Welcome along!

Gentle potter today. I couldn't resist picking a few bits and bobs: Hogweed shoots (I'm the only one in the house that likes them) Wild onions Cleavers (incredibly green, fresh and juicy at this time of year) Garlic mustard (again, all mine, their loss) A few weeks ago I made wild garlic...

Now that's a pretty knife

Well....death, obviously.

I like Flora incognita and Plant net for plant identification. Neither are 100% accurate, but then nor am I! I find if cross reference them I get the right plant. It's always best to back it up with an actual book. A bit like map and compass for navigation. Apps are great and useful, but...

I make sourdough bread once or twice a week. This batch and the temperature aligned to create a beauty. There wasn't much left after others in the house discovered it. I was inspired to try a wild garlic and green olive foccaccia, for a change, finished with smoked sea salt. I think it will...

I just made some wild garlic scones today (with cheese) and they disappeared before they got cold!

Sorry, as soon as I hear amazon mentioned it gets my back up. If we as individuals don't pay our taxes we get fines, or worse. The huge multinational doesn't? Not OK. With the amount of money it has? I stopped using that company about 15 years ago.

Welcome along

Very pleased you won't be able to find time for anything you don't want to do mate.

Welcome along

Scratchings, yes, obviously! Fat = flavour. A sad fact, but a fact nonetheless. But then I don't want to live a life of a monk. Bad for you is where some of the good stuff of life is. I can resist everything except moderation! But not that puffy polystyrene nonsense. They dry your mouth out...

Welcome along from a fellow lover of woodworking.
