Low budget months sometimes sound a bit dreary but not here at Frugal Follies! My freezer has lots of lovely stuff in it which I've cooked but not got around to eating.
I started off with a free breakfast. Last week my friend Sarah gave me a huge tub of yoghurt. It's my favourite sort (Lidl, Greek) but she doesn't like it so I relieved her of it. Last month I relieved some friends of the embarrassment of damsons which they had. I cooked and pureed them (the damsons, not the friends, silly) and froze them in small quantities so I had a portion of yoghurt and a portion of damsons for brekkie. Very nice.
Lunch was simple: a chopped salad of celery, cucumber, tomatoes, onion and pepper with sardines. Tins of sardines are only 34p at Lidl so for a portion of oily fish it's a bargain.
A friend delivered a salmon (which I paid for last week): a bargain at £10. I made ten fillets which have gone in the freezer and I made pate with the trimmings. That went down a treat with oatcakes.
The first few days of a challenge like this are never difficult. I think the only thing I might get very short of is salad vegetables. This will take some planning.
MMmmm, pureed friends and yogurt. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too. But the friends were less than enthusiastic.
DeleteI'd certainly like to freeze some friends in small quantities and only get them out to defrost when I thought it was absolutely necessary.....but then again maybe not. 🤣🤣🤣 I do love pureed fruit with greek yoghurt.
ReplyDeleteThetrouble is, they may want to do the same thing.
