ONE MAN'S QUEST NOT TO LET THE RANDOM STUFF IN HIS VEG BOX GO MOULDY. TRYING TO BE A BIT HEALTHIER, A BIT GREENER AND EAT A BIT TASTIER
Yesterday I did this - York 100, for Action Medical Research. I'd recommend this for people who are much fitter and better at cycling than I am. This dominated my weekend and my culinary delights were reduced to: - pre-ride: masses of pasta - du (read full article)
With potatoes, it seems like I'm progressing backwards. Two years ago - by fluke I got it nearly right. This year, I've reaped both my first earlies and 2nd earlies. Both have been fairly disappointing. The 2nd's looked ready - the tops of the plant (read full article)
Another week, another veg box and another mystery squash. I still don't think it looks much like a marrow - marrows are bigger and more stripey.It went very nicely in the Vegetable Stifado though - so, whatever it is, it's all good. Feel the love fr (read full article)
This week has seen and change in my Veg Box delivery. I move from a medium Veg box, to a mixed box as we'd been wasting too many of the leaves that came. The mixed box includes more summery items, such as lettuces, peppers, tomatoes and herbs. Satu (read full article)
Muses: Man Ray had Lee Miller, Warhol had Edie Sedgewick, George Harrison had Patti Boyd, Eric Clapton had Patti Boyd too and Capello has Emile Ivanhoe Heskey. Last week, I found myself with an unlikely muse for inspiration; the former consort of sad (read full article)
It's been a little while since I posted my gardening progress. I have gigantism of the courgette and truly massive lettuce - so massive in fact it no longer looks like a lettuce. I gave one huge lettuce away to a lady at work who has a rabbit: but ap (read full article)
Saturday was super sunshiiiiinny, and I was struck by a desire to go and pick my own Strawberries. I'm not quite sure why, it's not sometihng I've done since I was forced into it as a child. Twenty quite good fun minutes later I had a carton of the b (read full article)
This is more of a gardening post than a cooking one. The garden is blooming and I'm starting to reap the crops. Here are two very simple salads: Cherry Tomato, Lettuce and Basil Potato salad with mint and chives The only items in these not straigh (read full article)
Who wins, Harry would say "Fiiiiiiiight!". However knocking up a video of two men fighting in a Onion suit and a Garlic suit would be a little excessive for a fairly simple blog posting. In this case though, the winner is much clearer to cal (read full article)
This is as it says on the tin really. More of a starter kind of meal, or a light bite. Really really simple to do, less than half an hour including the 20 minutes cooking time. So simple, I can't believe I've not blogged this before - might have some (read full article)
I've made this before and it was declared a roaring success. So, I had all requisite ingredients I approached with confidence and without recourse to googling "Simple risotto recipes". Recipe: 1) Taking my Butternut squash, I halved and de-seeded it (read full article)
I know food bloggerers ought to be all real ale and organic cider etc, but for me I've very excited to have (re)found this. Yes, yes I know it's only Budweiser. And I am a marketing man's dream. But look, it's a bottle made out of tin. A can-bottle (read full article)
It's been something of a strange week weather wise - which has led me to this strange unseasonal, but I'd claim still wholly successful concoction. On saturday it was sunny, so with BBQ's in mind, I bought some pork belly strips - thinking maybe a li (read full article)
I was bumbling around the kitchen struggling to think what to cook, when I saw the breadmaker and hit upon the idea of pizza's. Possible if I'd looked in the drawer and found Domino's number then I might still have had pizza for T but with a lot less (read full article)
What's going on here..... a recipe on a gardening blog? Although I'm relaxed and raring to go after my holidays, my cooking imagination/mojo is still lingering in Greece. This week's Veg Box was though a gift: Pak Choi. In my head Pak Choi = Stir Fr (read full article)
Such is my rock n roll lifestyle these days, that I found myself watching Gardeners World on Friday night. I'd just planted out my tomatoes. In my simple head, I'd presumed it was enough to put tomatoes into soil. Oh no, apparently, it's better: dev (read full article)
I've finally returned to bloggerising after my holidays and making it through the Ash Cloud. In a news update of all things:1) I managed to stand up at least for a little while water-skiing. Unexpected!2) The Ash Cloud just resulted in our havi (read full article)
Well, we aren't all going. I am though. I'll be following the heard; down to Greece. Again. I'll be here: This could be me Water-skiing:Apart from the fact this bloke is stood up. Be back in a fortnight - more gardening/vegetable cooking based no (read full article)
I realise people could be starting to think this was a gardening blog, so long has it been since I've posted any cooking. The trouble is recently I've only eaten things I've posted several times already and so, well I've just err not bothered. (read full article)
Yesterday I was *cough* working from home (lucky me; I do realise). I had myself a lunchtime amble and on the way back on the pavement near my house there were some bunches of Chives with roots and a little sign next to them saying "Chives, pl (read full article)
