Minced beef stretched with many many veg including chopped yellow courgettes that are normally refused here, plus green tomatoes before the blight spreads any further (definitely my last year of attempting tomatoes), chopped parsnip (was growing in the wrong place), chopped sorrel, onions etc. It's amazing what you can put in with mince, and it still tastes meaty and delicious.

Own potatoes mashed with parsely and horseradish, own green and purple beans. Own raspberries and figs and bought cream.

Same for me today... no car to wait for (I have the bike) but every time I walk to the garage to get it out it pelts down. Stopped again now as I'm in front of the 'puter! :(

Fortunately the spare larder fridge is full of lottie produce so we wont starve. ;)

My carrots, onions and spuds with beef in the slow cooker. :P ;D

Aden Roller · « **Reply #1171 on:** September 11, 2011, 23:33:07 »

Red cabbage, red onions, runner & french beans as well as potatoes and carrots.

With the red cabbage and the onion I had a little ~~play~~ cook in session almost following a recipe that I found on A4A. It tuned out pretty well and made use of the red cabbage I was asked to grow but has been sitting in the larder fridge for too long.

cornykev · « **Reply #1172 on:** September 13, 2011, 05:37:02 »

Steamed carrots, onions and french beans with jacket spuds, salmon and mushrooms. :P :D
