How right he is. A friend of my husband gave us 6 strawberry plants, each in its own tiny pot, before Xmas. I popped them next to the garden shed and promptly forgot about them until a couple of weeks ago. They had certainly been more than neglected and suffered howling gales, frost , snow etc. Anyway 4 had survived, now planted out and thriving.
I am looking forward to the fruit eagerly as. Often shop bought strawberries are absolutely tasteless.
Yesterday's recipe was to "........make a strawberry shine....." and was A mint and raspberry sugar for strawberries.
This looked wonderful when first put on the fruit but when set aside for 20 mins as recipe instructed it became syrupy and I think too sweet. Even hubby thought it too sweet!!!!!!
Tonight's ( June 4 th) is called " cuisine approximate". No structured recipe for today - instead a list of ingredients to make a marinade for chicken thighs. I had a go , growing in confidence and tasting as I make up the marinade.
We decided to have a barbecue this evening - the weather being too good to waste- so the chicken went on the barbecue rather than in the oven as Mr Slater suggests.
Having been in the marinade all day ( or as my husband insisted due to his excellent barbecuing skills !!!) they were moist, tender, sticky and sweet and delicious.
