    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    CCP your meals sound awesome, especially the marrow ones - do you grow your own? Also like the sound of the wild boar sausages!
    !

    Sorry for the slow response. :o I do grow my own courgettes / marrows but they've been a bit slow to get going this year (my first ones are still a week or so off edible size even as courgettes :() so this one came from my veg box. The sausages are lovely - I got them from a New Forest-based company at a food festival a few weeks ago, and I wish I'd bought a couple of packs now as I don't suppose I'll be able to get them again any time soon. :(

    I've done a bit of a shuffle around of meals (scampi last night, marrow lasagne tonight, etc) but otherwise I'm sticking to my plan. (All the right meals, just not necessarily in the right order, to mangle a favourite quote! ;))
    Back after a very long break!
