Funnily enough I just ordered some hello fresh boxes, got an offer sent to me so have 6 meals on the way for a fiver.

We started off with a similar deal, but once it was full price it was too expensive compared to just buying the ingredients from Aldi. Recipes and food are great though .

Yeah, I plan on canceling the subscription. Not paying full whack for it. I'm essentially paying £4.99 primarily to not think of what to cook for me tea. that and because it's 6 meals for a fiver!

Not even December but already starting to make bits and bobs for Xmas dinner.

Soon won't be able to buy cherries so roasting some off in sugar, salt and oil so I can blitz them down now, freeze them until needed to make a roasted cherry soup.

Have nuts and dried fruit soaking in booze so I can make sort of "mince pies".

Spiced plum gin is brewing and ready in a month.

I got ridiculed last year because I made my gravy in advance and froze it. I'd roasted off a bunch of chicken wings for something else and was left over with lots of stock that I didn't know what to do with. I had the last laugh as the gravy was f***ing amazing.

Prep for Mother's Day kicked off. Making a traditional Portuguese dish of pork and clams so need to mascerate the red peppers with salt for 12 hours before roasting, peeling and blitzing as the marinade for the pork for 24 hours.

Sounds like a lot of work but essentially about 20 mins of actual cooking all in - just a waiting game - and the end result is really tasty.

MiniOT makes breakfast (took a few years to get her to prefect a hollandaise sauce), I cook lunch and we both chip in for flowers.
