Mustard & Cress

DIY Cress

Yes it's very old fashioned and probably not really worth eating.

But they are charging £1 in the local supermarket for a small black punnet!!!!

We bought three packs of seeds for £1 from a well know discount store on Foss Islands Road in York (It might be called M&B?) The Coriander and Parslry are doing fine on our little balcony in boxes. But the star of the show has been the Radishes. They germinate within a day and grow incredibly fast.

So we had 3/4 of a packet of seeds left. We popped a bit of kitchen paper in a pot and now we have lots of little friends to eat!

Coleslaw with Lemon recipe

Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. A month or so ago we wanted a bit of a side dish to go with a meal but didn't have much in.
 
We had ½ a Celeriac, some Onions and a couple of rather sad Carrots. It's amazing what you can create (Or more specifically Sue can invent) from next to nothing. We've had similar versions on several occasions but today's was the best so far. It knocks the spots of shop bought Coleslaw.
 
Ingredients:-
 
Onions, Celeriac, Carrot. All finely sliced in roughly equal proportions
A dash of White Wine Vinegar
The juice of ½ a Lemon
Fresh chopped Parsley (Just for a bit of colour)
Mayonnaise
 
Method:-
 
(1) As simple as mixing everything together and serving really.
 
The crunch of the Celeriac and the sharpness of the Vinegar and Lemon really work well together.
