I've taken some mince out of the freezer (while looking for sausagemeat that I couldn't find! ! ) and after reading the thread, I'll make chilli con carne and rice! ! Was thinking about doing a lasagna, but have a little catering job tomorrow and can't be bothered making pasta today after prepping all my savouries! ! !
Jaybee - I too live too far away from town to nip to the shops (40 min drive to supermarket), but isn't it great having a freezer or two or three full of meat and a garden of veggies :)

Was going to make home made spring rolls with rice, pork mince, cabbage etc... but been out in the warm sun cleaning up the worm farms and weeding... so that will have to do for tomorrow nite...

Made with spring roll wrappers Ingredients: 1 small grated potato (do this last). . 1/2 cabbage, shredded finely. . one carrot julienned, very thin. . 150g pork mince. . 2-3 cloves garlic. . 1 onion, finely sliced french cut. . 2 tbsp soy sauce. . grating of ginger. . pinch of five spice. . dash of fish sauce. . salt and pepper. . spring roll wrappers. Method:. . Fry crushed garlic ginger and onion until tender then add pork mince and cook for further 5 mins... Season with salt , pepper and five spice... A little fish sauce to taste/. Add 1 cup vege stock to meat and mix with and cook potato, carrots and cabbage until just tender. Set aside until cold... Put about 2-3 tbsp of filling on top of wrapper and roll up, corner to corner, tucking in the sides... Seal with little flour / water mix... Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown or place on oiled oven tray and grill at 200c turning when golden brown. . Serve on a bed of turmeric and pea rice with a green, like whole beans or peas on the side. . Variations: (a) Use precooked cold rice instead of potato. (b) Add a tsp of curry powder. .

Well, I made a beef bourginion (sp) last night in the crockpot for Mr when he arrived home from his fishing trip. But they were running SOOOO late they grabbed fish and chips en route. So, tonights offering, I'm thinking of chucking beef into dish and throwing on some mashed spuds, cheese and breadcrumbs... voila! pie! lol.

Veggie garden bake here tonight, with probably some grilled bacon for the meat eaters, as I haven`t pulled any meat from the freezer.
