Friday Outing

It is friday, so I took my money to Sainsbury's in Walton. It is a fair journey, but it is quite a good shop to go to. Good wide aisles, and plenty of choice usually. We got the general Weekend things, the stir fry, pizza items, and salad ingredients etc. Also I had a peek at the new Delia book. Not sure that it is for us, because it appears to have quite a few meaty or fishy items in it, which means that the recipes are useless to us. So, not sure whether to buy it really.
We had a beautiful Risotto last night, we both enjoyed making that. I started off with diced leek and celery gently sauteed in fry light, then 150 grms arborio rice and about 11/2 pints of stock added slowly. Then stirred a roasted butternut squash and a handful of spinach, and one chopped pear at the last minute. Very, very tasty. With a side dish of asparagus, and green beans it made a really posh tea.
VT is out in the gaarden tidying up. The little daffodils are out, and the tubs of snowdrops he planted and it all looks really nice. God Bless him, an Alan Titchmarsh in the making... He is presently weilding his chopper and chopping some logs. No arguments now then!!
Tonight we are having:
Tomato and beefless burger,
Saute potatoes done in fry light,
Tinned spaghetti,
Portobello mushroom and 1/2 a tomato baked.
So a sort of mixed grill really.
