Clearing out the fridge

Scratching around, trying to make a meal.
I haven't managed to fit in a shop this week.

In the fridge I had a boned chicken thigh, 2 slices each of salami and chorizo, a handful of grated cheese and half a tub of thick cream, not much to feed the two of us.

I also had plenty of potatoes and other vegetables.

I sliced all the meat up and cooked it on a low heat.

I buttered a dish, half filled it with thinly sliced potatoes then put the cooked meat on top.

I mixed the cream with some hot water and poured it into the dish.

I added another layer of sliced potatoes and topped the dish up with the cream/water mix and sprinkled on the grated cheese.

It took about an hour to cook, I served it with brussels and courgette.

It does sound delicious....I usually try to have eggs on hand because that alone would satisfy me, but your meal sounds much better!

Put together meals are fab. Unfortunately when you create a nice one, it’s hard to replicate.

I've done the same sort of thing this week and certainly haven't gone hungry. But I will hit the shops today for a few things as I need both fruit, veg and dairy. Hope you have a good week.

There's something very satisfying about taking what at first seem like random little bits and bobs and turning them into a very tasty and nicely filling meal isn't there. This sounds like an excellent way to empty the fridge. I hope CHS approved :-)

I am fairly new to your blog. CHS is your husband,I assume. What does CHS stand for? DD is something about daughters? I do find the abbreviations hard to understand. Your husband has had a stroke? I do feel for you as a carer, and wish you the very best.

It's not a secret.

Y'day while Steve was out with his friend Bob, Betty phoned and asked if I'd like to go and get the cheap vegetables from the nearby...
