Weekend highlight

At the back of our house on a plot no bigger than most families' living room table we have a dozen raspberry canes.

My greatest pleasure this weekend was hearing my grandson, Max, ask, 'Bampi?Can I pick some was-be-wees?', after which he spent twenty minutes filling his face with as many of of them as he could grab before his mam and dad bundled him into their camper van and headed off to Symonds Yat for the weekend.

Fruits of our labours

First batch of blackcurrants from the allotment.

At The Cask in Pimlico

...and the Cajun Spiced Nuts are going down lovely with a pint of Tiny Rebel's Cwtch

As I'm on my own this week I can eat what I like

My other half is allergic to cheese, so in her absence I decided to get creative with some homemade pizza.

This one's a homemade tomato sauce topped with mozzarella, caramelised red onion, oregano and goat's cheese.

Otley O1 in the Tom Toya

Tesco's, Talbot Green yesterday...

to see the amazing Hazel Thomas weave her culinary magic for St David's Day.
The supermarket were hosting an event to support local suppliers and Hazel was cooking a few of her own recipes, including her signature dish, quiche with Welsh cheese, cockles and laver bread.
I can confirm, after several pieces, that it tastes as good as it sounds.
:)
A video of the recipe is on its way sometime next week.
