\nCreamy Tomato Salmon Pasta<\/b> – The salmon had been in the freezer a while and tasted rather ‘fishy’. It obviously doesn’t have a long freezer life due to it’s oil content. (still working on this recipe, so will post when I’m satisfied with it)<\/p>\nOther than that it’s been left overs this week. Not terribly adventurous, I know, but the limited meat ingredients in my freezer is leaving me with very little motivation. Freezer burned chicken legs, dubious packets of stuff that could be dog meat & sausages.

Tea tonight is crumbed steak, cauliflower gratin, baked potatoes, carrots, beans and peas.<\/p>\n
I’ve had my first disaster. Defrosted a bag of what looked like dog mince and threw it into the Thermomix with some diced carrot and pumpkin to cook for Rambo’s tea and find out that it’s sausage mince. Can’t give it to Rambo and can’t use it now as it’s cooked!!!\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
