Delivered fresh this morning from The Gables garden greengrocer

Beetroots, leeks snd onions
Beetroots cooked
Another dish made this morning – beans in homemade tomato sauce
Spinach rice with Gables onions

Plenty of food in the freezer to get out and feed our guests who arrive tomorrow including tromboncino soup, apple crumble, honey cakes and Jeremy’s signature dishes of potato kugel and Melanzane Di Parmigiana (excuse my spelling). He will also be cooking the leeks and making pizza dough. Plenty more cooking to be done later and tomorrow but I’m having a sunshine break right now.

I pulled a random photo book from the shelf today……

November 2017 there was a photo of our new resident – Nigel

We hadn’t realised that he wasn’t small because of malnourishment but he was actually a kitten
In 2017 Nigel was much smaller than Mabel
2021 Nigel is nearly twice as big as Mabel
And he is a formidable hunter. He caught a rabbit (and ate it this morning) and just now I opened the kitchen door and found another rabbit on the mat
And there was Nigel eating a second rabbit. He will soon need to go on a diet! Run rabbits, run!
