Ooh, jelly, brilliant idea! I even have crystals in the cupboard.

A fortune cookie assortment please.

There were fireworks involved in the explosion as well.

My overnight oats this morning were a perfect blend, everything balanced well - sweet but not too sweet, a good amount of thick creamy yoghurt, a nice touch of vanilla. 10/10

Sticks? no no no no no, you need to keep right away from sticks. Dangerous little buggers.

Yuck. The old "foist our rubbish off on the disadvantaged and call it charity" trick.

I have dishwasher powder so that I can scale down the quantity if I don't do a very full load.

I think trying to focus on the dishwasher being full does not work well if you do a lot of cooking, as you tend to produce a lot of dishes in batches, and then you don't have enough space to fit everything in & have to run the dishwasher with some stuff left on the bench waiting. Then you have to unload straight away to put the rest of the dishes away ,which then have to wait until you have more dishes and the whole process repeats. As long as it is at least half full I will run it to keep to a schedule that works for me.

I put mine on with a timer when I go to bed, so that it uses the cheaper electricity rate. Then it is ready to empty in the morning.

I occassionally run extra during the day if I am cooking a lot, or skip running it if I have not used many dishes.

Very true. Most of this stuff has come from the food waste market, so it is already on the precipice. With Christmas and a finger injury causing delays a bit of stuff just didn't make it.

On the positive side, I've now got some pumpkin and zucchini roasting (to be frozen for future grilled sandwiches), I have enough for meals for the next few days to get me through until the next market, and I'm about to get onto cutting up some peaches and apricots for the freezer and to go into some overnight oats. That should use up pretty much everything and leave me with a clean slate.

I'm doing a new year fridge cleanout, and apparently I should have done it a while ago. There are a few vegetables in there that are now liquids.

A plate of nachoes, three mixed tacos and a burrito please.

I love the way supermarkets sell a whole bunch of "salad kits" and vegetable mixes that are primarily shredded cabbage and carrot with a different label. I just used a "stir fry vegetable mix" to make coleslaw. I've had pretty much the same mix of vegies labeled as "asian salad" (with a soy/sesame based dressing), "mexican salad" (with a spicy chilli dressing) or just a "healthy salad" (with a yoghurt dressing and some seeds).
