The weather has gone really cold over the last few nights with some proper frost which stays put all day in the shade. The temperature has been down to at least -5°. The skies have remained clear with beautiful blue skies during the day and fabulous starry nights with a bright waxing (e.g. newish) moon. Jamie visited the plot yesterday to feed our ever-present robin and pick some (frozen) Brussels sprouts for our evening meal.
We had a lovely cheesy, sprouts and Quorn lardons bake - delicious, but wish we'd had some mixed chopped nuts to add to the top to make it extra crunchy. It was a very tasty way to eat the sprouts.
I think the frost had done its job of making the sprouts a bit more flavoursome.
Last Saturday night we had our HAHA skittles evening at the Royal British Legion in Hungerford. It was a great night, really good fun. There were at least 24 people on each side (HAHA versus RBL) which was such a brilliant turnout we're sure to hold another event later in the year I'm sure. Anyway, the RBL need another chance to beat us ;-)
I think our sprouts had actually grown since we picked some before Christmas. The buttons seemed much larger.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have had a good year for sprouts - thank goodness, I love them!
DeleteSimilar picture here. We didn`t want to stay long either. Evening out looks good.
ReplyDeleteI saw your blog post had 'frost' in the title :-) I will read it later, but should be working at the moment :-)
DeleteI love sprouts but only really have them with Christmas dinner. You look like a professional skittle player.
