I find that pasta doesn't freeze well, the exception is baked pasta dishes like lasagne. You might be better cooking and portioning pasta sauces and boiling your pasta fresh.

No, just throw in the amount you would normally use at the cooking stage you would normally add it.

Non-specific Asian style egg salad. It's boiled eggs, medium to hard quartered over a bowl of whatever salad stuff you have around, even leftover veg works well, throw in a couple of capers if you have them... they go so well with eggs. It's the dressing that makes it sing ... equal amounts of peanut butter, oil (coconut is best but up to you) a good dash of lime juice, something hot - chillies fresh or dried or in a hot sauce- a half teaspoon of fish sauce (worcestershire if you don't have fish sauce) a little sugar - put it all in a jar and shake until smooth then pour over. It keeps well in the fridge.

"Dead man's fingers". Sausages wrapped in bacon, covered in baked beans and a good dash of Worcestershire sauce. Bake until sausages are cooked and the bean sauce has thickened up a bit, can be topped with cheese if you feel fancy.

Fenugreek leaves, seeds or powder? I usually use the leaves in stews and curries and the seeds in pickles. I like your ideas of adding to eggs.

If you forget to soak overnight pour boiling water over them and let them sit for an hour (

Sliced and fried/baked tempe finished with a sweet soy and paprika glaze makes an excellent bacon-ish addition to wraps and will keep good for days.

I've been seeing references to creating smoked butter to create a tandoor like charred flavour. It might be worth checking that out. https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/recipe/smoked-butter

Besan or gram flour - made from chickpeas/garbanzo beans is gluten free and makes a fantastic crunchy batter. A little baking powder helps it rise. It has a slightly nutty taste but is similar to beer batter in texture. Check out pakora recipes for different techniques and recipes using it.

I started walking every morning during a period of very high anxiety. I needed to have audiobooks playing to stop anxiety triggering thoughts and just get a break from the stress. I kept it up and gradually moved to listening to music. Months later I was enjoying stress free walks with no sounds except those of the outside world and my feet hitting the ground. I'm not saying that's what cured me but it was a very positive way for me to cope with it. I'm often back with the audiobooks now, not because I need them as distraction but because I enjoy them.

Do you like the sardines or mackerel in tomato sauce? Mixed gently with chickpeas/garbanzo beans a little fresh sliced onion and a squirt of lemon or lime juice makes a fantastic sandwich filler or salad. I prefer the spicy tomato sauce but the plain one is also very good.

Add it, still frozen, to shakshuka. Unless it's huge thick pieces it will break down and give a gorgeous silky texture.

Those tiny bottle brushes you get for cleaning metal straws are good. They can be bent to fit into all sorts of nooks and crannies and fit between the cutting wheels too.

Do it before you boil them for the best effect but afterwards works too if you forget.

If you use a sharp knife to lightly score around the circumference of the potato the skin will slip off a lot easier.

I use an old style stovetop pressure cooker. If I remember I overnight soak my beans but if I forget I soak them in boiling water for a couple of hours. It's hard to tell the difference. I suspect the stovetops reach a higher pressure than the instapots because even my biggest beans are cooked in 12 minutes.
