Thread: These new subscription businesses floating about that send you stuff to your door on

    These new subscription businesses floating about that send you stuff to your door on

    a weekly/monthly seems to be a load of stuff that nobody really needs.

    Fixing a problem that doesn't exist. I don't need that many razor blades, or a mattress that comes rolled up in a cylinder.

    Anybody tried those companies that deliver meals? Not meals on wheels.

    I tried one of those food kit delivery jobs for a few weeks, more for inspiration and a bit of variety than anything else.

    Their portions were made for midgets or Karen Carpenter.

    I'm looking for new things to cook. I've been buying loads of cookbooks for flumpence in secondhand stores and raping them for ideas. It's starting to annoy the wife.

    Someone I know tried it just to keep the recipe cards.

    The sensible thing would be to choose 7 meals, appoint one to each day of the week, and quit poncing about having to make decisions.

    Actually, that's not a bad idea...

    Monday - Schitzel, potato salad, peas
    Tuesday - Steak, chips, peas
    Wednesday - Sausage, mash, peas
    Thursday - Pork belly, pommes dauph, peas
    Friday - Prawn and pea risotto
    Saturday - Spag bol. No peas.
    Sunday - Roast chicken and that.

    Easy peasy.

    Oh yes, I kept them, then I lost them.

    How can one prepare in advance but keep the freezer use to a minimum without having to pop into the supermarket each evening on the way home from work.
