very smart indeed Lin. We have started cooking meals two to three times bigger than we need and freezing stuff too. For the weeks that I am full on and D is at work and those nights when I just can't...

I store my chocolate in the freezer... Does that count? Good on you for getting motivated, AND you'll get to eat the rewards of your work.

I might do that tomorrow. I do enjoy a cook-up. Minestrone is top of my list too. BTW I tried that Nando's morroccan curry sauce you recommended a while ago, during the week - made a chicken curry...

The only dish I managed to do yesterday was the casserole. Put it in a moderate oven for a bit over 2 hours, then just switched the oven off and left the pot in there while I went out. When I came...

I'm a fan of the big cook up. I always have a stockpile in the freezer - so much so at the moment that I don't have to cook at all for the next 2 weeks and the grocery shopping was really cheap today...

That is great advice Lani. I never thought of freezing roast meat, but might have to try that, although with D around and lunches too, I don't think it would last long enough to be frozen! The great...

a large roast works out cheaper than a mini one Ah and this is the one reason I've started freezing it I paid 50c less for a mini roast a few weeks ago than buying a 1.2kg one! This way we get 3-4...
