Some of the fragments gathered and put to use this week:
Broken crackers, dried stale bread and plain cereal crumbs were whizzed in the food processor to fill the breadcrumb jar.
Not fragments, but four kilos of mixed frozen veggies were dehydrated and then vacuum sealed. Having shelf stable food is more my focus on pantry building at the moment, especially after last week's storm that took the power out for five days in some suburbs. We have friends who lost close to $700 worth of meat, fruit and vegetables in their two freezers; I would still be crying it if had happened to us.
There was a little leftover rice and half a block of cream cheese, so they became cream cheese patties that Hannah and I enjoyed for lunch.
Dinner for Father's Day was roast lamb. Boy was it good! Enough for another roast lamb dinner is in gravy in the freezer. There is one leg of lamb left in the freezer - perhaps for our wedding anniversary dinner.
We are getting better at not having little bits of anything leftover and that's a real money saver; every cent I can not spend is better in my purse than the bin.

We have been eating from the freezer/pantry. Hot dogs, hamburgers, buns (left by family after their vacations), sausage, pesto-fresh basil from the garden share, pasta from the pantry, hash brown casserole (chopped onion from the freezer), plenty of eggs from my egg lady. We are low on fresh veg and after today, we'll start on last week's fresh veg share and a few zucchini from the garden!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the grocery store in 9 days and then it was just for a few fresh dairy items!
