I received this photo from my husband while I was enjoying an end of holidays caravan trip with my Mum and the children. While we were taking it easy, he was slogging away, clearing a large patch of our allotment. In theory, there will be fruit trees in there soon (don’t hold your breath, we’ve had them three years).
Courgette and goats cheese soup, more or less as per Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall’s River Cottage year. I’m just glad to be using some more monster courgettes. They keep on coming.
My Mother-in-Law brought me 10lb of damsons from the Lyth Valley in Cumbria at the weekend. I was very happy to have them. I enjoyed looking at them and thinking about how tasty they would be when turned into jam and gin. I must confess that the epic batch of jam making was not so much fun. Removing the stones from that many damsons is a real pain.
I finally served up a very special potato to my husband. Ah, love is a mutant root vegetable.
I made damsom jam once and never again. Oh, my the stones! I have never thought of courgette soup, will store that one away, as you say almost impossible to use them up.
btw have left you a reply on my pregnancy post.
Got it thanks. I should have said I hope your pebbles fill up soon. Take a look at ‘Thistledown Dreams’ I think they have blogged a courgette and carrot soup. A friend of mine keeps recommending courgette and ginger jam but I just don’t fancy it. Mine are becoming cake more often than not.
