Sacha - i think i will do the freeze and hold off for a while, otherwise they will just go to waste. I originally asked for the processer with Tom in mind and then realised i probably wouldnt need it for too much longer, but in our new house we have a great kitchen so i am being much more creative with my cooking so will be able to use it more than i thought. I also asked for a stainless steel rubbish bin - my presents will be super exciting this year!!
