What did you eat today?

[Alison]

Had soup for lunch which contained some carrots from the garden as well as varied herbs (added some chicken stock, lentils, onion and swede but hadn't grown those) and for tea tonight the salad was all home grown although it's the last cucumber and even though the toms still seem to be flowering, am sure the frost will do for those soon also.

Too much

[sewer rat]

Organic Turnip and Roast Garlic Soup with Rye Bread and organic butter, a couple of glasses of just pressed apple juice and one of carrot juice. Never thought carrot juice would be tasty - and I was right - revolting

[Hazel at the Hill]

That's ok as long as it was all from the plot, Nick - as everyone knows, the calories obtained from home grown veg are all offset by the effort put in to grow them!

[Flummery]

We had parsnips and kale - first of the season and really gorgeous. Also mashed pumpkin and broadies (although the broadies were from the freezer, they were still home grown.) Smug mode.

Mmm.....we had roast dinner with allotment potatoes, parsnips, leeks, courgettes and beans - delish!

[kentvegplot]

Spuds, cabbage and rainbow chard with the roast dinner. Apples and mincement tart to follow (didn't make my own mincemeat though)

[Winged one]

Was supposed to have our own peas yesterday, but we decided to leave them another week for enough to feed all 3 of us at dinner time. But we did have our own onions and garlic in the chilli OH has cooked for tonight (bit of a lean time right now due to bad planning last spring - but we do have crops for later in the winter, mainly brassicas but they will be our own!! And plenty of onions and garlic plaits in the shed).

Spurious?

But I made Trousers a Risotto this evening from a homemade Salmon Chowder in the freezer, because I was so knackered I couldn't get my brain to offer up anything more adventurous. It worked wonderfully, as to start it off I sweated off some banana shallots and florence fennel, added the arborio rice, the white wine, the stock, bunged it in the oven, added some late-grown sugarsnaps, yellow pattypan squash, and the salmony/sweetcorny/soupy-stuff 10 mins before serving, with generous helping of freshly grated parmesan....
And Trousers never complained once.

Growing Parmesan and Salmon Fillets takes real skill, believe me.....

[Nicos]

Carrots and onions and apples.

Can we please have a competition next year for the most multilegged carrot??? One of the ones we pulled yesterday had 7 fat legs!!!! .....and no- the soil had had no compost on it at all this year, and was planted where the sweetcorn had been the previous year!!!

Happiness! We ate my first ever cabbage! It was a red cabbage and was lovely. I boiled it in a little water then added some of Earthbabe's GTC and it was delicious!
