JAs - tonight cooked a JA/Red Onion bake (delish), and a JA in cheese sauce (yum). Will do individual thanks for recipes tomorrow.

Next door neighbour is 18 and doing catering, she sent round leek and potato soup tonight in return for JA recipes tomorrow, so will be a bit of a taste fest.

Wierd JAs, so easy to grow and so lovely raw - just nutty like water chestnuts. But so many to deal with I had to cook them because I don't think they would freeze raw .... however may try that just to see.

I dug them up on Monday, by today they were sprouting! Last year I had to cut them down to 4' tall because they were blowing over, the books said that would reduce yield!!

Still, can't complain. Must see if they will ferment?!
