Oh what to do....

47 replies

Thatusernameisalreadytaken · 20/08/2021 16:48

with the beef mince I have taken out the freezer?

I am isolating so can only use what I have in the house,

I have pasta, veggies, herbs and spices so could potentially make a sauce? I have tin toms too,

Any ideas?

Go with a basic bolognaise then if you have leftovers you can spice that up as a chilli tomorrow for something different.

Meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, bolognese, chilli con carne, cottage pie, kofta, moussaka with beef instead of lamb…

What sort of meal do you fancy? BBC Good Food site is full of recipe suggestions. I use it a lot.

Homemade burgers! I'm not a big fan of mince but burgers are my go to comfort food

@MauveMagnolia

Go on, you get three guesses.

No idea ?
CV19 isolation is over for double jabbed and that is most people over 25 and many over 18. My DS is 23 and double vacc

I'm 33 and only managed to get my second ten days ago so I'm not exempt either. Not that why she's isolating has anything to do with the question she asked...

mined beef, carrots, onions in gravy and pancakes, comfort food:)

Grin I do feel a bit stupid that I didn't even click that I could do a bolognaise, I think its because I usually get a sauce and I currently don't have one Hmm

I've tested positive, so having to isolate, assumed that would be obvious

I’m just joking @Thatusernameisalreadytaken Grin, I hope you feel better soon! Flowers

MauveMagnolia · 20/08/2021 19:40

Not for anyone who tests positive it isn’t

That isn’t isolation
Based on 2 bouts of cv19 how to cook mince would not be high on your priority list

Of course that's isolation. They tell you that you just self isolate if you test positive. Have you confused the word isolation with close contact?

Isn't it? What is it then? I'm not sure what is classed as a priority when isolating - but I'm sure eating and feeding the family would be on the list?

Also, not that I have to justify why I am asking such a stupid question, (other than my mind has gone completely due to boredom)...I'm not actually ill....as, I can only assume, because I have been double jabbed. I feel all I have is a cold, if that. Just following the rules

No, It was a fair comment...I think my brain has forgotten how to work due to boredom.

That's the thing, I don't fancy anything to do with beef mince. sorry that made me laugh! I always end up with something in the fridge and I don't fancy eating it so you have my sympathy.

TSSDNCOP · 20/08/2021 20:10

You're poorly, no one ever fancies what they've got when they're poorly.

I guessed you'd tested positive though so I'm a winner!

Well to be fair if you have covid and have been isolating I'm not surprised. Hope you're on the mend and the bolognase tasted good.
