I love Lemon Curd. I like it as a baking ingredient, I frequently use it instead of jam, on a piece of bread, and a spoonful really brightens up a plain yoghurt. Yes, it is packed full of sugar, but used in moderation, I don’t see much wrong with it.
Since my last post, I really haven’t spent much time in the garden – between an injured leg (now recovered), a vacation, and – most recently – a bad cold, I have really been neglecting the poor thing. Taking a walk around today, I feel shamed.
I harvested my last broad beans over 3 weeks ago, but have only just cleared the trough for further planting. Remembering to cut all the stems just above ground level, leaving the roots in place. This evening I’ll dig them well in, as they contain lots of valuable nitrogen.
This morning, I felt like having a small cooked breakfast. I had some eggs and some black pudding, but didn’t have any sausage.
Last month I posted about trying to find a brand of lemonade that didn’t contain artificial sweeteners. To my surprise I found that even the non-diet versions contained both sugar and sweeteners.
I’m usually very good at blowing my own trumpet about how good my home-smoked pulled pork is.
As I haven’t been completely healthy the last month or so, I have been concentrating on essential tasks in the garden and about the house; to the neglect of doing fancy stuff with food. As a result, it has been a while since I last did some cold smoking.
Looks like no matter what else I am eating this week, it will be with a side order of fava beans. Unless, that is, I blanch and freeze them.
I mentioned Moor Farm Meats the other day. I went out for a drive to day and found it – it’s fair to say that it’s not a place you would find unless you were looking for it.
I was listening to an interview on Radio 4’s Today show about how – as part of a plan to try and reduce the average Brit’s sugar intake, the major drink suppliers had already cut down on sugar in fizzy drinks by 5%, and were being pushed to do more.
