« on: March 19, 2012, 02:11:08 am »
I should have cancelled my last veggie deilvery, but didnt.

I have a large pot of ministrone soup on the go.

I still have 1/2 white cabbage, 1 carrot, spring onions, iceberg lettuce,1/2 red cabbage, loads of potatoes.

Any ideas?

I dont want to buy anymore food.

I akso have quite a lot of eggs.

Yes thats all  I could come up with & we have been eating a lot of coleslaw recently.

We leave friday very early, but thursday night we are out to eat. That way I can keep the house clean.

Thank you for your ideas.

Just used the leek in the soup, never mind.

Scalloped potatoes, yes tomorrow.

Might make egg fried rice for ds & dh lunches.

Love all the ideas.

This forums great :D

Hally you can peel and cut up potatoes and freeze. Cabbage too.
Maybe do a quiche.

Potatoes freeze well Hally. Cut up like Robyn suggested or you can even make mash and freeze it serving portions.

 if the spring onions have roots even if they have been cut at bit , you can plant them in your vegie garden  and they will grow
so next time you need spring onions you just get it from your garden
l do this all the time when l see them reduced to clear

What a great idea Nazar. Never knew that one.

My DH just come home with a heap of silver beet(50 leaves)  about 20 cucumbers, 30 large carrots, white beet root a zucchini and some purple things I can't identify lol. What am I supposed to do with all that?

Just google 'what to do with .....' Mandi and you will have plenty of ideas come your way. I usually make carrot soup and carrot cake (both TMX recipes) if I have a lot of carrots. Silverbeet you can blanch and freeze for later. The purple things aren't eggplants are they?  There are a surprising amount of things to do with cucumbers when you look into it.

Thanks Judy and Maddy. As for the purple thing it's not an egg plant, kind of looks like a cross between a Swede and artichoke lol. It's a root veggie. Will have to take a photo and post it here so someone can identify it for me.
