What's over-running your fridge?
« on: April 30, 2013, 06:54:24 pm »
When you open the door to your fridge, what do you find you have the most of in there?
 
Normally with us it's chutneys, but right now it's chocolate. Easter has been and gone and as usual the place is over run with Easter Eggs and their choccy based contents. No one here is that keen on the stuff so it hangs around for months, eventually being reincarnated into Chocolate Fudge Cake or the ilk.
 
You?

Muller light yogurt. I'm on a diet so I have them for desert.
If it wasn't for the diet I would be saying 'pass the chocolate my way please' I love the stuff  ;D

Natural yoghurt. I hate the stuff but the last few weeks I've been nursing poorly sheep and chickens at different times.
And wine...to get me through the emotional stress xxxxxx

3 Bean Salad - yum yum (I adore salads, even in winter I scoff them happily). Muller Light Yogurt - yum yum. Can't remember the last time I tasted Muller Light, used to buy the big pots.
Turkish Delight flavour? Ohhh.......... never seen that one.......... yum again!

Don't have a fridge. That means I never get tempted to have too much of anything - saves a lot of money!

Milk, milk and more milk... getting about 21ltrs a day, yes that's correct 21 ltrs (out of 6 goats, about to go up to 7 goats tomorrow). BUT 8 goat kids take just over 16 litres, also got two lambs on the bottle.. as of tomorrow it will be 10 goat kids...

Temperatures here don't often get above fridge temperature anyway - even in summer...  ;)

I have one of those double walled plant pot coolers, which helps a bit; plus I keep milk in a bucket with water in the shade. At the moment, it keeps perfectly fresh for a week. I don't shop every week these days; the rest of the time I have the coffee black - and I use dried milk for cooking, anyway. Everything else (yoghurt, cheese) keeps for at least two weeks without any problems.

I was going to put milk but seeing Anke's vast quantities makes mine look a pittance. More than we can use anyway. I'm freezing spare for cheese making as and when I can find containers to freeze it in.

We have the remains of my stewed fruits of the forest that mostly I collected last year and added some 10p  blueberries, then loads of cheese, I love cheese but do not eat much of it anymore, it was bought for cooking etc but I did not end up using it all, so now its getting used slowly, also some plain yogurt otherwise its usually salad stuff, thinking back, my parents never had fridges and I dare say we could go without!!!
