Hiding from twats

I just made a huge vegan cottage pie. The plan was to freeze 1/2 of it. Unfortunately I have a teenage boy, so I might have one portion left if I'm lucky by the time he's finished.

I do it monthly, a batch of curry sauce, spaghetti sauce, pie fillings, chilli con carne, and meat stew.

Makes dinner selection easy, saves loads of money, and time during the week.

I have to batch cook, I living on your own and recipes are for 4 or more...

Took dinner out of the freezer this morning, I think its chicken curry, ready meal surprise!

Its cost effective and so easy to do, no idea why more people don't do it, even if you have one portion left freeze it instead of throw it away

I have a monthly batch cooking day. a couple of bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon, some chill out sounds and I'm in my element. Sometimes I get a bit carried away and do too much, think I need a bigger freezer

I am now a single bloke and batch cooking to load the freezer in my motorvan. When my wife died I found how much I had learned from watching her.

I sometimes grate chorizo or salami into my corned beef hash if I'm improvising, and occasionally chop up a jalapeño finely to give it a bit of oooomph.

Do this occasionally. Last effort was Chicken Stir Fry. Best chicken breasts, chopped in a woc, microwave and add chopped peppers of all colours, add frozen peas and sweetcorn, microwave Uncle Bens rice (any flavour you like) and finally add a Chinese sauce such as Oyster and Spring Onion. Airtight boxes for the surplus, Wish I had a bigger freezer.

Well being as I live in the City centre I doubt it, but I used to live out in the sticks and even had an orchard at the top of ma garden

Mine is like a stew style, potato carrot onion in water with red and brown sauce added once veg is soft, at the last minute add diced corned beef, a tin of beans and serve with brown sauce, bread and butter. Mmmmm
