I like to make veggie soup with whatever we have and mash it. Tonight's has onion, parsnip, potato, sweet potato, swede, celeriac, carrot, brocolli and peas. A few slices of a spelt boule and a bottle of red. I did have a squash but couldn't be bothered to peel it.
If you know how to mix flavours, then improvisation nearly always works, I reckon. In our gaff we regularly have everything-in-the-cupboard pie, and freezer-remains curry about twice a month.
After Xmas I was banned from eating my lunch in our office at work. I don't know what's so antisocial about sprout, leek, broad bean, kale & lentil soup, but apparently it is 'offensive'.
Can't be as offensive as the person where I used to work who used to microwave an identical packet curry 5 days a week
Last night I fried some onion and blended some fresh and sundried tomatoes and chilli pesto all of which were hanging about in the fridge. It made a lush pasta sauce.
I find chopped up sprouts can be bunged into most things.
Hmm. Memory problems are an issue. I normally end up scribbling some illegible notes on a random scrap of paper that inevitably gets gunked up in gawdknowswhat in the kitchen, leading to its swift passage to the recycling bin.
On the positive side, it's always a learning experience when you attempt to recreate it at a later date, and realise that you've left out the cumin/ginger/chickpeas and maybeitcoulddowithturningintoalasagne?
We have an old iPad in our kitchen in a waterproof case, connected to some recipe software, so we can read / create new recipes and add them to our database

Also sometimes after that I end up with a coffee and then happen upon a few biscuits and that can be very good too.

the best place to put chopped up sprouts is in the food bin.....
The problem with mixing up a random meal...is that it was be so amazing but you forget how you did it and cant recreate it...

Wut? One of them vintage, retro ones?
The only tablets we have in our house have a prescription attached to 'em.
Ah, but surely the fun is that it might be unique - you may never have the same ingredients in the same quantities ever again!
This is the correct way to use an iPad in the kitchen. You don't need to understand German.
I do occasionally get forgetful when I'm on autopilot - it could be that I do that with mine one day.
