Empty that bloody freezer!

So, it's that fat time of year again, and after spending 1000 euros (same as 1500 quid in the UK, thanks to rip-off prices over there, and $17.22 in the US, thanks to voodoo economics over there) on non-freezable items (why buy one bottle of champagne? Why buy one tin of sweet chestnut puree? etc, etc, etc), I and my non-partner/non-bf have decided it's time to....

EMPTY THE FREEZER!!!!

What will this fun activity mean?

Obviously, putting on enough weight to seriously de-stabalise the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. That's a given.

Not buying ANY MORE FOOD, except fresh veggies and bread. Obviously herbs (with a bloody 'H', dear USA/French readers), spices, milk and sugar are excepted, apart from chopped parsely, we dont keep that stuff in the freezer.

And most importantly... getting some new, more food to freeze.

Why bother to blog it?

Well, no reason really...we have everything from frozen lobster to those little cheesey party snacks in that freezer, legs of lamb, wild ducks, deer, sausages, leeks, cheap mince, bloody expensive mince, 45 chickens, chinese spring rolls and filo pastry... and not enough time to catalogue, let alone cook and eat the stuff. So we are gonna make a game out of it.

IF we have to have posh dinners.... so be it.
IF we are gonna have to throw a party, so be it.
IF we need a romantic dinner for 2 (or 4, or 60,) so be it.

That freezer WILL be emptied and we will NOT be throwing it's contents in the bin.

So, maybe this is just a recipe blog, or maybe I am here because I experimented on emptying the freezer by first emptying the drinks cabinet *hic*

Later
