I have been known to go and buy some chicken just to make stock! The cat likes the leftovers, too.

I must try beetroot risotto again. I did one recently, but there was something not quite spot on. Can’t remember quite what, though….

Cheers Mangocheeks! By the looks of your lovely blogpost, you visited the store on our second ever Saturday. So it is true, we did have quite a small selection of fruit and veg- we’ve grown quite substantially since then! It is *also* likely that you were served, at the Village Store, by either me or my boyfriend Dougal as we were volunteering that day. Which is nice- that we ‘met’ and then you found my blog.

You sound like you had quite the adventure in Leith. Where on earth did you get doughnut peaches from? I’ve never seen the like here! It’s true that we do actually have pretty good fruit and veg availability; I tend to be quite cynical about it because the stretch of Leith Walk that we live on is a bit of fruit and veg desert between the ‘Fruit Heaven’ down on Junction Street at the foot of the walk, and the asian grocers and Tatty Shaw’s up/south, across the border, in the Edinburgh part of Leith Walk. But actually we aren’t all that far.

I think that Anderston in Glasgow is quite like Leith; I know what you mean about some of the West End fruit & veg being a wee bit life-styley but I think if you *just* but veg and not fancy chocolate/organic yog/alfafafafafa then they are useful.

I think its a wonderful venture. I visited it in July whilst visiting Edinburgh for the day. Its such a shame there is nothing similar happening in Glasgow, as it would have been my preferred place to shop. Its a lovely welcoming building too.

My excuse is I’m a lazy mare! Ciara and I were JUST saying that it’s a crime we haven’t got down there yet, and will definitely be there this Saturday. That peppers thing looks AMAAAZING. I am so hungry; Ferd’s roasting a butternut squash for a risotto. I am SO HUNGRY!

Nope… can you do it via the etherweb or is it in your head?

I take your point, but it’s what you do with what you have which counts, whatever it is
