... I sent my manuscript off this morning (but see below for News from the Future) a day early!
Bit of a bugger really because now I have no excuse for avoiding all the other things that need doing. For weeks I have been saying “Well I’d like to help but …” and now I have to sort out cupboards and clean things.
So the first thing I did was have lunch …
~ Menu ~
Potato
& Salmon Hash
Bit
of Salad
Roasted
Garlic Mayonnaise
Small
Glass of Secret White
I bought some bargain potatoes the other
day called Blue Belle. They put me in
mind of the Apache potatoes I had a few months ago but l
are not the same.
The label said they are excellent for
baking and how right it was.
I baked several, specifically so that I could play with them once cooked, but they had such lovely creamy, fluffy interiors and such tasty crispy skin that things didn't go according to plan; we ate all but one small one.

Today I made a hash with it together with a
little leftover salmon. It was dead
simple I just diced and crushed and mashed the potato in a little oil, added
the salmon when it was crisp and served it in a terribly fancy way so I could
take a photo (which I am not very pleased with!).
I’m just watching Nigel (Slater of course)
on the telly – he’s one of my absolute favourite famous cooks but I think he
must have been reading Sudden Lunch! He’s
making sudden suppers from what he finds in the fridge! Good man.
Incidentally I saw poppies in flower yesterday - in the snow!
News from the Future
My book was published in March,
2013. Originally titled The Leftovers Handbook a second edition is now
available and is called Creative Ways to Use Up Leftovers. In it I give all the information, ideas and
recipes I can think of for over 450 possible leftovers.

Congratulations! :) Not long now, then! ~rubs hands together in anticipation~
As for that Nigel Slater, well, just don't get me started. "Here's something you can do with 50p of leftover swede - go out and buy £4-worth of lamb steak, then .. blah blah blah".
~grinds teeth together~
There's a whole blog post just waiting to be written about that Nigel Slater programme. Now, have I got time, that's the thing! lol
Good point Jenny, I hadn't thought of that aspect of his cooking.
