Something like:

Gigantes Plaki / Baked Giant Beans

Mine would probably use loads of fresh thyme and have fennel instead of the celery. Plus a tray of roast potatoes.
Works well with tinned butter beans (ie Lidl)

A “three things together = supper” strategy is great, but make them grains, beans and greens. Plus eggs/cheese, I suppose, if you’re veggy.

Surely Woody Guthrie was a poor mans Woody Guthrie?

Whatever you cooked the evening before, on/with toast.

Unless you plan to put it in a bowl and take it to work and there is insufficient to do both.

Bachelors Beanfeast is the first “vegan” thing that I can remember eating, must have been about 1980 (though I was far from vegan then) I can remember being surprised how tasty and filling it was.

I never use those yeast flakes because I spent so long working in a microbiology lab and the ever present smell of autoclaving malt/yeast extract agar together with that of all the crap that had accumulated in the bottom of the autoclave has put me off for life. Quite fine with marmite (Meridian version)though.

I started buying occasional jars of B12 tablets a few years ago after thirty years or so of veganism. If you eat enough fortified foods you will be fine but sometimes I go months with no soya milk/marmite. And B12 supplements are simply a fermentation product of bacteria – nothing wrong with that

A pumpkin idea.
I don’t really do pumpkin but this is one of my go to chunky stew recipes and it says in the small print that they often add pumpkin to it.

(I use the supermarket packs of pre-cooked chestnuts, shallots that come in 500g packs from Lidl etc, cider instead of wine, and where the recipe says “carnation cloves” it means “cloves”)
(and use loads more olive oil than that)

Recently I had to share an office for a while with a couple of “meat scientists”. They were really nice and we got on fine.

I’ve been vegan so long I can hardly remember eating non-vegan food so I don’t really miss it.
Vegan things I miss are: Vegebanger mix – since its discontinuation no other sausage mix has come close and vege sausages nowadays are all frozen palm oil and tvp concoctions, and Cauldron Foods smoked tofu – other smoked tofus are available still but that stuff was food of the gods
I like simple bold flavours, carbs, generous use of olive oil, things containing lots of alliums and umbellifers, things you can serve with roast potatoes, chilli, garlic and fresh thyme.
I imagine trying to please children is a nightmare.

What would make my job easier is a tape measure/ruler that logs measurements as you take them and gives them as a readout at the end of the day.
My work involves measuring field trials of plants and many of the measurements we take involve clipping on an expensive bit of kit, pressing a button and storing the result then moving on to next plant. A lot of measurements however are done with a ruler/tape which involves taking measurement then putting it down while you enter data manually into a hand-held computer or on a bit of paper, or having someone there to write it for you if you are up a ladder. I know there are laser tapes that will do this but they are no use for us as there are leaves in the way or we have to measure curves.

Countzero – my Morrisons has cwtch for £1.80. Maybe a Wales only thing (though you are maybe closer to source than me), but worth checking out.

Supermarkets in my town in W Wales have definately upped their game recently. Current favourite is a close call between Thornbridge Tart and Tiny Rebel Beat Box. Bragdy Conwy are putting out some very drinkable bottle conditioned beers. Envious of EGF.

Was doomsday this morning in West Wales but now it is disappointingly just a bit windy

I have a friend called Dave who I last saw in Comas, Lima, Peru in 1984 and today is his birthday

About thirty five years ago a couple of lads in my village died when their car hit an antelope. In Kent, unlucky.

I live in mid Wales and personally I wouldn’t miss sheep farming.

Potatos are roasting in the oven and will probably be eaten with chilli sauce or mustard or both as I can’t really be bothered to do anything else

People always used to say that Hungarian is better than Spanish. The wholefood shop in town (Aber) used to sell some loose and when they took the lid off the jar it would fill the room with sweet aroma. The stuff they sell now isn’t nearly as good. No recommendations but maybe search for a Hungarian one on ebay.

Kebab Express, Queens Rd, Brighton, mid 90s.
They used to do “homeless specials” – as much hummus and doner meat that you could fit into a pitta bread for 50p.
Otherwise, the basic business strategy seemed to be that after you’d been in once then you were their friend and everything would cost 50p or so.
Saddam and Julia, I hope they are well.

a tin of kidney beans with loads of coriander chilli and raw onions and toasted pitta
proper job
songs for drella, just finished

surely it is in a parking bay, sort of

I beg to differ. Cook polenta soft and porridgey(?)on day one, fry/roast it on day two. (I think you underestimate mashed potato also).

But, sure, it is always going to be bland carbs. Just add enough olive oil/butter, fresh herbs, salt and pepper and serve it with something with sufficient guts that it needs some bland carbs

If it is fly only then you could use maggots and say that they are young flys

I visited my parents today and rather liked this from the Radio Times:

The last meal of a drowning mouse (6,3,6)

(My mum, bless her, had tentatively filled in “?????? and cheese”)

Pralus are all nice, unless you know something that I don’t.
And i haven’t had it for a while, but that Tesco 74% IMO used to be the best chocolate available for the price.

There seems to be a thing about dogs and beaches a bit like small children and supermarkets

expensif?

If you want to go offroad then don’t go to Pembrokeshire and up the coast, Stay inland.

About six this morning (as I was having a poo), I looked out of the window and there was a woodpecker sitting on a leek flower, possibly a sight that had never been seen before. I felt like it must be prescient of something.

the little road that leaves the A4067 at Glyntawe and heads north to Trecastle

1. Abergwesyn to Tregaron (or variations thereon) 2. Rhayader to Cwmystwyth (then take a walk round Hafod) 3. from Ponterwyd up round Nant y Moch and down to Talybont (basically the ones near me)

Talk to him about his home and his family. Try to get him reliving happy memories and then maybe more positive feelings and hopes.

depends on what you like

When I was nine or ten, early seventies, our primary school (Chartham, Kent) was one hundred years old and as part of the celebrations there was a do on the village green with a marquee and all of us kids were presented with something (I forget what) by Richard Hearne who was apparently famous for his character “Mr Pastry” and had almost got to be Dr Who after John Pertwee.
I had no idea who he was then and I still wouldn’t know today were it not for Wikipedia.
I am under no illusion that this is interesting.

Stay inland between the Beacons and Mach, you will have the best scenery and probably see fewer tourists than you would at home.

I remember this one being a good watch

a thread on wild camp spots within 50 mile of rhyader could easily run to fifty pages

woof?
