While we're on the subject of cooking [or not cooking] there's something I've been meaning to ask. I do try not to waste food but I'm always throwing out half used jars of things eg cranberry sauce; bought for Christmas but hardly used; chutneys that I've bought on a whim etc. I've only got a small fridge and by the time I've filled it with mayonnaise, ketchup, brown sauce mango chutney, pickled beetroot and branston there doesn't seem to be much room left for food. Can you buy really small jars of stuff? I am going to buy small bottles of ketchup in future as I don't use a lot. Do chutneys etc keep for longer than the 4-6 weeks it usually says on the jar? Mint sauce surely lasts for ages? Can you freeze chutney [I assume not as it has onion in it]. Don't really understand why my fridge is so small. Other peoples fridges seem Tardis like. On the other hand I have a massive upright freezer that's full of ancient stuff that I'll never eat but keep so that it's full and runs more efficiently. Don't really want to get rid of it in case I need to fill it with those ready meals that Ronnie Corbett used to flog. I feel that, if I could organise my fridge better my life would also become less chaotic ,,,
