OK, competition time, can anyone think of a recipe I can make from the contents of my fridge which are:
2 sweet potato
carton of single cream
Tagliatelle
4 carrots
1 egg (out of date)
Bottle of Gordons Gin
Carton of Cranberry Juice
Bottle of Jack Daniels
Carton of fromage frais (out of date)
Carton of natural cottage cheese (out of date)
Tub of yoghurt (best before February)
Kale (going brown, well out of date)
4 onions
6 peppers
pack of birdseys chillies
carton of milk
Mozzarella
Sandwich pickle (about a spoons worth)
Feta
Halumi
Garlic
Ginger
2 sweet potato
carton of single cream
Tagliatelle
4 carrots
1 egg (out of date)
Bottle of Gordons Gin
Carton of Cranberry Juice
Bottle of Jack Daniels
Carton of fromage frais (out of date)
Carton of natural cottage cheese (out of date)
Tub of yoghurt (best before February)
Kale (going brown, well out of date)
4 onions
6 peppers
pack of birdseys chillies
carton of milk
Mozzarella
Sandwich pickle (about a spoons worth)
Feta
Halumi
Garlic
Ginger
Some potato wedges out of the sweet potatoes - chunk, drizzle in olive oil, salt & pepper and maybe some powedered chilli if you have it.. roast in the oven till soft..
Slice the onion, pepper and add some crushed garlic - roast these till soft then bung a few slices of halloumi or mozarella on top, and shove back into the oven or under the grill until the cheese has melted and is turning slightly brown.
Or you can slice the cheese, dip into a beaten egg, then some flour and quickly deep fry...

That sounds good, but I'll have to go shopping to buy the flour.
And I HATE shopping
Unless Paula is on the check-out. And she's a complete fruit cake, last time I saw her she was telling me how she was going to take over the world by breading cats. No I don't understand either!

During the week I normally do pasta with ready made sauce, pizza or some fish. The odd tuna mayo and cheese toasty if Im not that hungry.
Tend to try and cook a bit more at the weekend when I have more time as I enjoy it. Have recently started making soups and they are so easy. Can make a massive pan of Leek and Potato in about 25-30 mins and 20 mins of that is it simmering on the hob whilst I watch TV![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)
Sometimes I cook a massive chilli for work and microwave it at work. Only prob is living on chilli for a week creates quite a bit of flatulence![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Alternatively the Tesco online shopping thing gets delivered to your door, without all the trolley-pushing drudgery

But that maybe where she is going wrong. Maybe she should start dipping everything in breadcrumbs
