Sod 'em All

Yesterday we went along to the Farmers' Market. It's the first time we've done any real food shopping this year. So far it's just been the odd top-up, some spuds, some mushrooms, sprouts etc. This is the first lot of meat. Instead we've been having a great use-up of things in the freezer.

Of late we've been stuck in using up left over gammon. As a result we seem to have a week of baked beans by way of accompaniment. So you can understand the sheer joy of sprouts with Lancastrian sausages yesterday. And then tomorrow we've got braised wood pigeon to look forward to. (I admit we're back to the freezer for today's Cheese Pasta Medley.) Next week, when we do the supermarket shop we'll have a proper shop & get all the veg & odds & ends we need to go with the meat we bought yesterday.

I've been interrupted mid-blog yet again by the doorbell. This time it's parcels for a different neighbour.

The lady who handed the parcels over, commented that they were for Sod 'em All. I looked puzzled.

"Oh didn't you know the house is called "Llamedos"? I thought it was an unusual name so I asked the owner the origin of the name. She'd just come through an acrimonious divorce so she called the house "Llamedos" which is "Sod 'em All" in reverse."
