    Soup divvied up. Six generous helpings

    No idea how I'll fit it in the freezer

    Still, one is lunch tomorrow and the rest'll be fine in the fridge for a few days before freezing if necessary, so I just need to work my way through some of the other stuff in there

    Though I've also got a load of ribs that have to be cooked tomorrow, and once they're cooked and packaged up they'll also have to fit in there somewhere… ah well, I'm sure it will be all right in the end

        It's absolutely jam packed in there already, but I can find a bit of space by doing things like taking frozen meat out of the plastic containers full of space it comes in and vacuum-packing it instead. And there's a frozen joint of pork that can be done later in the week which takes up a bit of space. I'm sure I can work out how to get it all in there over the next few days

          Do you have a stock control system so you know what's in there, when it went in there, and when it should be used by?

              Mine is in the form of labels printed on my Dymo label printer, attached to each item. I somehow thought NF would have created his own app and barcodes etc

                I label my soups and stews, but turnover is generally rapid enough that it's not an issue. One advantage of it not being very big, I suppose

                  Ages ago I bought a big box of labels from Staples, not because I really needed them for anything in particular, but because I have no impulse control in a stationery shop. So I'm gradually working my way through them

                    Does Staples still exist?

                    Everywhere seems to have gone into administration unless they are a big supermarket.
