The problem with pre-holiday food

Okay, we all know what its like. If you're going on holiday in the next few days, you really don't want to be buying food that may get chucked away because you haven't had chance to eat it before you leave. Therefore it seems sensible to use up food you already have in your fridge / freezer / cupboards. Unfortunately this can only mean one thing, bizarre cobbled together dinners. It's fairly safe for Hubby and N as there is always something in the freezer thats edible, but its normally covered in breadcrumbs, batter or pastry so that rules it out for moi.

For example my dinner this evening consisted of;
  • gluten free pasta twirls
  • half a tin of plum tomatoes
  • quarter of a tin of peach slices
  • a handful of frozen peas
all chucked together in a frying pan and mixed together. There is only one thing more frightening than that and its the thought of what I am going to cook myself tomorrow night. (I'm guessing something that involves the rest of the peaches and plum tomatoes).

  1. lol. Sometimes all that's left in our fridge is a tub of marg, a sad limp lettuce and a seen-better-days aubergine. Those are difficult dinner days.

    Hope you have a nice time away.
