I'm still finding tubs of frozen fruit in the depths of my deep freezer!! I keep trying to use up stuff I find in there but end up making stuff to put back in!! 😂 It is encouraging though when I thought last summer I wasn't growing enough to make the effort of growing it worthwhile. Just putting a wee amount in the freezer regularly adds up.
I made a batch of sheet pancakes with some mixed berries and raspberries. They were sliced into squares and frozen straightaway. They reheat beautifully in the microwave 😋
I made a huge vegetable lasagne yesterday and a game casserole today. I've started eating meat again. Only a small amount and only if I know it's ethically/sustainably sourced. Eating meat is expensive so a little every now and again should be enough to keep my diet healthy. Everything was portioned up and labelled to go in the freezer.
It's now only 1 month until my eldest son gets married 👰 I've had my outfit since last summer. I tried it on in January and it still fitted. I tried it on again last weekend to alter the length and I couldn't even get it up over my hips. Being ill and inactive for a few months has made me gain weight. I panicked, thinking I need to get a new outfit. I hadn't budgeted for it and was really grumpy about the whole thing. I ordered a new (similar) outfit in a bigger size and hung it up next to the original. Something didn't look right.
Somehow I had tried on the original outfit with part of the fixed belt at the back instead of the front. No wonder I couldn't get the blooming thing on!!! Tried it on and still fits!
D'oh!!! 🤦
You've made my day, Ali! I've done similar things and cringed afterwards at being so dopey.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one!!!
DeleteYou are not an idiot. I am delighted the original dress still fits. I have never heard of a sheet pancake but it does look yummy.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a dress ;-) Sheet pancakes are a game changer (if you like/make pancakes) It saves time if you want to make a lot for the freezer. There's a link to the recipe in the Recipe section under my blog header.
DeleteSometimes it is very easy to make a mistake trying on something. I am glad that the original outfit still fits.
ReplyDeleteYep putting little bits in the freezer does add up.
God bless.
I think it fell off the hanger and as it's quite a floaty fabric I pulled the straps/bodice through the belt the wrong way. It's given everyone quite a laugh!
DeleteI really was cheered by discovering that all the wee bits of frozen produce have added up and lasted me all Winter!
Blass you, I did laugh at the end of the story. I'm so glad it fits you.
ReplyDeleteFreezers do seem a bottomless pit at times, don't they. I have all my contents in firm bottomed bags now so I can just lift them out to look inside. Much easier than nearly falling in to get to the bottom.

I definitely need to get a better system of keeping track of what's in there. Putting stuff in bags is a great idea! xxx
DeleteThat's inspiring about the bits of produce adding up. I'm getting started to produce mainly salad veg and berries. Will grow microgreens over the winter. I don't have a big garden but it can still be productive.
ReplyDeleteGlad the original outfit fits after all!! And good for the morale that you haven't gone up a size at all! xx Morag
Very good for the morale and even better news for my bank balance!! xxx
