About Me

Name: bjg

This blog is about eating and drinking, shopping and cooking. Shopping, as far as possible, is done outside supermarkets: the weekly local market is the main source of food with occasional large purchases from specialist suppliers. Most cookery books consider cooking without shopping. But for most consumers shopping is done once a week; that means that menus have to be planned for the week, allowing for use of leftovers: for instance, a roast chicken on Sunday provides leftovers for a second meal and the bones provide stock for a soup or a risotto. Cooking is an evening meal for at least two adults: it has to be cooked fairly quickly. Weekend cooking can be more elaborate, and there will be occasional elaborate meals. Food is generally organic, seasonal, local. Local non-organic beats imported organic: fewer air-miles, more support for local growers, less damage to the environment. Cuisine, if it can be so called, is British/Irish, with occasional exotic influences. Favourite drinks are beer, wine, whiskey and whisky.

Thursday
==========
Made a salad sort of thing: mass of cous-cous with

- Welsh oak-smoked sea salt
- the juice of half a lemon
- a tin of anchovies, chopped small
- seven dry-cured rashers, fried and chopped finely
- two small onions, finely sliced
- numerous french beans, cooked and chopped
- numerous cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- a fresh fig, diced (in so far as anything so soft can be diced)
- the remains of the parsley, finely chopped.

Ate some bread with the remains of the country butter; must get more.
