Still eating

I strive to be a glass-half-full type, but with this morning’s mist and the frost-like appearance of the dew on the grass, my mind is already turning to autumn...winter, even. Let’s face it: so far it hasn’t been much of a summer. I say so far because September often rides to the rescue. Not that it’s affected the neighbour’s allotment. We’re already knee-high in runner beans and courgettes. And as we discovered last year, there’s quite a lot you can do with beans and courgettes (only another six jars to go). Have recently taken to procuring our lamb from a different farmer; Suffolk cross and highly recommended. Tonight’s supper includes the leftovers from yesterday’s roast, along with a South American inspired sweet red pepper, garlic and chilli dressing and/or pomegranate and parsley flavoured Greek yoghurt. Of course it wouldn’t be quite be the same without large portions of sautéed courgettes and runner beans.
