Long-time no blog
Dear readers. Apologies. I have been extra busy with work, family, golf, Christmas, eating and allotments. A great deal has happened, where should I start? First, the veg boxes. On
8th, 15th and 22nd. We got Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Leeks, Butternut Squash, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Parsnips and of course sprouts. Unfrotunately, we were sent a letter detailing the Christmas box, but we did not get the red cabbage as promoised.
At Christmas I got the Jamie Oliver Italian book and Nigel Slater's "Thjis week..." book (Kitchen Diaries). They are both excellent. I have made three things from Jamie's book already (Tomato and Pasta bake, Aubergine and Onion thingey, Cauliflower risotto).
Christmas dinner I made:
1. Scallops with orange and Cognac (fried sliced scaollops with cream, Cognac, orange juice, and grilled tinned tangerines with pepper) - 'twas excellent.
2. Roast tatties with Rosemary, Roast parsnips and carrots, sprouts with onion, lime and ginger, a red wine gravy. N and I had layers of mushrooms (fried in butter) tomatoes, and Roquefort cheese). Siomple and excellent.
3. N made a Baileys' cheesecake with cream.
Then we had a Christmas pudding and cheese (Un-pasturised Brie, creamy Lancashire, Wensleydale, Stilton and Stincking Bishop). The SB was very smelly and very nice, from the Good Food Shop.
