Before she left, my helper cooked up extra food for freezing. I asked her to write down what the items are. From past experience, too often we open up the containers later and are completely mystified what the contents are! The containers for my parents' place bore their little labels. For the containers at our home, I also asked her to make a 'master list'.
Master list and 'Lamb in soy sauce'
And this is 'Deboned lamb to eat with bread'
This system worked out very well. Near the weekend I just pull out the master list, decide on the items and then take it out of the freezer when we got home. It was like ordering from a restaurant menu hahaha.
Wah, your helper is a gem! Ya, these frozen ready meals are exactly like the frozen meals that I bought for cny stock up. Very convenient and tasty 😋😋😋
ReplyDeleteHelps to have a list. I have had forgetton items living in the freezer for months/years!
DeleteOh, you must have bought many containers to freeze the cooked meals.
ReplyDeleteHeh yes. I was an tupperware fan for years. I recently acquired various glass containers which can be popped directly into the microwave and then used to serve food.
DeleteYour helper has done an amazing job! It feels like having a home chef who manages the entire family's diet!
