Not home grown, sadly. But from a village maybe 10 miles at most from us. I went past the shop just as they were being delivered. Twenty minutes later, they'd already sold kilos and kilos. Everyone in our village waits for the cherries from this village. They are absolutely fantastic. 5 euros a kilo, but money well spent. Next year, when I'm retired..., I'll buy loads for preserves and jam.

Late dinner as there was so much gardening and DIY to do... But I'm just cooking a spring veg risotto with broad beans, leeks, mushrooms and asparagus

[greenishfing]

Due to the fact that the new air fryer us supposedly being delivered this morning, and I want to try it out, I think we'll have scampi, chips and peas with homemade tartare sauce.

Strawberries and cream.

[Snoop Puss]

Meatballs with pasta. Some kind of fruit for afters. More cherries if there are any left in the shops when Mr Snoop gets there. If not, fresh pineapple.

No idea at all.
Can't be bothered in all honesty

I have a feeling it’ll be a skip dive job into the freezer and see what needs eating up.
Failing that, a egg salad butty

[Nicos]

Simple result…. I’m defrosting a Spag Bol I made for the camper only the other day…I can always make another few over the next few weeks.

I do love my freezers….I guess they are the nearest thing to a takeaway when you live almost in the middle of nowhere.
Defrosted bread for breakfast too!

I'm thinking of making a scallop and some kind of veg risotto tomorrow. I have very little experience with cooking scallops. Does anyone know if it's better to fry the scallops quickly and add them to the risotto at the end or add them raw, direct to the risotto to poach in the the liquid at the end.
