Mash! I know now the seasons have changed as I had an incurable craving for mash today so that is what we are having.

I gave up my veg box as it was too repetitive and doing my head in, but I haven't yet got to grips with actual shopping and meal planning so I'm making it up day by day at the minute. I need to get back into the groove.

[Disco]

I had mash on Friday and made three times too much and ate it all

[Pippedydeadeye]

I was just thinking about your fig, Rosemary and blue cheese pasta yesterday!

[Disco]

I haven't had it for a few years and saw Riverford had figs this week and I have an abundance of blue cheese, pasta and rosemary so thought why the hell not. Perhaps this will be the year Monk eats it.

[wendy james]

Does he refuse to try it or is he just not keen after giving it a go?

[Disco]

He tries things but I haven't made it for years because the fig window is small and he didn't like figs, blue cheese or chilli. He now loves spicy things and blue cheese.

[wendy james]

Fingers crossed then!
