PeteMorris   10 #13 Posted July 19, 2012 I always make more than I need and put any leftovers in the freezer for lunches through the week.  Ah... but presumably, that's by design? I could claim that too, but no, it's just that I cook too much! Eyes bigger than my belly perhaps (although that's stretching a point for me)?

They deliberately make it bird size proportions, just so that you've have another, and another, and another!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #18 Posted July 19, 2012 Whenever I seem to cook, I seem to make enough food, perhaps not enough to feed the 5000, but I certainly overdo it. I made a delicious curry last night. It was perfection (for me), but now there's enough left for me to have for both lunch and evening dinner, probably for the next 3 days! (not that I'm going to, so some of it will end up being bin fodder I expect!)  Is it me who's just a blithering idiot or is it a 'man thing'.  (no it won't fit in my freezer )  Walk us through how you made this curry, presumably you started with a portion of meat, some veg, etc... At a guess each of these portions was too large...  Sometimes I cook a lot, but that might be because I'd rather use the whole pack of mince than try to split it, but it shouldn't really come as a surprise when it's cooked that there is a lot of food.
