Nearly out of grub. Looked in the fridge and it was looking pretty low on everything.
3 choices:-
go to the shops and buy something - yawn
go to the takeaway and buy something - fatty
go see what there is around our place - fun
I went for the latter option and with the last spud in my hand, I got to work.
I diced that last spud and put it on to boil.
TIME TO GET CREATIVE
Went into the garden and grabbed little heads of White and Purple Sprouting and a few of the smaller leaves. Sliced the last of the veges (except the last spud). Kept back about half the carrots and a smidgen of the Leek for another salad-see below.
As I was outside grabbing veg, I grabbed wild stuff too - Dandelions.
WILD GARLIC, BRASSICA LEAVES DANDELIONS.
Salad Number 1
Shred finely. Toss with the bowl of veges already prepared. Serve with French Dressing:
Shake 2t each mustard and honey with half cup nice vinegar. When well mixed, add and shake quarter cup nice oil.
Make Mayonaise
Wizz an egg yolk with oil ( add drip by drip, then drizzle in slowly) When thick and creamy, stir in 1 or 2 T of yoghurt and 1t vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste.
Salad Number 2
Mix seeds, raisins, Sliced carrot, Celery and a bit of Leek with some of the Mayonnaise. Season.
Salad Number 3
Shred some WILD GARLIC and stir it into the cool, cooked spud. Stir in French Dressing:
Serve the 3 salads with something....ANYTHING.... you can find around the house!
