We’ve joined an organic vegetable box scheme<\/a> 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.) <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
