january is endless.



Well, clearly it's not as it's now February... but sometimes it seems it. Here are some photos of what I've been up to lately. Coming up after the photos - a recipe!














(not even half my stuff packed up ; our new flat, a little empty! ; 3 colours on my plate after a fry up ; conversations with drew about overthinking, and a dinosaur ; a very sunny train ride to exeter ; getting rid of my pointless collection of bottles and cans ; sunshine out of my window ; my messy but lovely bed ; shadow of my bed ; packing pretty fabrics into my vintage tartan suitcase ; whatever's in the fridge stew - not pretty, but VERY yummy)

WHATEVER IS IN THE FRIDGE STEW
with cheesy mustard mash.

So I guess if you follow this recipe, it's not technically whatever is in your fridge, but you can totally adapt it to whatever really is in your fridge. This is what I used...

Ingredients:

6 sausages
5 spring onions
4 cloves of garlic
2 carrots
some green beans
loads of mushrooms
half an orange pepper
half a tin of baked beans
half a tin of chopped tomatoes
tin of kidney beans
half a pint of veg stock
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1. Cut the sausages up into chunks and put in a hot pan. Add chopped spring onions and garlic (I know it seems like a lot of garlic, but it doesn't taste like it) Meanwhile, boil or steam the carrots and green beans until neeeearly tender.

2. Add the mushrooms and pepper to the pan with the sausages. Then add the carrots and green beans too. Let them cook for a couple of minutes before adding all the tinned stuff. Give it a good stir and let it bubble away for 5 minutes or so.

3. Make up half a pint of vegetable stock (or any other stock you fancy) and pour it into the pan with the spices and things. Give it a good mix and let it bubble for about half an hour, or until the sauce thickens. If it still doesn't thicken up after half an hour add some corn flour.

Clearly, you can alter this recipe to fit whatever meat/vegetables you have.


Mash ingredients:

4 potatoes
100ml milk
heaped tsp wholegrain mustard
salt & pepper
handful of grated cheddar

1. Peel and boil potatoes. While they are cooking, mix the mustard, salt and pepper in with the milk.

2. When potatoes are tender, drain and mash, mixing all the ingredients together.


Super duper comfort food! I know it will sound like I am blowing my own trumpet, but quite frankly, I don't care. It was absolutely DELICIOUS, and my tummy is very happy.
