We had the final two bean burgers tonight, served up with salad, mayonnaise, ketchup and a soft white roll. Julia’s was a little dry, despite the mayo. Mine was nice and moist. The difference between the two was that she had the one that I hadn’t dropped in the washing up bowl. That’s what happens when you work in a cramped space and don’t tidy up as you go.
Luckily I was able to grab it quickly and dry it with kitchen paper. It was good, but even if it did produce a nice moist burger it’s not a technique I’ll be recommending.
No pictures – we ate it before I remembered.
We will be having soup for lunch tomorrow, and at least one other day. I made a big pan of it yesterday. It’s sweet potato, butternut squash, chilli and ginger. Initial tests indicate it’s tasty and I’m likely to have clear sinuses by the end of the week. Chilli and ginger are both good for you so I’m starting to add more to all my recipes.
After drawing a blank last night I found a fully-stocked offal section at the supermarket today and now have the sheep hearts I need for hearts and plum sauce. I also have plums, though I’m feeling guilty about buying out of season Chilean plums.
Strange that I could buy plums but couldn’t buy Bramley apples. Even stranger, when looking at the cheese TESCO stocks four sorts of goat’s milk cheese but only two sorts of Stilton. Even if you accept goat’s milk cheese as proper cheese there’s no excuse for only stocking two sorts of Stilton when we’re in the geographically protected area.
Soup testing sounds like it went well. Butternut squash soup is always a favorite in our house.
Always a favourite here too.
I like goats’ cheese a lot but as I like Stilton too, I share your pain on the cheese buyer’s priorities. Considering how much good British cheese there is around these days, the stock on supermarket shelves is generally pathetic.
They haven’t had Lancashire for two weeks now, but they do have Leerdammer, Emmental and Bavarian smoked. Which are all just flavours of rubber.
You have my sympathy.
Thank you. This sort of thing would not happen if previous governments had acted on my urging to establish a Dairy Product Directorate.
Yes, one does wonder about the purchasing decisions of Tesco et al. Do people really prefer goats cheese to Stilton?
I’m not the best person to ask as I have always considered goats’ milk cheese to be an abomination rather than a comestible.
Same here!
