It seems to be a
food swap day. Our gardener arrived this morning bearing 4 sachets of pheasant casserole
for us. I’ve left a couple of them out for dinner tomorrow. The other two I’ve
put in the freezer for another day.
In return I’ve given
her an iceberg lettuce, an avocado & half a bulb of celeriac. She’s never
had celeriac before & wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. As I was
cooking some for today’s dinner I explained what I was doing. I diced up the
celeriac, boiled it in some milk, just enough to cover it. After 25-30 mins, I
blitzed in a blender, added some butter & seasoning. When it was done, I
took out a little for her try. She really loved it & is keen to try it out
on the family. She’s even thinking she may try growing it herself in her garden
next year.
I feel it’s a fair
exchange. It’s cleared our fridge a bit, reducing waste. At the same time, she’s
felt she could try us out on some of her food which would only be going to
waste on her part. We both get to try new foods & hopefully enjoy our
culinary adventures.
