    Lots of :j happening in jellyland.

    I picked the florets off my brocolli plants yesterday evening. There was a load. The freezer has a significant amount in it. Meal planning is occurring...:drool:

    I also picked my very first ever courgette!:j What amazed me, was how it went from a small fruit, to a pick me now quickly fruit!:eek:

    So I'm now asking the nice people for recipes including courgettes in them.
    Couple of pointers: I don't eat red meat (except mince dishes). I have a nut allergy. I'm not a big onion or garlic fan. All suggestions welcome!:drool:
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    My two favourite ways of eating courgettes are as part of a ratatouille and quickly fried in tempura batter with a dip (along with broccoli florets - two for one). Yum! Sorry, not really a recipe person, tend to make it up as I go along.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Think yourself lucky you didn't post that you were broke. This lass has built a website with a shopping list, meal plan and recipes to feed a family of 2 adults and 2 teens for £100 a month. It meets all the Government recommendations for healthy eating too. She's now working to get it down to £75 :eek:


    Wonderful place MSE :D

    A few miles north of here, they still do the traditional stooks with the corn.

    What are they playing at? Perhaps it is really a crop of straw for thatching.

    Yes. A lot of reed comes in from Eastern Europe, but not everyone wants that.
