What tangy thing would you have with yours?
I’m doing carrot and potato crush, and tenderstem broccoli but was wondering about some kind of chutney/sauce to have with it....
I’ve just made an oven roasted ratatouille of sorts, using up the last of the veg which has been lingering in the fridge..bendy courgettes, leeks well past their best, eight large tomatoes going...
I bought a packet of the spices to make the above, and fruit to float on the top. This year I’m going to add some spicy rum too, having had Swedish glogg with julbord a couple of weeks ago. Glogg...
Beds are made, house is sparkling, meals all planned, shopping list compiled down to the last olive ready for the final foray to sainsburys, family arriving on Friday, entertainment sorted. Phew....
Having visitors this week and one of the evenings they’re here I’m planning on doing an Italian ish meal. Does anyone have an Italian type starter which they really like, which is also quick and...
Would either/both of these drugs, prescribed to lower blood pressure, cause a person to need to pee more because of the way they work in lowering blood pressure? I know they’re not diuretics....
Crispy Peking duck. It’s from Costco and there’s quite a lot of it. I think it should be as a starter for lots of people but we’re going to demolish the whole lot between us as our main meal....

I love bread, the more the better. My favourite is French baguette, closely followed by soda bread, then any you have to carve a lump off. I do like cranberry and walnut bread, not so keen on any with...
A colourful array of peppers, onions and sweet potato roasting in the oven, shortly to pop in some cauliflower cheese grills. It will be accompanied by Stark Conde Chenin Blanc..if there’s any left,...
