Thursday 25th September - ???

 What shall I blog about today?

Do you want to know what we had for lunch? M and S chicken and cashew nuts, with a Tilda microwave rice and a home made from scratch vegetable medley of thinly sliced carrots and quartered sprouts, cooked for 5 mins in a little butter, and then braised in some vegetable stock along with an elderly tomato which had seen better days, skinned and chopped. Surprisingly delicious.  I was enjoying my new word for the day, detritivore, courtesy of jabblog's post today as I prepped the tomato, wondering if detritivore soup was a better name for what I usually call 'Saturday soup' and others call 'fridge bottom' soup...

I stood looking in the fridge this morning trying to fathom out what on earth I had been thinking of when I created this week's grocery order back on Tuesday morning. We'll manage; one just have to have an inventive, creative and open-minded attitude to what might make a good meal...

Anyway, I'm still no nearer having any clue of a suitable topic for a blog post, so I'll leave you with a favourite limerick...

There was an old man of Japan,

Whose limericks wouldn't always quite scan.

There was also the line 

Which didn't quite rhyme

So I'd best stop as soon as I possibly can.


There.

Writing a blogpost wasn't so hard after all.

  1. We had ham and tomato sandwiches followed by a fox's chocolate biscuit, we are not quite ready for soups yet. The tomato was home grown.

    1. Ham and tomato, and cheese and tomato sandwiches are very underrated in my view. A homegrown tomato makes all the difference!

  2. Similar sarnies here. But some of my toms needed using up as they were picked a while ago. I'm making a batch of onion and tomato sauce in the slow cooker.

  3. Ha, I like the limerick! We get a Riverford organics box every two weeks and we often end up cooking random meals with what we get. The Kohlrabi was a low point!
