Mr Decaff is still in hospital? How are things going?
And I couldn't bear not opening the windows ... I have insect screening as there's a *lot* flying around, but for a mogsplosh I'd be tempted to use the wire grill fencing or something, just to get the through draft ... hope its not too hot for you this year.
Mmmm that winter mash really does sound yummy, I will have to give this a try, thanks Brambles
Yup Mr D STILL in hospital, should have only been 7-10 days.. Its been 2 months now and still no end in sight they are doing a small procedure on Weds followed by the stoma reversal a couple of days after. Then hopefully he will have an end to this nightmare and normal life and prepping can resume!
Have to say the hospital parking is steep at £3 for up to 3 hours and then it jumps up to £6!!!! Wouldn't mind but the machines are always broken or jammed up and they only seem to come round and fix them if you say you won't pay, they are on site but just lazy!!

Speak to the ward nurses decaff a lot of hospitals have free parking for relatives of long term patients.

Tonight I added 8 chicken fajitas to the freezer each one wrapped in foil ready to reheat in the oven, my son wanted to eat them as I made them.. I don't think they are going to last for long
Do you freeze the fajitas in the tortilla or just portions of the sauce?

I read a (historic) post on mrmoneymustache about hospital parking - its Colorado, so not directly comparable - but he did mention about parking at a local recreation centre/park and walking through a local suburb to get to the hospital - not good enough for elderly folks, and maybe it adds too much time to your day, but is there anything nearby you can see on google that would do?
the royal Berkshire Hospital introduced parking charges and almost instantly double yellow lines appeared on every road with in walking distance for the elderly or infirm. Its about time the people of this country stood up to the Parking charges, most of which are based on implied contracts and as such are civil court issues.

Hi! I wrapped the filling in the tortilla so that they just need defrosting and reheating without having to remove from the foil wrapper. Only things I didn't do was spread a bit of mayo on the tortilla or heat the tortilla as they are easier to wrap when cold, firmer for freezing and will not be soggy when reheated.

Unfortunately hospital is situated just off a major roundabout, there are lots of green spaces around it but no access for vehicles. Road works all along the route from the other direction, a huge school and nearest roads are permit holders only.

Im 2/3 way through a mahoosive bake'n'make for the freezer. So far, Cinnamon rolls, Butteries, Fajitas, Beef and Bean Burritos, Breakfast Burritos and a couple of 3 Cheese Lasagne. I still want to get some Muffins, Pancakes and a couple of cakes done too, while it's still not too hot.
Edit: Cheese and Chive Scones and Strawberry Muffins in the oven.
