We had a pumpkin in our veg box this week - I think I’m just going to roast it.

Bert’s Books @bertsbooks.bsky.social · 2d
As part of celebrating Bookshop Day, Bert’s is donating £100 worth of books to 12 schools across Swindon.

Literacy levels in Swindon have fallen behind the national average, so we’re making a commitment to do this every year – but it will take us seven years to make sure every school benefits.

It’s the first anniversary of my sister’s death. Apart from an optician’s appointment I’m going to try very hard to celebrate her. So, lunch at Los Gatos and a steak dinner with Ben later.

Not only do we have to open the kitchen door (which has the catflap), Tarragon has taken to demanding ingress through the patio doors when I’m working from home!

I decided to make jelly - I can buy membrillo! So that’ll be today’s after work activity 🥰 Then I have the “mush” to use up 🧐

Everything I’ve read suggests poaching as a first step? Ending up with jam, jelly or paste (membrillo). @nicmiller.bsky.social do you have any wisdom to share please?

Neighbour has a quince glut thanks to Amy. I’ve just started stage one (poaching), currently thinking membrillo but we will see. Next up (not today), green tomato chutney, courtesy of another neighbour’s glut!

Their smoked mackerel is unlike any other. And the smoked salmon, love it! Used to live near enough to just go over to get supplies from the shop. Must put an online order in.
