Foody I am

When a girl is left alone all day and most of the evening, what can she do but make herself the most gorgeous bread and butter pudding? My other half was away at a party, so I was left alone to create a culinary concoction to be proud of. I am also craving puddings at the moment, so excuse the multiple-pudding-posts that will follow.

I also harvested a cornucopia of Jerusalem artichokes (don't they look wonderful?) and tomatoes. I'm not entirely sure what to do with the Jerusalem artichokes, apart from eat them sparingly, as I've heard they cause ...ahem... a rumbly tummy (think baked beans). But the more you eat, the more you get used to them, or so I'm told! Perhaps a soup might be a good thing, or maybe just as an extra vegetable. I do remember when my mother and I were getting organic veg boxes one of the recipes that came in the box was a Jerusalem artichoke and cider casserole ~ I might dig that out and have a go! The small ones have been left in the soil and I've been promised that they'll come up again next year - one can hope!

Oh, it's also the Bloggers' Breakfast today (or any day you can join in, of course!) which I'm insanely excited about because Robyn and I (and anyone else who wants to join in) can share a meal together. Yum.

Jerusalem artichokes, I love them, sometimes they don't love me. I usually roast mine with parsnips and carrots, with a little honey dribbled over them. Sometimes they can give you quite bad stomach pains, I warn you, but they are gorgeous and yummy. My husband always says you can't beat a bread and butter pudding. I make it for him, thought I am not too keen on it, I prefer home made rice pudding,

She can often be found outside, in the garden with her faithful doggy companion, and a cup of tea. Reading is a pasttime that she enjoys muchly, so too is moving furniture around. She writes haiku about nettles, would like to swim with seals and become completely self-sufficient.
