A quick list on the back of an envelope, transferred here later. Friday mussels pizza muffins as the carb content of a cold collation on a wet and stormy night, Saturday the lovely Vicki is celebrating her birthday and we are all out to dinner at the Canton Arms. Sunday burgers and salad slow roasted ham hock with onions and steamed potatoes. Monday turkey noodles. Tuesday steamed eggs and peppers, Wednesday we are at the theatre and Thursday there will be fishcakes with sorrel sauce as I have been reading about fishcakes and wondering about sorrel sauce as I have a pot in the garden burgers and rice salad as I have a recipe for salad I'm wondering about!.
Friday afternoon was wet and cold and horrible at Borough. I started at Neals Yard and bought milk and yoghurt, and a st john stick £10.65
Then coffee from Monmouth - £12 - coffee prices are rising
From Harriet's organics I bought garlic, carrots, potatoes, radish and a beautifully scented melon for £8.90
A fennel from Turnips - £1.30
Strawberries and lettuce from Chegworth - £4
Cheese from Gastronomica - a soft cow and a hard sheep - £10.80 and later in the week some braesola £4.50 for a sandwich before the theatre
Eggs from Wild Beef - £3.40
Tomatoes from Isle of Wight - £3.50 - wildly expensive but so very good
Black and green olives from Vahid plus some sundried tomatoes for muffins - £8.60
That was all £76.15 - a lot in a week without buying fresh meat
Bought other things too - cabbage and bananas round the corner, and butter, chocolate and cherries to make a cherry ripe cake to celebrate Vicki's birthday
For anyone interested in what's going on with traders and trustees at the market this is a good round up Turns out the building that the trustees have agreed to be built by Network Rail for the new market front is all glass, and so unsuitable for fresh produce. Odd, at the very least.
