Used up a bunch of stuff in the fridge that would have been thrown out otherwise to make a big old stir-fry: leftover Thai curry with chicken and vegetables, some brown rice, some use-it-or-lose-it broccoli, random spices and flavorings and broth mixed with cornstarch, an egg. Total yum-fest.
The only down-side is that I can never make that EXACT concoction again! :)
Kinda sad when you make something delicious and can't ever replicate it, isn't it!
Ok, as posted in another thread, I used a bunch of my Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum points at a "Spend Your Points" event on the weekend, and what I bought with them was food, food, food!
I was aiming to reduce future grocery bills as much as possible, so I bought things like frozen vegetables, and canned fruit, pasta and sauce, shelf stable milk (almond, soy, etc), nuts and dried fruit, granola bars, peanut butter, etc. And yes, more packages of rice! (I know, I know!) For the next couple of months, I should really need very little other than occasional purchases of "real" milk to supplement the alternative milks, and a bit of fresh produce to supplement the frozen and canned fruit and veg. Hopefully I can stay out of the grocery store to a large degree.
So, although my fridge, freezer and cupboards are again overflowing, I am still in this thread, and still particularly committed to trying to use up some of those odds and ends that otherwise would languish in the cupboard for months/years!
