Eating down the fridge

It’s that time of year where the remains of the Christmas feasts need to be eaten before they go off. I can’t bear food waste, and the freezer is still full, so imaginative and slightly unusual meals are being prepared with glorious abandon.

We used up half a pot of sour cream, a slightly soft avocado and a couple of ends of cheese that needed grating and melting to be delicious again in a huevos rancheros breakfast this morning.

I even found a pot of spicy Chica salsa in the pantry, so that was a win, although technically that had no chance of going off.

Later today I shall strip the turkey and we shall make turkey leek and mushroom pie and a large pot of turkey stock for soup and Hughs famous chicken rice (made with currants and pine nuts, it’s delicious comfort food).

And although this has never yet happened, should there be any panettone left over at the beginning of next week I’ve got a bread and butter pudding lined up.

My favourite food time of the year!
