Foraging!

[hurly_burly]

We gathered chestnuts on our walk this morning!  I love living here!  Not many left on the ground because the vile teenagers were throwing thm into the river (!), but I will go back tomorrow to see what the wind has blown down for us.  Perhaps I could make the small girl her first conker, and then there's marrons glaces, chestnut stuffing for fowl, honey and chestnut semi-freddo, yum!
Right this moment, however, I'm stewing fresh, local rhubarb to make crumble for dessert after our Sunday roast!  Hurrah!

It is all deliciously awesome of course, but poor Ian's going to have to run all day every day to work off the quality food he's eating! :)

(This is no bad thing, mind)

*shrugs* Not really, since I only make a roast and pudding once a week. The rest of the week we eat reasonably healthy food, plus we have a 4km walk each evening (although sometiems I skip it because I'm a slacker!), plus Ian works phenomenally hard (50 hrs is pretty average, plus many, many hours of physical work around the house). So I don't feel at all guilty about our once-a-week Sunday night calorie-fest :D
