Cook off

Another fabulous day. They are suggesting it could be the warmest August Bank Holiday on record. You won't hear any complaints from here.

With a trip planned we had decided that we should prepare something we can eat on arrival, without having to worry about finding a restaurant or pub, or indeed cooking. With that end in mind, we decided on a cottage pie; the Gorse Fox whipped round to Sainsbury's for a swede and then spent part of the morning making several hundredweight of the aforementioned pie. Our variation on the usual recipe is replacing the usual mashed potato with mashed swede and carrot. The finished article is now cooling prior to being frozen.
