frozen oven chips make the best chips ever in an air fryer.

Any leftovers that we dont eat goes in the bin,,,,,,,wasteful I know but hate re-hashed food,so no good saving it as it won't get eaten.

Hope you enjoy all your dishes Sharron,,,,you've done well.

WE HAVE A WASTE FOOD BIN,EMPTIED ONCE A WEEK BY COUNCIL
OH RECONS I FILL IT UP ON MY OWN AS HE BUYS AND COOKS
HIS OWN FOOD,I HATE PLANNING DAYS AHEAD MENUS MIGHT LIKE
SOMETHING WHEN SHOPPING BUT BY EVENING I GONE RIGHT
OFF IT

Our digester cone is very hungry. It rarely gets fed.

Oh any small left overs are put out for the birds and the hedgehog so we never use out waste food box, don't even know where it is lol

I have to blow my own trumpet and say that I am good at making a meal out of odds and sods, rarely know what I will be cooking more than one day ahead, I have to go with the way I am feeling and how much effort is involved and the time scale too.

I love oven chips but we hardly have them these days, we have rice, pasta or plain boiled or jacket spuds.

Wouldn't know a turkey twizzler if it slapped me in the eye!
Have to say Sharron that all that cooking business with lentils and barley and stuff sounds a bit healthy to me, and soooo time consuming :-\ wouldn't your time and money be better spent having hair extensions and acrylic nails or summat ;-)

Seriously though...talking of leftovers, we don't throw them away in our house either, I couldn't do it, neither can I afford to !! There are a million ways to use up leftovers, the easiest being to blitz them (with a stock cube & a little water) into a healthy (ouch!!) soup.

OMG I forgot all about the acrylic nails and hair extensions!

It's got to be those square looking nails that look like a bit of acrylic stuck on your finger. Can't have them looking real.

Then there are the eyebrows to get tattooed on so I look like George Robey.

I cook,split peas,kidney beans,green and red lentils,brown rice and Quinoa, peas. and wheat pasta,butternut squash and sweet potatoes and ordinary plus some other veg,,,,,,,not ours though, plus fruity oat bakes,and filled Filo pastry bites,hard boiled egg shell and all........

,but thats the parots menu, and It looks revolting,,

We had a Moluccan cockatoo that would steal whatever we were eating.

His particular favourite was chips.

It was very unfair because I never once had a dip in his seed bowl.

Maybe this should go on the Christian thread. Dorothy Parker had a parrot.

She called it Onan because it spilled it's seeds on the ground.

We do use our food waste bin but not for left overs, for meat bones, fruit stones/pips, sometimes banana skins although mostly they go in the compost, and also sometimes for left over gravy past its sell by date.

Ann - dig your banana skins by your rose bushes (if you have any)

Do you know ripe banana skins are good for covering scuff marks on brown leather shoes if you have no shoe polish,,,,rub it over ,wait till dry and buff ,,,,,,can work on wood furniture as well.

Whoo-hoo, I've learned summat new today. Not going to buy any more shoe polish or furniture polish...banana skins R us ;-)
