I was so close to a "fuck it all" frozen chips purchase for dinner tonight but I think I'll make that tomorrow's, since tomorrow is when I really will be done with the week and ready to collapse.
Got leftover dahl for tonight, guess I'll make some rice and do a side of stir fried frozen veg.
On the topic of cooking, I bought a tube of Mutti 51% tomato paste mixed with aromatic veg (carrot, celery, onion) the other day. That has been really useful for making quick sauces. Lasts a month in the fridge once opened. Made a delicious napoli sauce in no time yesterday with a tin of tomatoes.... Definitely a repeat purchase. Could be useful for pilafs and curries and stews
That paste sounds super handy. I'll keep my eye out!
This is the one. https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/414514/mutti-vegetable-paste-130g
Highly recommend! A third of that sauteed in oil + 2 tinned tomatoes + garlic (poowder) + sugar + salt/stock powder + dried herbs, simmer for 10-20 minutes... hey presto, really easy and cheap pasta sauce right smack in the middle between jar sauce on one end, and making it completely from scratch on the other.
