A message from a fellow food adventurer

I got this from Ulrike who has also been playing with her food:

"Hello Sarah & Rob,

I've made an adventure with food today: Black Salsify. Abel & Cole have delivered them with the small deluxe box twice in the last three weeks and today we felt adventurous enough to cook them!
You boil them for about half an hour, and then peel the bark-like skin off:

We've eaten them in browned goat's butter & parsley accompanied by an omelette:

Tastes like jerusalem artichoke I find.
According to Jules' research on the internet, salsify was Thomas Jefferson's favourite vegetable!

I don't think it's as adventurous as your purple mushrooms or squirrel stew but I thought I'd share it with you,

Ulrike xx"

Ulrike then reported that she thinks the salsify didnt agree with her too well but maybe it was because it had been sitting in the box for three weeks.

Thanks U!

a Plea for Butter

The one item we are struggling to locate a regular supply for within 100 miles, is butter. Please help! The butter we found so far is either made from the cream on the top of the Duchy Milk or else from a tiny place in sussex that we cant go back to for a while.

Spot the Bugs

Sometimes bugs are spotted: I liked these ones.

Why We Love Weeds

Plants for a Future are like me, advocates of weed gardening. Here's why: http://www.pfaf.org/user/cmspage.aspx?pageid=44 Things have been very intense for the past couple of years while we are setting up home but the garden is beginning to get some attention at last and some of the Goblin's fruits are being planted...so the blog will begin to revive this year.
