Mush!

Other people's freezers also need things using up. 
Yesterday I was cooking for someone who needed a very soft meal as their 'bottom set' was at the dentist (without them) for an addition.

I got out some cooked mince, added tomatoes (from their garden) also frozen plus some tomato puree and some water as it was quite thick, thawed it all in the microwave and then bunged it in the oven for three more hours of slow cooking to really soften it before giving a few zizzes with a stick blender so it still had texture but didn't need chewing.

Served with orzo with grated cheese on top and some carrots cooked for longer than usual so they were soft rather than al dente, it made a really delicious, easily eaten meal that really hit the spot flavour-wise.  AND it used up stuff from their freezer.

I will remember that one as the resulting mince mixture would have been ideal for lasagne or cannelloni!

I should be back on my own freezer challenge on Sunday, all being well.
