A 20p Melamine tray


Who would have thought it but when wondering what would be one of my favourite non electrical pieces of kitchen equipment this one comes out top for the most used! I bought it at a car boot sale because I love the farmyard animal design but I rarely see that now!




Yesterday I skinned and sliced up tomatoes from the garden and popped them onto the tray



The tray fits perfectly into the ice cube draw in my upright freezer!



Into a ziplock baggie and into the chest freezer ready for when I make a pizza.

Today I am blanching some runner beans from the garden so that 20p melamine tray will be back in use! I have lemons and kiwi to freeze down as well, might explain why I never do get to the bottom of that chest freezer!

Yesterday I decided (at long last) to do something about the spare bedroom and got rid of about 5 bin bags of paper and old clothes to the dump's recycling bins, 1 bag was normal rubbish no plastic recycling here other than for bottles! and several more to a charity shop. More has gone to that storeroom in the sky (loft) and the crafting bits are now in the conservatory. At the end of the day I was exhausted so the risotto was put on hold and we had fish and chips but 1 meal between the two of us followed by more strawberries, I had a large salad for lunch so hopefully enough healthy food for the day. Definately not a no spend day then! :(

What a great little tray! I love the way it fits into the ice-cube tray - I have one of those too (full of ice-pops at the moment for when I get a sugar low and need something cold and sweet to perk me up) so I'll look out for something similar as it's obviously incredibly handy.
