Cook-off!

These boys are all good eaters and are free to grab fresh fruit and vegies from the fridge whenever they like - within reason- but while we go through lots of apples and pears, with our vegie deliveries we have a HUGE backlog of potatoes, pumpkins and carrots. So when this weeks delivery came with another bag of tatties and a whole pumpkin, something had to happen - and it was a cookoff. I had knives and pots going all afternoon, with a pot of orange soup(sweet potatoes, carrots and pumpkin) a pot of tomato sauce (using onion, tomatoes and red peppers) and finally a massive pile of mashed potatoe. I had to do this in two batches- but I use the rice cooker (so it can't boil dry) and at least I can go off and do other things.

With all this cooking, the biggest problem was finding a freezer to put it all in. But with all of this food cooked - what for dinner.........pizza!
