This recipe is dedicated to Ellie and Aaron due to the qppreciation they have shown for it.
The secret is quality ingredients and a really hot oven.

KEEP OFF THE GRASS!
Or at least keep the mower, pesticide, herbicides and fertilisers off the grass. A lawn is a pretentious middle class monoculture of generally no practical function.
Longer grass with wildflowers, herbs and small shrubs provide food and cover for invertebrates and insects of all kinds. A study published yesterday showed a reduction in wildlife around the globe of 68% since 1970. (WWF et al).
My front lawn has been called wild and scruffy – thank you for the complement. My road has over 2ha. of front lawns – what a great nature reserve that could become?
THE ANARCHY – a rant!!
I thought the purpose of government was to make decisions for the benefit of the population? This government seems unable to decide on anything other than lining their own pockets or those of their cronies!
Covid -19. You cannot meet up with more than 5 members of your family, but please go to work and the pub. Your children must go to school but stay away from grandparents. You should go back to work if you can use city centre cafes and restaurants, but otherwise stay working from home.
FIRES IN CALIFORNIA
An area twice the size of Somerset has burned in California this year, and the peak of the fire season is yet to come. Temperatures in LA have nudged 50C whilst Death Valley may have recorded the hottest ever temperature on earth. Air quality is amongst the worst in the world. Climate change is happening.

COOKIE TIME!
Student cooking and cookies.
Talking to students off to uni there is a general fear of cooking. Which is a shame given the expense of takeaways, and the general poor quality of the food. Soups and stir fry’s are quick easy and nutritious and cheap. Roast chicken, or roast anything is easy, just a matter of timing. http://www.jamieoliver.com/videos/jamie-s-perfect-roast-potatoes/
