Yesterday's UFO's will be this evening's smoked haddock, prawn and spinach tart.<br />It must be the time of year for it - clearing out to make way for this year's home grown veg.<br /> Not that there will be so much this time. The runner beans didn't come up at all and the climbing french beans we replaced them with are just sulking due to lack of sun and warmth. Both our rows of peas were eaten by rabbits or pidgeons, so we replaced them only to find them nibbled down to the ground again.<br />Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-77692455738180427702013-07-02T09:17:44.956+02:002013-07-02T09:17:44.956+02:00The meal sounds great!

One drawback was all of the stuff was home produced... the insurance wouldn't pay out because we couldn't send them the empty packaging!!! They would only pay out on shop bought produce... [for those interested it was Norwich Onion!]<br /><br />*NB: with upright freezers you do get far less by way of UFOs... <br />because you are constantly moving stuff around to get the drawers closed properly!!<br />Chest freezers tend to have a level below which you do not dig... and in this establishment is just another flat surface for me to put "stuff" on [I've written that before Pauline does!!]Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-34715380287303668612013-07-02T07:51:08.327+02:002013-07-02T07:51:08.327+02:00A real Southern meal.
