Had the last of some tomato and chilli chutney I made with the tail end greenhouse crop last summer with some fish cakes tonight - thought I'd made far too much but obviously will have to make more this year!

| That stir fry I made with spring onions...they weren't onions, cos I just now found them still on the plot. What I actually dug up and cooked were immature garlic plants! Interesting flavour, if a little tough

| We had our first home-made and home grown produce yesterday, a rhubarb crumble to follow our tea! Rhubarb was sweet, delicately flavoured and reminiscant of champagne, absolutely gorgeous, especially with a decent helping of custard too! First produce out of the plot that we've had this year, delish!!

| Well it was yesterday actually, Potatoes from store, shallots, tomatoes from the freezer, purple sprouting broccoli with Liver. Given that I can buy a whole liver for about 3 yes 3 euros, which will fees us 6 times, with the scraggy bits for the cats, not was it only a very cheap meal but delish Followed by rhubarb from the garden. CK had never tasted forced rhubarb before and came back for seconds. As he doesn't like 'healthy' things it must have been good

| OK, given that I forgot to look at my mushrooms growing under the kitchen units for a couple of days, we took a photo for the blog that I'm enjoying so much(!) and then cut all of the mushrooms, most of which will give us an addition to a lovely cooked breakfast on Saturday.... Before that, tonight, I cooked the smaller ones, chopped in with a few shallots and garlic (all home-grown) with a chicken breast and eeny-weeny-roast potatoes with a sherry and home-made wholegrain mustard sauce. It seemed to be 'passable' as far as Trousers was concerned....!

| Biscombe, I can wake him if you'd like me to, but honestly, he wouldn't know the recipe of the sweet chilli sauce if it bit him on the bum, because I made it....! He was just 'dribbling' graciously, and I'll dig out the recipe for you this week, but really, don't hold your breath, it's not out of the ordinary or anything. PM me if I forget?

| Cabbage, cabbage and cabbage. Our spring cabbages have 'hearted', so on Friday I made coleslaw with 1.2 cox apple, 1 onion, 1 carrot and homegrown cabbage heart. I small spoon of mayo and it tasted lovely with a jacket potato. Today I'm going to try making cabbage bhajee. Fry a chopped onion and some garlic with a tsp of turneric, take out the middle of cabbage leaves and chop them fine, then sautee it all in a knob of butter. See if it turns out anything like the spinach.
