What’s for dinner?

To conclude our day of food, I thought I’d show what happens when the Other Half, a vegetarian, says “a pile of veg would be okay for dinner”.

A quick search through the freezer threw up broad beans and peas from last summer, plus the last parsnips from last spring.

A journey out to the hayshed resulted in eight Edzell Blue potatoes, while a rummage through the store cupboard shelves turned up the last of the summer’s butternut squash.

Brrrrrrr!

The usual suspects! When I went out to feed the pigs and lock the chickens up for the night, I found the usual two ISA Browns still hanging about outside. It might have been windy, snowing and cold but these two are always the last to go in.

What’s for morning tea?

It’s Saturday morning and you feel like a sweet treat to go with your cup of tea.

You could nip out to the shops and buy a piece of mass-produced confectionery, or you could have some fun with your children and make something special.

Well, you didn’t think we’d take the first option did you?

The weather is looking interesting…

The Met Office had been forecasting snow showers with up to 10cm of snow accumulating on ground above 150m.

Not any more.
