The Weekly Friday Feast

That's what I used to do too @Former-Member Split peas, lentils, rice, barley & various combinations with vegies...

I used to buy those dried soup mix packs, dried lentils, soyabeans & split peas etc.

I would soak them, then cook them up, & freeze the mixes in small portions.

Good idea @Former-Member I used to do that a lot. Partly laziness and partly limited facilities in my wee cabin stops me from doing that regularly these days. But when I cook for me, bro and sil (4 x a fortnight) I try to make sure there are 'tovers for another day or the freezer. Last night was a big green veg curry with homegrown pumpkin and basil and vietnamese mint from the garden with other veg and curry paste and coconut milk - have enough 'tovers for 2 days.

Wow @eth A Gourmet Chef, very varied & versatile in cooking...

I've very often had to to cook meat dishes for people, whilst being vegetarian myself (over the past 29 years).

It's okay, I don't mind - except that when with groups of people, often no allowance was made for my being vegetarian.

I was expected to have a bread roll with nothing on it (on many occasions)....

I usually cook twice a week - each time four portions - eat one, freeze three. I usually have some supermarket frozen meals in the freezer too just in case. Sometimes dinner is a tin of tuna and salad.

I have the both kids over for a meal on the weekend - I might cook or we'll eat out. Then my daughter who lives nearby usually pops over mid week as well.

Quick fly-by everyone .... 👋 .... bit tired tonight ...... been busy drawing ..... 👍

We had Pumpkin and Lentil Soup for dinner ..... followed up with some almonds .... and a Jasmine Green Tea.
