Fish and salad? Fish and salad? Really? That was Himself's response Nicos, he sounded like Peter Kay

Loved that Flo

Nicos Do you make the banana ice cream and if so, how please?

Sort of made up but basically chopped up frozen bananas ( about 4) teaspoon of vanilla if you wish, drop of milk, yog or cream ( you can guess which I use!) and zap with a stick blender. Pop back into the freezer until you are ready to use.
Tonight we are having this but with strawberries from the garden blended into it.
You can add anything so long as it’s not too liquid.
The banana flavour is quite dominant so play around with what you think works.
Peanut butter works well, chopped chocolate, ginger biscuits, blackcurrants
We often have bananas spare from the gites so rather than let any go brown I just bung them into the freezer until I have enough.
The skins get cut off before the flesh is chopped into chunks and I add them to a big jar of water to make banana skin ‘tea ‘ feed for the plants.( dilute 1part to 4 with more water ) Takes about a week- two to make.

Waste not want not eh?

Love homemade pasta Bren - utterly Devine!

I’ve seen locals eating just pasta with butter - nothing else - it’s considered a bit of a comfort food. And why not if it’s home made?
