1. I booked two days of work; one next week and one the week after.
2. Found some Italian sausage in the freezer that was looking a little iced over. Moved it to the fridge to thaw, and will use it in tomorrow's pasta instead of purchasing ground beef.
3. Reading a library ebook.
4. Adjusted soup recipe to include the remainder of portabello mushrooms that needed using before they shriveled up.
5. Cold and wet weather makes staying home with a cup of hot chocolate and soup in the slow cooker a luxury not to be taken for granted.

(*not-frugal takeout or dinner out)
I cleared out the freezer this week to make room for Christmas desserts. I found a pack of Toulouse sausages so like you I made a tomato and onion based pasta sauce. I skinned the sausages and pinched off bits of the sausage eat to fry then cooked in the sauce. It is all ready in the fridge for supper tonight which means I can go out Christmas shopping and not have to cook supper afterwards.
ReplyDeleteIt is wet and windy but not too cold here in the UK. Not very seasonal weather. I much prefer a cold crisp day.
That’s exactly how I prepared it too. We just finished supper, and it got thumbs up from the guys.
