DH thinks I've lost the plot.

I went to our local M&S to buy stuff for Christmas and brought home a Cottage Pie for tonight's meal.

DH couldn't work out why I bought one while we have one in the freezer.

My view is that we still have one in the freezer for any eventuality.

Ooh, that sounds good. I love Boxing Day sandwiches at the best of times. Not just the turkey/nutroast, but the stuffing, chestnuts, pigs in blankets etc.

I love M&S stuffing. I look lovingly at the trays of delicious stuff but it would be just too naughty to buy one and have it with eg baked potatoes and sprouts. No I'm not really thinking about it...

We're out on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, lucky us.
But I do having miss cold meats with bubble and squeak on Boxing Day.

Good point about defrosting the cottage pie, Allira, but the ones we buy cook from frozen.

But, whichever way you look at it, I have another in the freezer.

It makes perfect sense to me..

I love a bought in meal. I cook most days from scratch and DH wakes up with the words what are we having for dinner tonight on his lips.i have very little freezer space two drawers in the house and a tiny one in the garage so only space for fresh ingredients and the dear man does not believe in leftovers, they all go down the gaping maw. I’m with kitty all the way.

It takes ages!
DH thought the one he "cooked" last night was defrosted (it wasn't, properly) so we waited another 20 minutes to eat.
