HOUSE AND GARDEN

Apparently the way to use a candle to heat a greenhouse is to use 2 terracotta pots, one upside down on top, it retains heat for longer! And does not try to burn down the greenhouse!

I need to write next weeks menu – a new initiative for me! And one which involves a shopping list. Not a good start – shopping list started first!

MENU

Monday – Make yogurt (not a menu, but a start). Got it! Pizza with some pineapple for a change! Make sure pizza stone is zingingly hot before dressing with pasatta sauce and sun dried toms, cheddar and parmesan. Olives too (sorry Kate – you can pick them off!), and just herbs and pepper (maybe a dust of smoked paprika). I will try to keep simple. Base will have thyme as usual. Well I made a pineapple and coconut with rum something? I wait to hear what Kate and Aaron think of it? I think I should have added lemon and ginger.

Tuesday – Must be a cookie day – have a look to see what I need to use (although to be honest not much goes out of date now!), I guess I will still have pizza so maybe prepare some dried beans for bean burgers.

Wednesday – must be a pasta day – with a simple sauce and cheese

Thursday – Flat breads and lamb?

Friday – Avo mayo and ? Be creative? Nice toms? Beetroot, cucumber, maybe some shellfish? Lentil bake?
