What's for dinner from our garden
« on: June 21, 2008, 18:15:33 »
Various Salad greens with Rose Orach (a new one for us this year, peppery tasting), one small tomato (Polfast) and nasturtium
Snowpeas and sugar snap peas (Cascadia and ?) with Yellow Squash (F1 hybrid Horn Of Plenty)
Parsley (Prezzemolo Gigante d Italia)
Strawberries and Blueberries

But can't claim to have grown the rice or pig.

So lets see a picture of  your ollo rosso,mizuna, and
3'ses.   Haven't a clue what any of those are, Manics.

Just bunged together a potato gratin/toad-in-the-hole combo.

Thinly sliced lotty spuds, put in layers with salt, pepper, parsley (herb garden) and grated cheddar cheese. On the top layer, bang in 8 sausages, with some more cheese, seasoning, and pour 1pt of single cream over the lot.

200c for 1h-1h 1/2, jobs a good one!

PS: And lots of garlic!! ;D

Mnmmmm ... fist of our new spuds today and Friday, freshly dug!  Roast beef with yorks pud and our overwintered onions roasted around it.  Broccoli and carrots (not ours sadly) and rhubarb and strawberry compote (ours!) with orange gingercake, toffee sauce and custard for pud (kids keen on this one!).

Just another couple of weeks to the peas carrots and broad beans .... and the raspberries.... can't wait!

Leave only footprints, take only photographs ....
