    Sea Vegetables

    I'd read people elsewhere championing these. Locally we get samphire (glasswort) which is droolworthy a bit like saline asparagus, but has a rather short season. I discovered our Organic Shop does various sea vegetables in the Japanese section and have been trialling various things, mostly...

    Hair Shirt Day

    Big whoopsie yesterday. The folks who come round to clean the gutters and windowframes etc. turned up unexpectedly yesterday morning, which put me off my stride a bit. When the visitors we *were* expecting turned up and took us out for a pub lunch I forgot my meter. I had a half of bitter and...

    Anyone Watch Horizon?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00hbsk2 Had some interesting stuff, predominantly about obesity or the lack thereof.

    Woodcock

    Any ideas for cooking these? I found some in the butcher's today. I expect I will roast them wrapped in bacon for maybe half an hour as they are like tiny partridges. The butcher suggested casseroling them.

    The Spinach Is Back!

    <leaps around like Steve Martin in The Jerk> Up until recently we were getting some pretty excellent frozen spinach in the Co-Op. Then it vanished from the shelves. No-one could tell us if this was an end of season thing or a permanent change. The stuff from the farm shop wasn't a fraction as...

    Exercise After Eating

    This comes from a question on another forum where we have one of those exercise fanatics who actually does seem able to control on a high carb diet and masses of exercise (there are a few who are genuine but they are generally outnumbered by those folks for whom carb control is #1 factor) Now I...

Added some horse mushrooms and chopped streaky bacon and let it sort of simmer in its own juice until it had dried out and started frying (a sprinkle of black pepper helped). Served with a big head of broccoli (calabrese) boiled until al dente...
