Welcome, Jo
I’d like to welcome Jo Hopkinson as a new author at Food Adventure. Jo is an old friend of mine, who has followed and encouraged my food writings, but I know has a lot to contribute herself.

As someone who BBQs a lot for unpredictable numbers, I am used to using up cooked burgers and bangers. One of the things I like about slow-smoked burgers is that they end up moist enough that they reheat well in a microwave the next day.
On the way back from an Easter break in Glasgow, I followed a friend’s advice and stopped off at the M6 Motorway Services at Tebay. These are one of the rare services that are not part of a chain – Tebay Services have a long history, excellent home-style food, and a brilliant farm shop.
This is not really intended as a recipe; although feel free to use it that way. This is simply the first of several cooks that I am going to document, so I have something to refer back to.
Sorting out my cupboards, freezer and my conservatory, which has also been doing service as a larder during the winter.
I had the morning off today, so I thought I would go out in the sun and dig over a couple of my veg troughs, ready for spring planting. The veg troughs being waist height (well, hip height on me) it is fairly kind to the back, using a hand fork and trowel.
Some readers will be aware of my dalliances with arduino-based temperature controllers, particularly for the BBQ.
Experiments with my new coffee maker are going well. Initially, I had some issues with the temperature of the coffee coming out of the machine – fine if you drank it immediately, but it quickly went luke warm. I was almost considering returning it for a refund.
Over the last year, I have considered getting myself a pod coffee system. I don’t drink a lot of coffee – I am a seasoned tea drinker, and dislike instant coffee. However, I do like the occasional cup of expresso, and when working at home, I sometimes neglect myself with regard to drinks if I am too busy to go down to the kitchen to get a brew on. So I thought a small machine in my office would be ideal.
