All about the space…

At the weekend I decided to make a bulk batch of Slo-bol – slow-cooked bolognaise sauce. I try to keep a supply of properly labelled boxes in the freezer but we’d run out. Carrots and celery were on the shopping list for the soffrito and it occurred to me that since we’re now in salad season there was a risk these wouldn’t all get used. So I spent a while on Sunday chopping all the carrots and celery, as well as four onions, so that I could freeze bags of ready to use vegetables for the next time I make a bulk batch of bolognaise. I’m trying hard not to waste food but since we gave one of our young friends the “overflow” fridge freezer, space is at a premium. Consequently several of last year’s frozen tomatoes found their way into the pan. Champion freezer sorter cum organiser (hubby) was then called upon to find space for the five boxes of slo-bol. Much sighing ensued…. 😉
