Chicken Snizichel

I don't even know how to spell it but I was over them. The last time i went shopping at Meat City, I bought lots of these and found when packing them for the freezer that I didn't have enough containers for single serves so I did a few in one larger container.

I put freezer paper between them so i could just get enough out for one meal, pretty smart hey? Except that last week, I pulled out the Whole container and didn't realize really what i had done until they were thawed. Result was three meals and one lunch the meat being chicken. I mixed it up and had salad one night, mashed potato and hot vegetables the next night, followed by chicken (again) and my version of fried rice, then the last for lunch today with salad. Finally we can eat something different! I selected some mince from the freezer this morning for the evening meal, so far so good.

Tidying one of the "hot spots" this afternoon (a buzz word which means an area that always seems to be messy)I discovered a voucher that I had been sent from the local club that we belong to, it was a free meal for one purchased, yep, we'll do that. Then i read the fine print, it was only available on Monday and Tuesdays until the end of the month.

I asked Warren if he was cooking tonight, he said "Okay where do you want t eat?" then i told him about the voucher. Off we went for an early dinner and on the menu for specials was Chicken Schnitzel! done in different ways, I choose the one with garlic prawns and Warren had Hawaiian. With the voucher, the meals cost us $12 and we did have a drink which was a few more dollars but no prep and no dishes, yay!

Meat City

This retail store has been in our area for awhile and I have been there once before. While the meat and price were good, the smell and cold was off putting so I had avoided it.However they have moved to new especially built premises which is actually closer to home and I tried them again on the weekend.

What a pleasant surprise, well laid out, lots of different cuts of meat some in small cuts and others in larger amount. It is called meat city but there were seafood, fruit and vegetables plus bakery items. I had done my food shopping and dropped in to get meat/top up the freezer so only needed meat.

I bought 2 kgs of pork chops, two trays of gourmet sausages, 10 small boneless chicken roasts, 2 kgs of crumbled steak, a pack of smoked chicken (3 marylands of chicken)and a full piece of corned beef and finally a side of veal. Cost was $77 plus a Turkish bread. It took me nearly an hour to break it up and pack it into meal sized pieces to pack into the freezer and make a list so that I know what is in there and when it was frozen (never done that before!)

Saturday night we had one of the corned beef, I cut it into four pieces and it was hot with white sauce and vegetables, cold meat and salad in half the Turkish bread for Sundays lunch and then there was just enough to take for lunch on Monday so six meals. had a pork chop for dinner last night and each meal was delicious. Very happy that I tried it again, I'm hoping though that the meat will last us for a month or more.
