More batch meals made last week to pop in the freezer. This time it was Salmon, Pasta and Broccoli Bake. I used two tins of Aldi salmon, value range penne pasta, a head of broccoli plus white sauce made from powdered milk and cornflour. I made sure to make plenty of white sauce because last time I made it the portions ended up a bit dry when reheated. It was topped with grated cheese and home made dried breadcrumbs.
6 portions made - 1 to eat and 5 in the freezer and now I've no more freezer storage boxes with lids that fit them!. The total cost was around about £4.
The first piece of news on the BBC News at One yesterday was about that awful Ipswich man who killed five women in 2002. He has at last admitted to kidnapping and killing a young school girl several years earlier. A case that has been unsolved all this time. How cruel that he has waited so long to own up.
I have some salmon in the back of the freezer which needs using up, thank you for reminding me. That was a good job done, making yours into ready-meals. I am right off cooking main meals since I was poorly.
ReplyDeleteI saw that about the chap who admitted killing the young schoolgirl. Didn't know he was an Ipswich man. Her poor family.
Both stories were terrible news for a long time in Suffolk. They are now wondering if unsolved murders in Norfolk could be connected
DeleteThe unspeakable acts some people carry out must surely be made far worse for the poor families who don't know who killed their loved one or in some cases where they are. Cruelty beyond comprehension. It takes a determined effort sometimes to remember that the majority of people are decent.

Thankfully it's true that most people are good, just getting on with their lives. But what horrors one man can cause
DeleteI have enjoyed Jamie's £5 meals programmes, but your ideas are equally thrifty and tasty
ReplyDeleteBatch making works well for me - makes more time for reading!
DeleteYour salmon, pasta broccoli bake looks very appetising.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good, a regular batch bake
DeleteA very thrifty baking session and sounds very tasty. Yes, that Ipswich man, thank goodness there at least will be some closure for the family of that dear girl, cold comfort though.

I need more freezer boxes as I've no pasta sauces in the freezer
DeletePoor families…goodness only knows what that man’s family feel…the meals should come in handy for February reading days! X
ReplyDeleteHe was one nasty person . Did he do the same in Norfolk years before - that's what they are asking
DeleteI love to pull meals from the freezer for dinner. You are so good at batch cooking. Ours are usually leftovers… but wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat sad cruelty from one person on so many families. DL
I rarely have leftovers - I'm used to cooking for one after 8 years!
DeleteYou do a good job of stretching your money, Sue.
ReplyDeleteEvery little helps!

ReplyDeleteHi! Good to hear from you. Not a big You tube watcher but I'll have a look
DeleteI hope the family of the young girl he finally admitted to killing gets some closure. Some people are so very cruel.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It's a horrible story of a really nasty person
DeleteYour salmon looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad about all those women. Wouldn't you think after the first offense he should have been jailed and/or under close surveillance. Sometimes the system does not work, and it happens worldwide.
He is in prison for life for the 5 Ipswich killings but has never admitted to anything previous
DeleteIm sure that man has committed far more crimes than we know about yet. He is a wicked, cruel man and my heart breaks for the families of the victims.
ReplyDeleteAngie
I read about that. So sad. I'm glad the family finally learned who the killer was. I can't imagine living all those years and not knowing.
