Hello!
I didn’t get around to sorting new photos – so its only a bit of a dash by from me tonight.
Yesterday I caught a cold. So annoying.
I was fine all day – was clearing space in the freezers, made some raspberry jam, went to visit Ruby (eep – bit worried about that) Got some of my bricabrac out of her shed, came home then noticed a sore throat (I just thought it was shed dust) – then got sniffly! Just like that!
Its been raining all day.
I went to my cousins this morning to pack and collect 1/4 cow for the freezer.
16kgs of mince and lots of beautiful steaks – we’re going to be eating grand for a while!
Came home and put on a slow cooked beef casserole – one of those meals where you just make it up as you go along – not to mention throwing various things in it out of the freezer when you are desperate for space!
I seem to have done a lot of dishes today. On the upside? No cooking for a few nights as there are plenty of leftovers.
Anyway – I think tomorrow I have to make more jam and sauce – part of my freezer clean out.
Honestly – there was 20 litres of plum pulp!!! I gave some to Margie… so now I am down to 16 litres haha.
I. Am. Banned. From. The. Supermarket.
Ok – I might need more sugar and vinegar for cooking and maybe some milk, but we NEED to live out of what we have for a good long while!
Hope your day was awesome!
Cheers
OK, for this American, what is mince? Understand it is beef, but a special cut? Special spicing?
lol – I forgot to translate that one! Mince is simply ground beef! I’ll make it much more exciting when making up rissoles (hamburger patties) by adding all my special ‘stuff’
Good luck with eating out of the freezer- I really need to do that too.
Its too easy just to go buy what you are in the mood for – or when you forget to defrost something. I don’t like forcing meat into defrosting. I usually muff it up. But I am pretty determined to have the bulk of our dinners from the freezer for a good long while.
