various meats, 1 kg of fresh fish and a tray of eggs. I then spent the afternoon on dividing it all up to last over the next two weeks. I have 17 main meals and 10 lunches where some meat is included.
Some is to be cooked in big batches - a mini roast lamb joint that our butchers sells for £2.90 and will last at least two main meals. Sometimes a bit also left for a lunch.
I also got a pack of shin of beef. Stewed in the slow cooker with beans it makes lovely meals for 2 days. I try to be good and restrict the addition of dumplings to just one day. But its cold and I could weaken and have more. Weight loss will have to wait a bit longer.
The rest was all weighed into 200grm portions which is our shared protein for our main meal.
A bucket of fresh vegetable collected from the veg patch will help the week's meals.
Some weeks ago I was reading a blog of someone who used up odd shampoos for other cleaning. Having got annoyed with how poor my supermarket own brand shampoo was I thought I'd use the rubbish up on cleaning up the stove top. Great results!
I'm going to have a use it up couple of months after Christmas. I have do many little bottles of bits I've collected on my travels. The veg looks lovely so does the cooker top!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of small shampoo bottles and small lotion bottles, I am going to have to use them up very soon. Wow, the shampoo sure cleaned your stove!!
