And just like that it is all over, Christmas and Boxing Day all finished with for another year. I'm kind of relieved, in one way, but sorry it's over so quickly, in another. There is so much work and organisation that goes into, even a simple, Christmas. This year was quite different to our usual small family event, this year we had 20 extended family all enjoying a combined Christmas lunch. It was all divine and easy as everyone did their bit and it all came together beautifully.
We have been feasting on left overs for two nights running and there is still enough for one more dinner tonight. The ham bone, which no one else wanted, has been frozen down, to make a Pea and Ham soup for winter, everyone took home a parcel of food from Christmas Lunch and the last of the Banoffee pie I made for Christmas Eve was finished for dessert last night, so all the food has virtually been used up. Love no waste.
Now on with the frugal stuff that continues week in week out here at SHI-
1. Yesterday I made a double batch of this Tomato Relish to use up some excess tomatoes from the Vegepod
4. Made gravy with the pan juices left behind after roasting the lamb and pork for Christmas Day. I actually made this gravy on Boxing Day, as someone else had been elected to bring the (shop bought) gravy. We enjoyed this gravy with the leftovers on Wednesday and Thursday and there is still enough for tonight. Normally I make Jamie's Get Ahead Gravy which is so delicious but this one is a close second.
Over to you, how did you save money this week?
Have a lovely day,
