Success!

This week has been a week for using all sorts of food which had been consuming space in the freezer. For many years we had two, one very tall and the other half size, but a young friend was in need, so we gave the half-size version away. Not a problem until I want to find room for a turkey and several trays of uncooked mince pies. So we had a delicious slow-cooked leg of lamb last weekend, with enough left over to make shepherds pie the next day. I added a bag of chopped veggies to the slow cooker so that created a bit more space. Today the beleaguered shopkeepers enjoyed a piece of chocolate cake, although I’ve been reminded it wasn’t any old chocolate cake, but Granny Pat’s chocolate cake. The recipe is on the website, it’s technically known as Milk choc. cake and is a favourite of all our young peeps, including our nephews, so it was a big deal to use that today. But, guess what? It came out of the freezer too ! 😉
