A year ago today I made this area for random ramblings a dedicated food blog. It was the Easter long weekend and I was relaxed. I had just started a graduate job and was reveling in the idea of having a whole long weekend off, I kept having to remind myself that I had graduated from uni – there was nothing to study! (Well, except for Chinese, and that is just fun 
)
I love happy mistakes accidents.
I only have a quick idea, a lovely happy accident, for you today, just a taste after a very absent week – sorry!
Roasted butternut pumpkin, sage fried in a little oil, chickpeas (from a tin!), runny yolked poached egg. Felix calls this another one of lili’s avant garde dinners. I call it delicious.
It is an accident, because it just happened. An idea here, a thought there, and suddenly there are chickpeas (I mean, what? . It all came together accidentally, but turned out to be wonderful
I have a bone to pick with corn. How can something be so delicious and so infuriating at the same time?
The noise most people make when eating corn off the cob makes my skin crawl, plus your teeth get filled with strings! As a child I remember picking the corn kernels off one by one and eating them to avoid all of that, bar the sound of others gnawing on the cob which I tensed and gritted my way through.
Is there a better brunch food than french toast? It ticks all the boxes: easy to make, comforting (especially after a big night), filling and just a little decadent. The only thing better is stuffing it with meltingly sweet and flavoursome fruits.
Here is the second post in a series of discussions about Sustainability and Organics, helped out by my Dad, Dave. If you have a question you might like answered, or something in this area that you are unsure about, ask!
Lorraine from Not Quite Nigella asked
Which Fruit &Veg require the use of the most pesticides/chemicals?
This is a really broad questions and pretty difficult to answer as the amount of chemicals used depend on many factors including whether the produce is being grown in season. Out of season vegetables generally require more chemicals and pesticides. Although the question is very broad, it is still really important, so I am just going to focus on two items: Celery and Tomatoes.
