    Takeaway Szechuan on the night we got home after a long haul flight. First night of cooking at home was spaghetti with vodka sauce pulled out of the freezer and some salad with ranch.

    I'm so glad to see you again @acpgee ... I'm used to you posting nearly everyday so I wondered what happened to you. Good to know it was a trip!

    Still jet lagged from transatlantic flight so second meal at home was also pulled out of the freezer. Duck confit cooked sous vide in a huge batch in portioned bags and frozen 2 months ago was broiled for 15 minutes along with potatoes. Potatoes were par boiled 3 minutes, then tossed in the sous vide bag to coat with a little duck fat and scattered between the duck legs. Sauteed some spinach while everything else was in the air fryer. Gravy was the warmed liquid from the sous vide bag.

    First night of cooking from scratch after returning home on Friday from transatlantic trip. Chicken lok lak with Szechuan steamed aubergine salad and rice. The lok lak stir fry sauce containing was the element made in advance a month or two ago and stored in the fridge in a sqeeze bottle. Homemade stir fry sauces containing non perishables like fish sauce, oyster sauce and tamarind can be stored in the fridge for months.

    I’ve had a tin of Lebanese style beans & chickpeas that I picked up, in either Aldi or Lidl, probably 6 months ago because I was curious. Then didn’t quite know what they actually were or what to do with them.

    Bit the bullet last night and opened the can…added baby plum tomatoes, lemon juice & parsley as the label suggested. Served with Freekeh and a cucumber, red onion, red and green pepper salad dressed with lemon juice and fresh mint.

    It wasn’t bad! I’m thinking it resembles a dish called Ful Medames but I’m not really familiar with the cuisines from that part of the world.

    Do you freeze your vodka sauce with the cream in it or add it after thawing?

    When I make pasta a la vodka I make a bigger batch of the sauce than I need for the night and freeze the excess with the cream in. I've never had issues with the cream splitting. I defrost in the refrigerator overnight and heat gently before stirring the cooked and drained pasta in.

    Cooked almost completely from scratch tonight. Lentils cooked in shellfish bisque we had in the freezer. Pan fried sea bream. Chimmichurri we had in the fridge from before we went on holiday last week. Snowpeas sauteed with leftover pre-vacation prosciutto.
