Veggielicious
We’ve joined an organic vegetable box scheme which means every Thursday a wonderful box of fresh vegetables arrives. All are grown within the region, so nothing has to travel too far. This week our box contained potatoes, carrots, onions, a brussel sproutstalk, chard and parsnips. (We also ordered mushrooms and cherry tomatoes as extras.)
Getting sprouts on a stalk is quite something. It looks rather alien and more like an implement of destruction rather than something good to eat. Supposedly brussels still on a stalk will stay fresh longer.
This week we’ll be eating lots of soup and roast veggies. I’m also going to try my hand at sag aloo which sounds like it might be a great way to use up all the chard.
Current temperature: here 6C/43F, there 36F/2C
