Vegetables – Carsington Water
And, with one blog . . .
This is 81/81.
Assuming I have enough brain cells to remember to post this, I have caught up. Of course, looking at the date, I realise it is now time to panic about my submissions for the end of the month. Fortunately I have managed to do some work on them so I may be OK this month.
Sausage and mash tonight, a favourite staple. later in the week we will be having chestnut and mushroom pie, as it’s time to extend my vegetarian repertoire. I’m also going to be doing a Woolton Pie as part of my WW2 rationing research. Currently, I’m struggling to find photos for my cheese article, so a few photos of wartime recipes will fill some gaps for me. Julia has already refused to eat Kensington Rarebit or Potato Rarebit if I make them, which is, to be honest, a bit of a relief. Kensington Rarebit is OK but mashed potato and grated cheese on toast (aka Potato Rarebit) is only marginally worse than the idea of Cheese and Tomato Kedgeree.
Woolton Pie
Chestnut and Mushroom Pie is a Hairy Bikers recipe, Woolton pie was developed by François Latry, head chef of the Savoy Hotel. I’m becoming more sophisticated as I cook . . .
I must be getting better as I’m interested in cookery again. When I’m ill I lose interest. Even worse, I sometimes become interested and never quite get round to it.
Now I need a strategy for getting ahead of he count. If I can just squeeze in an extra post each week, I will soon have a surplus and will finish with uneven production, but 365/365, which is the objective this year.
Stir Fry Vegetables
Today’s photos are what crop up when I search for “vegetables”. I wish I’d organised my phoos better.

Chestnut and mushroom pie sounds interesting. I make roasted vegetables here from time to time.
We are having the pie tomorrow. I will report back.
🙂
I am about to report on the pie. 🙂
Congratulations on the catch up. That Woolton pie looks good
We will see . . .
I have probably eaten Woolton Pie in my youth but if I did, I can’t remember it.
IT may be a defence mechanism. The ingredients sound OK, but the pictures are not encouraging.
We actually like cheese on potatoes but with two diabetics in the house, we don’t have it very often.
I like cheese and potatoes too, but I’m not sure I’d like them quite as much if I had to make do with 2 ounces of cheese a week (which was reduced to one ounce in 1952). Diabetics were allowed extra meat or cheese (if vegetarian) on surrender of their sugar coupons. 🙂
