Years ago I used to make elaborate meals,entertain a lot,even weekday meals were 'fancy'.Now I've got sick of thinking what to make,we grow lots of veg and are lucky to have two farm shops close by so tend to eat more simply. If we want exotic we get a takeaway but almost everything we eat is from scratch. I want to know where my food comes from and would rather go hungry than eat cage eggs or intensive reared pork. We are also eating a lot more vegetarian meals.
