I've having a supper party to celebrate a simply awful flatmate leaving! Mussels in cream and garlic white wine. A vegarian stew with marrow, tomato, chickpeas and butter beans, home made bread made by a guest and followed by pears stewed in berries and red wine.

I'm cooking a whole series of recipes from Claudia Roden's Comple Jewish Cookery for some friends coming over tomorrow night, inc carrot salad, baked aubergines, corgette gratin and meatballs followed by a desert made either with cherries or apricots depending on what i can source later. I'm in a cooking rut its a good thing to be trying new recipies.

Mine is to shop less at large supermarkets like Tescos (in the uk) and more at farmers markets and independent shops for food.

yes I think the huts well predated Scandanavian crime novels... generally living in huts is not a lifestyle choice more an encomic one. A perilous one I seem to remember a group of huts in a long legal battle with a landowner or local authority in Stirling. I live in the capital so no direct experience of them. Beachhuts are also common nearby Bellhaven but normally they have stipulations that you cannot sleep in them.

When I was a teenager I went to Kings Cross Station in London and was stunned to see a beautiful siamese cat draped across the shoulders of a very nonchelant lady. I can't remember if there was a leash involved. And another time on the grass outside Euston Station I saw another siamese on a leash trying to hunt the local pidgeons.

leading by example is best I invited two friends to come with me to the farmers market and a few weeks ago and they enjoyed it so much I'm sure getting them to eat a bit more local will be much less painless!
