bit light on the blogging front

My apologies for the lack of posts – we are moving house shortly, and thus we are eating our way through the contents of two freezers (one of which contained mostly stuff I’d already cooked). Trying to organise everything leaves little time for blogging, and also we’re consuming mostly the cooked stuff at the moment.

Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly.

duck surprise

We had an overnight guest at the weekend, and decided to do a full fry up for Sunday breakfast.  (What’s that you say?  Oh – two packs of lamb mince from the freezer into a moussaka, and a bag of gooseberries similar into a goosegog and almond pudding, since you ask.)  So I retrieved a small pack of chipolatas from the freezer on Saturday night, in readiness.

And when Pete went to cook them, he discovered that actually, it was the bag of tiny duck fillets I’d bought in Sainsburys a few weeks ago when it was on special offer!  Breakfast was fine, as we had bacon, black pudding, eggs and mushrooms.

Half the duck was stir fried for Sunday’s supper, with mushrooms, courgette, red pepper.  The other half went into a risotto last night, with a sliced leek, and half a block of feta cheese left over from the moussaka.

Quite interesting, freezer diving!

autumn has arrived

Autumn has arrived here in Somerset all of a sudden; the evenings are drawing in, and there’s a lovely nip in the air.

This seasonal change is confirmed by the Tribe; Mustrum is often indoors when I get up, cats are sharing the bed with us, more food is being eaten at home as the neighbours’ doors are shut.

And the final sign last night was Henry chasing his tail in the kitchen; to be more precise, he chases the shadow of his tail.  He did this a lot when he was a kitten, and then stopped – we assumed he’d grown out of it, but I think it was just because the light wasn’t on in the kitchen when we were cooking supper.  And now it is, and he is again, which is just ace – he’s a joy to watch :)
