It is almost the end of August. Basically my season - foraging, harvesting, receiving unwanted apples...
I have three freezers. They are full to the brim. I really had to check several times that I can close my big chest freezer properly, it is more than full. I have this nagging feeling something is going to happen - not maybe the doom and gloom all the fearmongers are preaching, but something.
Of course it could be just as simple as several appliances breaking at the same time - my washing machine is already working overtime, electric stove is already half broken.
Btw - my pantry/larder shelves are full, too. Only thing I'm low is popcorn!
I'm using it all, food is not just sitting on shelves getting dusty. But I feel no matter what I cook I end up more stuff on the fridge! Today I tackled many many containers fo leftovers. I made pasta carbonara'ish meal few days ago. I cooked way too much spaghetti (I mean it couldn't fit to my largest pan!). I had some spicy sausages hb couldn't eat (he can't take the heat anymore), a carton of milk has best before date 17th July (it is supposed to keep few days past the bbd, but five weeks is a bit more than few days), last three eggs from a carton(bbf date 12th July). We don't eat casseroles often, os is not keen on them, and I don't want to make several dishes all the time. And some grated cheese on top of everything.
It was surprisingly good, even os ate. Hb vas at his uncle's , so I didn't have to worry he can't eat.
I use plastic containers. I'm really clumsy, I was reminded why I can't use glass containers (even if it is safer because glass don't produce micro plastics) . I dropped a BIG tub of dahl straight from the fride to the floor. And that plastic container broke. If it would have been made of glass, I would've end up with a huge mess with glass shards mixed with spicy lentil stew... Now I managed to save most of the dahl, because the container didn't shatter completely. Next day I dropped coleslaw container, it didn't broke, but a glass one would've.
That is also the reason I do not want/I can not have a ceramic stove top. I drop heavy and hard objects all the time. My cast iron stove plates can hadle that. (This is something I've lived with all my life, maybe it's somekind of ADHD trait in my AS, I try to be very alert but things happen- All. The. Time.)
It's raining. We've having all rain Ireland didn't have, all rain Spain didn't have, even all rain Luxembourg didn't have! This has been miserable summer, but I think we're got the good side of this summer this time.
