Beef stew, making soup, good TV is back and it's Christmas, winter must be on it's way :(

Not so long back it was grow bags, cracked heels and holiday cottages that take dogs :)

Could somebody slow the year down please cos I've only just sorted my heels and I've got tomato plants loaded with green fruit that probably won't go red :(

So, what you are really saying Pinky is that we need a thread for recipies for green tomatoes? ;-)

Ohh yum yum....fried green tomatoes.....

You're right- sorry I started the TV thread! I have hardly any tomatos left as the dogs keep knocking them off, couldn't understand why I had no strawberries until I saw one of my girlies commando crawling under the bench, on to the wall and helping herself, the green ones she spat out!

So, time to plan the holiday, decide if I'm going to buy hubby a valentines card and what Easter Eggs the kids ( 21& 26!) want. Then it will be nearly summer and Pimms time gain!!

And now you've put the year on fast forward and I'm nearly at my next birthday you bad girl :(

And yes recipes for green toms would be good, if we must do this warm cuddly thing :)

green tomato chutney...but I don't have a recipie yummy with a cheese sandwich.
Anyone else got one?
Aileen

Do you have enough green toms to make chutney? I may be able to dig out one of my mum's old recipes.

Bit too early for rib-sticking stews just yet I think, well in the south at least ;) Won't be thinking of them til the local new potatoes end, and it's time to order a sack of big dirty ones for jacket spuds.

We had a yummy beef stew for tea tonight even tho Im in the south and havent seen a strawberry on my plant for so long I cant remember  and I have a dvd called something to do with Fried Green Tomatoes...I think Im ready for winter! I missed summer from being ill...I think I've skipped Autumn! Oh no! :( :( I better start Christmas shopping.

Bit too early for stew in the south?
6 degrees this morning!!!First stew of the season tomorrow,trouble is my eldest has wormed an invitation for dinner tomorrow now.

I reckon I'll have a good few pounds of them so your mum's old recipe would be good.

yes please recipes would be great. Fried green tomatoes I have never done , do you just do that fry them ?
Mmmm a nice thick beef stew one of things I love about the colder weather

Here you go this was my breakfast last Friday :-)

Thats annoying it wont let me see

I thought we were fb friends ??

">yes please recipes would be great.

Great idea, recipes for all sort of things.

Soups
Stews
Casseroles
Cakes and puddings especially as I'm doing my xmas cake soon and I don't like the big hard dark ones, I'm more of a fruity Dundee type thing.
Plus every recipe possible for apples as they're everywhere, it's been a bumper crop this year.

Now where did I put my wooden spoon and mixing bowl and I wonder if my aunt's 45yr old Kenwood can make it through another year......

Some great tomato recipes in this months Gardeners World, including a Fried Green tomato one and a gorgeous Jamie Oliver recipe whic preserves them in oil for a couple of weeks - sounds scrummy, but not had time to try it yet.

Ooh that sounds good will go and get a copy :-)

Is that Jamie Oliver who's gorgeous or the recipe ? lol.

The recipe sounds gorgeous, Jamie Oliver OK - but if we are talking about delicious chefs - James Martin gets a big YUMMY from be! :)
