or The Importance of Proper Labelling!
At the end of the summer, I froze small quantities of parsley, basil, thai basil and pesto, bunged them into 4 polythene bags & slapped appropriate labels on each - so I thought. But the labels to hand were those self-adhesive ones you use for office work......in my freezer, then, are 4 unlabelled bags + soggy labels all together at the bottom of the freezer drawer.
Now...have chosen one, but just wonder what my green lentil casserole is going to taste of ??? ::)
(am hoping for parsley...) ;D
Some call it creative cooking... 8)
much the same thing happened with my seed trays. there i was thinking permanent marker actually meant permanent ..... silly me ! by process of elimination i managed to relabel everything bar one tray, so that meant it's the Agastache ...... isn't it ???
Round two saw me putting masking tape on all the seed labels and using biro .... much the same thing happened. Now using pencil on masking taped labels.
oh well, it will be all the more exciting when i find i've got lobelia instead of carrots in my bath. ;D
So what was it Lish?
I thawed out what I assumed was tomato sauce for a lasagne I was making later that day, only to discover to late I had thawed out stewed plums! Takeaway for supper then!
It was pesto, EJ ;D
Different - but didn't stop me eating it all 8)
Couldn't you have just carried on with your lasagne - and told the family that authentic plum tomatoes
always taste like this?
;D ;D ;D
It is probably how a lot of new recipes come about. :D busy_lizzie
Yeah! Bl**dy freezer bags! Pens don't work, sticky labels don't work; what do we have to do? freeze magnetic letters into the bag with the food and hope an anagram doesn't ensue?
Is there a method that actually WORKS? :(
