Head, Shoulders, knees and Toes...

These are not toes. 

These are potatoes, which we bought on 10th March  at the "Potato Show". 

We planted 5 potatoes and this is three, or heaven knows how many we have had.  They are kind of pinky in colour and make the most heavenly mash with the skin on.  - they are lush roasted, like this, and boiled for salad, lush. 

On the plate also - MY FIRST BRUSSELS of the year. 

Taff, on the plot next dodor shouted at me when he caught sight of me digging up the Brussel bush.   "Leave it leave it" he said, but no - I was already half way there.   While we were away, "Brussels with Parmesan and Bacon" were favourites on a lot of menus.  These brussels were exactly the same size and I WANTED THEM. 

In the end, my parnsip which I pulled for dinner, wasn't so lovely, so we had the brussels instead.  

I will check out more parnsips next week.
