using up: cooked belly pork Last Sunday, i.e. a week ago, we had roast belly pork with fennel seeds, and very nice it was too. I wrapped the remains in some aluminium foil and put it in the fridge for later in the week, and then promptly forgot all about it, to my shame. I…

duck surprise*
It seems daft to tell you how to make a stir fry – you all know how to make a stir fry, surely?! But they are great ways of Using Things Up, so I do try to write them up.
We bought an organic duck on Sunday at the farm shop at Puxton Park – it could not be described as cheap, and I know that there’s not much eating on a duck, but this one cost thirteen quid, and did us one roast meal, and some scrapeens (Irish word).

broccoli stirfry
Another of those deceptively simple meals, which take less time than required to phone for a pizza. Take some (lots?) of broccoli, remove the florets from the stems, and boil/simmer/steam for about seven minutes. Drain. Peel and chop some garlic – we like Lots, so we did about four fat cloves; you might not want…
