I started this post weeks ago, then got distracted, so it's now well out of date and the recipe for summer pudding using the then seasonal fruits is not seasonal anymore, but since I've got his chance to catch up I might as well do it as it was really easy and a lovely treat. It's a couple of months since we were there now, here is a little post about our stay at Plan-it Earth in Sancreed, which is pretty much at Land's End in Cornwall. I think I might have mentioned it before, it's a seven acre small holding which runs eco-education courses and has two yurts for holiday rentals. We'd gone there wwoofing, intending to stay for just three days, but ended up staying over a week. It was a really great place. We learnt loads and had a great time. As an added bonus for the first couple of days we were able to stay in this lovely yurt before the next guests arrived. The first day there was a bit of a downpour and we spent most of the morning weeding the polytunnel, dashing out into the garden to pick artichokes and redcurrants in any dry spells. ...

So today is our last full day at the farm house in Devon. What a lovely week it has been, so relaxing. We've done very little other than sleep, eat, read, sit in the sun and hang out with the various animals there are around. As much as we love the tent and our two hob camping chef it's been amazing to have a real kitchen, and the chickens have provided us with a huge amount of eggs which have contributed to some very tasty meals. Quiche recipe coming up. I'm going to really miss the chickens. They're so funny. The way they walk is ridiculous, and the way they run even more ridiculous. It's as though their head is attached to their legs by a string through their body and it wobbles backwards and forwards faster the faster they go. They hear you coming out of the back door and if they're not already there by the time you have got outside they'll come racing across the yard sliding to a stop by your feet. Bwoooooooaaak! Can't wait until I have some of my own. Despite their cheeky bean eating behaviour I'll also miss the cats. In fact I'd rather they ...

I realised it's been a while since I actually wrote a recipe on here, and that being one of the main reasons for the blog I thought it was time I did. So here's a run down of what we had for dinner last night, using the things bought from the market that morning which I'd written about yesterday and also a few eggs from the chickens in the yard. Thank you chickens. On the menu last night was: Pan con Tomate Tortilla Blue Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms with Roasted Garlic Beetroot and Broad Bean Salad Pan con Tomate Really simple, just relies on good quality ingredients. Get some really nice thinly sliced bread, ciabatta, or a baguette type thing is good, ours was homemade (woo, get you). Toast the slices of bread. As you eat them rub the surface all over with a raw garlic clove, then drizzle with virgin olive oil, then rub with really ripe juicy tomato. Then eat it. This is one of my favourite things to do with a meal like this. We'd tried it in Spain (surprise) last year and have been hooked since. Tortilla This takes a while, maybe even allow about an hour or more altogether. Since I have nothing to ...
