Tip of the day
If you haven't tried purple sprouting broccoli, TRY SOME NOW, before it goes out of season.
I'd always eyed it with mild suspicion until recently, because, well, it looks kind of weird and isn't broccoli meant to be GREEN anyway?! But then we switched to the farmer's market rather than getting an organic veg box when we moved here, and the farmer always has tons of the stuff, so I have been brave and tried it and decided that I LOVE IT. Seriously, it's fantastic. And yes, you're meant to eat the leaves too, which means much less faffing about.
I can't quite believe I'm sitting here raving about how wonderful a vegetable is, but seemingly, I am. And I am very sad that it's going out of season soon.
So, do not let the humble purple sprouting broccoli remain ignored!

Well it make for a welcoming break from blogging about Harry vs Harry vs Harry and if that's cats or dogs or whatever else :D
Might give it a try when I do a stir fry next time (most funny vegs I eat are quickly cooked in stir fry and then just eaten (can't stand them raw so fast cooked to keep the good stuff in))
