Having been told by Ants that Burford Brown eggs were pretty damn fine I grabbed some when I saw them yesterday. I had one earlier andI am happy to confirm that she is right. <'course I'm right' says Ants rolling her eyes and sighing heavily> They are a truly 'eggy' egg and although they are not ginormous, somehow the egg wasn't gone after a couple of spoonfuls. Most satisfying! Here the girls and their eggs   Now go and buy some! |

"Did you see that?" said Stoat, sniffily "What's that My Love, My Little Adorable Fluffy Furry Paws" replied Badger, indulgently. "That Mort only queried Ants' culinary expertise afore she was converted to the True Faith of the Burford Browns' eggs!" "Scandalous" sighed Badger, "But she lives in North Lunnon remember, don't 'spect she sees many chickens, couldn't tell a Burford Brown from an Orpington Buff probably " he said returning once more to The Times Crossword. "10 across. A dish combining smoked salmon and eggs which is served in five towns?" "Omelette Arnold Bennett" snarled Stoat "Blimey, I thought crosswords were supposed to be hard?" Badger, for once, was speechless. |

A successful visit to the local farmers' market this morning - and a big haul of rhubarb currently being made into rhubarb and ginger crumble. Preceded by roast local chicken and lots of local Sussex veg.

Which farmers' market is that, PW? <always on lookout for good local stuff> Middle Farm market, over beyond Lewes (so not really that local), third Sunday of each month. Actually a bit thin yesterday, and my favourite veg stall wasn't there, but still a useful trip. Now in preparation - borscht, with beetroot from the same market. |

Thanks, PW! I've been to the Middle Farm shop many times, but hadn't noticed they had a regular market. Good to know.

We have a farmers' market on the first Thursday of every month but I remain to be convinced re. quality and price. I've only been a couple of times so I'll try again next time. I thought it was very expensive for what it was.

Hearty veg soup with garlic ciabatta - very nice though I say it myself!
Unimaginative, simple ingredients: onion, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, courgettes, mushrooms, half tube tom puree, 2 Kallo stock cuboids(!), can of baked beans (as I've run out of other beans and I used lentils in the last soup) and spaghetti snapped into very short lengths. Oh, and a load of water! Half-blended so some veg still in pieces but nice and thick. Grated mild cheddar to sprinkle on top.
I had one of those bake-it-yourself-in-10mins ciabatta loaves so I made some garlic butter, sliced the loaf and spread the slices before baking it. Very yummy, even though the garlic remained slightly raw! I must do double the quantity next time - one loaf isn't enough!

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Nothing burning tonight. I went shopping on Friday before this cold weather arrived and, as a result, I've still got lots of salad veg in the fridge, now starting to get a bit shrivelled. So it's salad for me tonight  I'd much rather have something hot. |

I thought you were a complete veg-head!! <shock emoticom at the thought of innocent fishies being consumed at Millyland> Oh Dear Andy. The thought of you with a wilted salad leaf has brought tears to my eyes. Could you not shove the lettuce into the micro with some peas and onions? Like the French do? |

I thought you were a complete veg-head!! <shock emoticom at the thought of innocent fishies being consumed at Millyland> I'm not a complete veg-head unless I'm on my own. I'll eat fish occasionally, although I'd rather not usually. It was a pack of two salmon fillets so I did have one on this occasion - not without a fair amount of guilt I have to say. I buy meat in for the child though because growing children need a lot of protein, but I just cook that for him and I always do loads of veg to have with it - which is what I have. Besides I don't agree with pressurising people to agree with my beliefs. Sob  |

That salmon sound terrific to me, Milly, but then I'm a  Just to report that, after all that, I didn't get to cook Mort's Moishe Lamb this weekend after all. Couldn't get the right cut since the local butcher (this is WALES, look you!) is just too naff. I did score some fresh spring lamb cutlets off him, mind. Boy that stuff is good! Nomnomnom. |
