“What’s this?” you cry; “two posts in one day? You’re spoiling us.” We are going to a meeting tonight at 6 p.m. and thought we’d eat our main meal at lunchtime, and just grab a sandwich before we go out. I bought a bunch of English asparagus at the greengrocer yesterday – don’t suppose there’ll…

chicken and fennel with pasta
Our local Co-Op had special offers on chicken last week – two packs of diced breast for a fiver, and the same for whole breast. I picked up two packs of each and stowed them in the freezer, not least because I’m trying to cut down my red meat consumption. There was also a head…
reactive entertaining
Last night’s supper was already planned, insofar as I knew we needed to use up some of the veg in the fridge, and we’d been eating rice for a few days, so it was time for pasta for a change. I chopped up a fat leek, a red romano pepper, and several cloves of garlic,…
broad beans, feta and pasta
Another big bag of broad beans in the box this week. I wanted something quick and simple for supper, but of course failed to allow the time required to shell a big bag of broad beans. Ho hum. Once they were released from their furry prisons, I set (far too much) pasta on to boil,…
green beans and pasta
I reviewed the contents of the veg drawer last night – to my shame, there were two small turnips going mouldy, so they had to go. A wide assortment of carrots was hurled into the slow cooker for carrot and coriander soup for lunch today. And there were a lot of green beans. We like…
green beans and tomato
We’re a bit over veg’d this week, as we bought mushrooms and asparagus as well as the box, and so we’re starting to panic a bit over what’s left this week, given another box arrives tomorrow. Think I’ll have to cancel next week’s … Tonight, we looked at the large number of runner beans, and…
pasta with meatballs and courgettes
Using up: sausagemeat Apologies for the lack of posting – Pete and I have been laid low from the lurgy, and very little has been happening in the cooking department. We made the last of the goose into a risotto, and then we had macaroni cheese on Wednesday – one of the best comfort foods…
cabbage, bacon and mozzarella
We seem to have a cabbage glut – two of them in the fridge at the start of the week, which is bad planning. I mandolined half of one on Monday for this week’s soup, so only one and a half to go … There were a few bits (I couldn’t call them rashers, really)…
sausage supper
using up: polish sausage Pete is very fond of kabanos sossidge for his luncheon, which we buy in bulk from Costco. However, the trip before last, they had no kabanos (and no Beurre Isigny either, which was a bit of a blow), so he bought a few packs of sausage from one of the Polish…
sausage, runner beans and stuff
Using up: runner beans, sausages Apologies for lack of posting – we have been camping for a few days in West Wales, and we should have taken an ark rather than a tent. I brought back three fat butcher’s sausages, and this is what I did. Drizzled the sossidge with a little olive oil, and…
