[Skinny Ethel]

Got a ham and egg quiche family size so no chips required. Stomachs fermenting am on the bus home which makes the journey scary.

Cauliflower and sugar snap curry. Not sure yet whether with chapattis or rice.

Cotton candy grapes afterwards .

Scratch this! The Button has ordered a deliveroo Some Indian side dishes plus plus garlic naans - yay.

Yesterday we got the train from Cologne to Amsterdam to stay with friends who made an awesome fondue with bread, cauliflower and assorted other stuff for dipping. Had leftovers plus some chicken wings and a chocolate fondue with them for lunch so got home this evening still feeling stuffed.

 

[Epona]

As we have burger buns that need using, I'm having burgers but I'm not sure I'm feeling it.

I've been through a few days of not really fancying much food. (I have been eating, just not very into food atm)

Savoury crumble with leeks, butternut squash, purple carrots and spinach.

 

[sojourner]

Cannellini bean and Savoy cabbage minestrone with toasted sourdough.

Parkin and a brew.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Sounds scrumptious.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Proper autumn food like the sound of savoy cabbage in minestrone. 4 buttered breadbuns to dip in it would do me.

One of the very best things about autumn and winter is the food. It is very lovely, and very good for you too. Here's the recipe if you fancy having a crack at it yourself:

Savoy Cabbage and Bean Minestrone

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 leftover Savoy cabbage (after you’ve removed the green outer layers, or you can use the whole thing), thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, washed and grated
• 1 stick celery, finely chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 litre vegetable stock
• 400g tin of cannellini beans, drained (no need to rinse)
• Rind from parmesan cheese (or a good handful of grated parmesan)
• Sea salt and black pepper
• Couple of small handfuls of soup pasta

1. Gently fry the onion and celery for 3 mins.
2. Add carrot and garlic, and fry for 2 mins.
3. Add cabbage, fry for another 2 mins.
4. Add a pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper.
5. Add stock, parmesan rind/grated parmesan and beans.
6. Bring to boil, then cover and simmer for 30 mins, stirring occasionally.
7. Add soup pasta and simmer for another 10 mins.
8. Partially blend the soup with a stick or jug blender. You want some chunky bits and beans left in.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning to your own tastes.

I harvested a bunch of butternut squashes from my allotment this weekend, so it's smug home-made curried butternut squash soup.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Leftover lamb stew

 

[davesgcr]

Goot meatballs and pasta , garlic bread. Easy dinner as I have been chainsawing (despite my lack of strength) - only did a barrow load but it all helps........

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Had 3 sausages in two breadbuns. Quite shite but there in my belly.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Deliveroo chicken shish

How do you have your kebab?

Even though we get in super late, I've every intention of going and finding one, even if my OH just gets her head down. Covering a fair bit few days in Athens, then driving up to Milina, then to Leptokaria where she can chill for a few days whilst I do Mt Olympus. Then to see those monasteries...
