I did a crazy clean out the fridge/cupboard deal where I funk out with a crockpot.
It will be a cubed pork, bulgur, sundried tomates, and stuffed green olives concoction. Pork left over from a discounted packet I had, some bulk bulgur that I hadn't used in a while, 99 cent 32 oz sundried tomato jar I've been working on for two years, green olives abandoned at a work potluck.
I make a fair amount of these freak dishes, and the good thing is that I almost always like them. My boyfriend is pleasantly surprised when he does. The last one, a unused almost rusting gift curry jar, some cleaning-out-the-freezer chicken, yams, rice and green beans made a fabulous almost legitimate tasting dish.
For lunch I had frozen leftover concoction: a meat muffin. Seventy five percent off last day ground turkey special, leftover homemade shake and bake-a bit stale, homemade breadcrumbs from bread ends, asian hoisin sauce - another gift, from an asian themed basket. I had no loaf pan, so used a muffin tin. Perfect for freezing for lunches.
