the good life

I cooked some spuds from the garden on Saturday. This is the first time in my entire life that I have eaten anything I have grown myself.

By a strange coincidence, the Bomber and I also picked some blackberries in Wandle Park when we met up with the Hendries doing the same thing walking their dog, and plunged in just to be sociable.

I was astounded subsequently to see that 150g of blackberries go for £2 in Sainsbury's.

I hope to get around to the Telegraph's Blackberry and pinot noir jam recipe with the results of our foraging though I am unclear as to what pectin is or where you get it.
