I’m having mine cold cos I honestly can’t be bothered heating it up. It’s still amazing though and the kefir has settled down the very condensed flavour of the soup.

So me and my cup of soup shall chill out and watch YouTube in bed while I take a day.

So I made a Chinese Curry Chicken, Chicken and Veg in Plum Sauce, Fried Rice, Leftover noodles from last night.

Enough meals for 10 people and cost less than a tenner. Yup life is good and you can have nice things on a budget.

It’s also honestly enough for the 3 of us for the next couple of days. There’s even leftover plain rice that wasn’t fried yet so I might freeze it ready for next time we want some fried rice.

Sure the Chinese sausage is a bit expensive, £10.99 for 12, but I only use 2 at a time and the others are frozen until needed. One pack lasts us around 6 months.

The whole thing took around 20 minutes to cook. I can’t get delivery in that time.

The Char Sui Pork was leftover from last nights dinner, the plum sauce is the last jar of last years batch, the veg were leftovers from the veg drawer from the fortnights meals.

Today for less than a tenner I have made Char Sui Pork in Plum Sauce with Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage, Bacon and Egg and it’s enough for a couple of days of meals.

Less than a fiver including cost of gas making a savings of …. £202.50 I am gob smacked!!!

It pays to put a couple of days aside and do the messy stuff.

Been here for ages just don’t do much with it yet

Oh and premade lasagne sheets because just no not today am I making fresh pasta.

These changes make it much easier a task and in a couple of months I’ll make him a proper one from scratch my way.

This 5Litre pot of sauce should make him 5 9x9 foil squares and keep him happy for a while.

A few different things I’m doing this time. Jarred sauces because I’ll be buggared if I have to stand and make cheese sauce from scratch at the moment and instead of the pot going in the oven it’s in the slow cooker.

We bought the mince last week and I hadn’t made them yet due to the flare but as it is starting to calm down enough for me to use my hand minimally I figured let’s get on with it.

This is one of the rare occasions I will use my food processor and use the smaller grating plate to prep the veg for the lasagnes Tanny has asked me to make.

So yes there will be a video and a whole big batch of these coming soon so watch this space!

We think we’ve found it now though and will be combining the pea version and parsley version together.

We also discovered that gravy just makes them glorious!!! It also makes almost a meat and 2 veg meal in a patty and you can’t be upset about that.
