Veg!

This is one of the pages from an Elizabeth Craig cookery book dating from 1950. The book was given to Andy’s Mum by her sister when she was 21 years old. It’s still a useful book for recipes for things like milk puddings, fruit desserts, sauces, and pancakes! I found this page on blanched and forced vegetables especially interesting given my allotment. The vegetables listed include globe artichokes, green corn, asparagus and sea kale.

A day of dog walks, food shopping and a few hours digging at the allotment where I was pleased to finish the second vegetable bed. The clocks went back last night so it was dark by 5pm tonight and Merlin is very confused as to why is having to wait for his dinner.
