What are you cooking now?

[Richard Tarleton]

One of those recipes has got condensed milk in it!

They had squirrels at our farmers' market a few months ago. The sign on them said 'Greys of course'.

Here's George Monbiot preparing a squirrel on Newsnight. Hugh Fearlessly-Eatsitall has a promising-looking recipe.

And talking of Monbiot, a recent book of his recommended 'rewilding' such areas as the Cambrian Mountains - with woodland and wild animals such as lynx, bear and wolf. This attracted the anger of upland sheep farmers (Monbiot apparently dislikes sheep).

A propos: the Coop had Cambrian Mountains lamb chops yesterday, so lunch will be an old-fashioned 'meat and two veg' (though it may be three or four veg as I'm not great on potatoes. And as I had a £2 voucher, I spent £2 more on the bottle of wine: a Côtes de Bordeaux, normally £9.49. Still supermarket stuff, but suits me

Sounds like a recipe for a profound snooze this afternoon, ff

Chris Packham incurred the wrath of Welsh sheep farmers, inc. the President of the NFU recently, for saying much the same. He (Mr Raymond) responded by saying the Welsh uplands needed more, not fewer, sheep .

Here - just done my favourite red cabbage recipe, cooked in advance for eating tonight.

It was good. I had leeks (of course) and the first sprouts which appeared in the greengrocers yesterday

Yes, but Dr Ieuan Joyce (commissioned by the NFU - but after all, they are the ones who feel under attack) did conclude that if there had been more sheep grazing, there would be less purple moor grass, and that is a bigger cause of the loss of biodiversity (I suspect this debate should be somewhere else!).

Ah, red cabbage …

This was the very wine (looks as if the local mark-up was near the top . Provinces, eh!). But it went well through the main course and the last bit of sticky Époisses. Merited a small glass of Rémy Martin with the coffee …

Cooking fresh sardines (well, Mrs Oven is, I'm preparing the raki). Will have with a tomato, rocket, lettuce etc salad.

Moroccan lamb and Lemon soup.
Brilliant recipe this.

( recipe is for chicken, but lamb is better, using a single neck fillet today.)

Nothing just at this precise moment. But friend Paolo from the pizzeria round the corner has lent me (well, 'lent' is probably the wrong word here), anyway, has lent me half a kilo of pizza flour. Looking forward to trying this out as a change from the mix of strong bread flour and plain flour from the Coop. That makes quite a tasty dough, but not like Italian. Bit yeasty.

Chickpea and courgette curry.

i would have made some chapatis with Gram flour, but I couldn't decide which recipe to use as I haven't cooked them before.

Ginastera quartets and Lager to go with.

Yum

there really is no substitute for quiche.

Yes, that was why I wanted to do the chapatis, as I feel very left out.

culturally.

And cuisinally.

thanks for the help on the chapatis, by the way.

( had to move onto the Missa Solemnis now).

Porcini Risotto (by popular demand). Listening to Webern on the cans (because Webern is not popular in my household).

Try weaning them on to it with the beautiful Sommerwind. As for the risotto, accompany with a glass or two of Viognier - no doubt there are those who will say you should have Gavi or something similar.

I find a glass of Barolo or Tignanello does just fine. In this case, I had a glass of chilled apple juice.

Trying out Slimming World. Not bad. Had a fry up today!

Nah, white goes better! Apple juice fine though.
