Complain and I will tip it over your head


Complain and I tip it over your head

 

 

 

Grumpy was warned “Complain and I tip it over your head.”

 

I made Chicken Chasseur a few weeks ago on a cook up on my day off from work, vacuum sealed it and froze it for dinner for another night.

 

I took the plastic bag out of  the freezer this morning and left it in the fridge to defrost during the day.

 

When we got home Grumpy asked what were we having for tea, I told him chicken chasseur and he asked what are we having with it, Rice or mash and vegies, I said it was up to him.

 

He chose rice. Much to his chagrin I cooked the rice in the Thermomix. He asked was I going to get rid of the rice cooker and I said yes.

I was absolutely gobsmacked, he ate the whole lot and didn’t complain, so it can’t have been that bad,  I enjoyed it and even saved some for lunch tomorrow.

 

The whole meal was cooked in the Thermomix.

I am going to make fruity berry dream for dessert,

Frozen berries, sugar and 1 egg white blended to make a berry dessert like ice cream

Vacuum seal your meals for another day


I had my big cookup and I am buggered.

I cooked everything that I was going to and my Thermomix got a good workout.

I save lots of space in the freezer by vacuum sealing my food before freezing it.

To put the food in the bags to vacuum is a pain, so I found a jug that will fit my bags in, but it had handles, I asked Grumpy to cut them off for me and then it was perfect.

I have written the name of the food on the bags, put the bags into the jug, ready to put the food in
