It keeps for about two weeks past the sell by date inside a fridge. We find that apples, pears, grapes, salad, peppers and mushrooms keep long enough to buy in quantity too.
If you have to go out regularly, that's fine, but it doesn't suit everyone.

Today,lurking in the fridge,I found half a jar of red pesto and a carton of cream cheese(just out of date)I mixed the two together in a pan,heated it up and served it over hot pasta.

In the pantry I found two sad looking leeks and three potatoes left in a bag.I peeled and roughly chopped them,added two chopped onions and put it all in a pan with chicken stock(or stock cubes and water)to cover.Simmer until tender,liquidise,season and serve.You can stir some cream through but tastes good as it is. Quick and easy soup.

I have some cold lamb, left over new potatoes, peas, neeps and carrots.
It just has to be a cornish pasty doesn't it

Good job it's just for me though, there isn't enough for two.

Why isn't there ever left over cream cake? Is there such a thing?

My pasty was huge

It should have fed two people - I was wrong.
I made some rough puff pastry which was a mistake, as I couldn't leave it alone and ate too much......
Result ; left overs

Today we(Andy and I)found 5lb of frozen blackberries-wild and 1lb of frozen golden raspberries-wild.Bought some apples and pears in ASDA last week and both were tasteless so added them to the berries with sugar and Andy made a batch of jam.Smells amazing.

And don't you find that jam made from wild rasps sets much better too?
