'I've already prepped Xmas dinner - pals are baffled but day will be stress-free'
This year we’ll have my mum Jan, 67, and dad Andy, 68, round, as well as Matt’s mum Linda, 67, which means I’ll be cooking for seven. So in September, with the radio playing in the background, I prepped the potatoes, carrots, parsnips and sprouts and made gravy, before putting it all in a special drawer of our jumbo freezer.
The only things I won’t freeze are mayonnaise, salad and jelly – I’ve tried, but it just didn’t work. Anything else is fair game. If I don’t finish a pot of tea, I’ll pour the rest into ice cube trays and use it to make an iced tea later. Meanwhile, ice cubes of red and white wine dregs go into pasta sauces or risotto, and a half-used tin of chickpeas or refried beans also goes in the freezer. I even freeze eggs that are nearing their use-by date. I just beat them, pour them into ziplock bags and lie them flat to save space. Matt once dropped a box of eggs on the doorstep. Instead of binning the broken ones, I shelled and froze them.
