Accidentally made a massive lasagne and feel panicky

[BeardofHagrid]

As title, really.

I made a vegetable lasagne this afternoon and it’s turned out much bigger than intended, with an estimated weight of around two stone.

Albeit very nice, it is rather rich for my taste, using cream cheese in lieu of béchamel, not to mention the secret layer of fresh basil leaves. It’s only me to eat it and I don’t think I can face it for some time after one more serving tomorrow. Freezer is full. Neighbours all vegan.

The huge lasagne is cooling off in my now extinguished oven while tough decisions are made. Feeling a bit hot and panicky about it.

What do?

I bet there's something old and manky looking in the freezer that could get ditched. Much better to skip some forgotten freezer burned stuff so there's room for lovely lasagne.

If you have any freezer items in card board boxes in the freezer (ice cream cones/lollies, breaded fish etc) unbox them to create extra space. Do you have kids? Can you get them to invite a friend for tea tomorrow (only friends who eat anything welcome on this occasion!)

I'd put a post on local Facebook page. Something along the lines of "Having over estimated the amount of available freezer space, I have x portions of homemade veggie lasagne available to a good home. Cooked this afternoon in a clean home kitchen. Collection only, please comment below with the number of portions you would like. First come, first served."

@TisTheDarnSeason There's not one part of the OPs post that indicates that is humour or lighthearted. If it is, it's a pretty piss poor attempt.

Fair enough, it's not lasagne, but salmon asparagus and cheese is never a bad thing!

Remove à few things from the freezer for the next couple of days and replace with lasagne portions. Bin all your icecubes to make more space

@gingercat02 to be fair it was very nice but I still want lasagne.

How big is the dish!! A 28 pound lasagne.

There is zero indication it is not. Though the feel of it would point that way.

You would know if they where vegan

I'm pregnant and fasting until a blood test tomorrow, can I come over for lunch?

Same. Have car, will collect others.

Or Brighton.

2 stone??? 2 stone???

I knew exactly what you meant. Standard expression in our (London) home.

Olio it! Full list of ingredients it'll be gone so quickly!

I thought it was a typo of "phony" i.e. fake vegetarian/vegan "salmon"! 😅

There's no such thing as "no room in the freezer" There's always room if you have the right mindset

I'm so glad it wasn't just me that didn't understand! I wondered if it was a typo for 'pink'.

Invite your friends over.

Me too. You can have my cream cheese.

Post a note on a local Facebook site. I’m sure there are families out there that would be grateful for a meal tomorrow.

Olio app - someone will come and pick it up tomorow.

How do you accidentally make something so big? You’d notice as you were making it.

Have a serious clear out of your freezer, throw anything you haven’t eaten for more than 6 months! And throw last years ice lollies away!

Sorry, I don't understand

What are "last year's ice lollies"? Is this one of those things like "leftover wine"? People talk about them, but they don't actually exist...
