The Last of the Goodies

Every year I buy too much for Christmas. Every year I buy less but it's still too much. This year it looks like the goodies will be used up by the end of January. This is all that's left - some Turkish Delight, some chocolate buttons and a couple of boxes of Matchmakes. 

There are also some satsumas in the picture, but they were delivered yesterday and don't count.

We threw away some cheese because it had gone way past its best - it was the stuff that DH and bear had requested but hadn't really bothered with and it was that 'cheese with cranberries' stuff that would never keep. I think that there are a few sprouts in the freezer and that's about it. I'm feeling quite good about that. 

I'm trying to run down my stores at the moment and being quite particular about what I'm keeping in. We're low on baked beans, but we don't eat so many anyway these days, and I could probably add a tin of sweetcorn to the next order, but I am still concerned about using up what's in. 

Talking about using stuff up, remember the potato soup that I made that I said was awful? Well I cooked up the rest of the bacon for a sandwich and it was absolutely foul! So I think I may try something similar again, but with better bacon! 

Hugs and good health to all.
