What did you eat today?

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....!

Hey Trousers hows about posting your home made sweet chilli sauce?! got a thai chilli sauce somewhere will dig it out

[wellie]

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?

[Biscombe]

Cheers Wellie XXXX I'll post the thai one too

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.

Yesterday I was soooo excited to find new potatoes in the greenhouse border! I think what happened was that my 'Christmas' new potatoes got frosted and in haste I simply chucked the 'spent' compost in the greenhouse.
So, for dinner this evening we had garlic-fried hoki fillets with new potatoes (MINE!), French beans (from the freezer, but originally from our garden) and parsley sauce (parsley from the garden). It was delish!
