Change of plan.

Earlier this week I read an excellent article by Tom Parker-Bowles about casseroles. He described the satisfaction of preparing all the ingredients, coating the meat before frying each piece to create a toasty crust and the long, slow cooking with wonderful smells permeating the house. I’d planned to tell you about my tagine, but the events of this week made me decide to put that on pause. The week began with a function where so many more people arrived than had been expected – would the refreshments be sufficient? Yes they were. The vicious storm which came later put us into another “lock-down” and that was the day we had to make a mercy dash to the vet with Tim…and very sadly we didn’t bring him home. Cake Friday went ahead as I’d already made the cake, but I forgot to post the photos on my Facebook page. I’ll tell you about my tagine next week x
