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!!! 🤦
My friends all think I'm an idiot!! Lol!
ReplyDeleteYou'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
