Cooking Fresh Food - breaking the jar/can/bottle habit...

Sorry LMS, but your post was funny....

carcinogens are back on the menu until this pregnancy is over

It all made perfect sense to me, don't worry about that.


carcinogens....

I know that's not really funny, but ya gotta laugh at something!

Oh yeah, what's the mince wellington Cai?

Hmmm what did I make prior to getting to tired? My own pasta, bread, sauces, the whole lot really. I was doing really well when I got going. I am still making my own pasta (tomato) sauce but not the pasta, I have started buying some of my bread but still make my own french baguettes to make garlic bread. We bought heaps of pasta packets and 2 minute noodles and frozen chips, packaged soups etc just to make some quick convenience dinners. I will still make my own nuggets and schnitzels because that isn't too hard to whip up. I just wish I had made a bunch to freeze before I wore myself out. I stocked up on tomatoes in tins so I might make a big batch of pasta sauce and one of chilli, easy enough to pop in the slow cooker then package to freeze.

Glad you liked the carcinogens comment Netix. They taste oh so good but I have had a comeback of headaches and funnily enough Noah started throwing more tanties.

How long does home-made mayonnaise keep?

[Sair]

I would say as long as the egg is meant to last :s I know the mayo I buy only lasts a few months which is short term for a store bought item.

Am loving this thread. My DP and I were talking about this not too long ago, and both saying that we need to make more effort in the kitchen. Will contribute with more posts when I can

yes please cai,

katie rabbit great recipe thanks!!

[Netix]

Thanks, , a jar of the store bought stuff only lasts me a couple of weeks (maybe three?) because we just use so much of it. Economics wise, store bought is probably cheaper though. Hopefully not, and I can work it out!

I promise I'll post the wellington recipe soon! I thought I already did but I must have been dreaming LOL!
