As for the chillies, sorry mate, no go. To be honest though it's not going to make a massive difference if you substitute other chillies or a combimnation of different ones. Miles GDave,

A genuine, <i>really/<i> wanna know question is; have you ever been able to source those 'facing heaven' Sichuanese chillis (chao tian jiao) that Fuscia is always writing about? I've seen them sold dried in an online store in London but they are mentally expensive. GDave Miles,

I find it concentrates the mind and makes you a better cook for it. Miles Anne,

How often is it that we find ourselves with just a few food items left in the fridge and wonder what we could do with them? If we can't imagine anything, we go out especially to purchase a few other things. And so it goes on. Like Cid, I find all sorts of things in my store cupboard and will have to get much better at using them up. Perhaps we should try a week (or longer depending on the size of your larder) of living completely from our store cupboard, fridge and freezer? I think I will have a go. How about you, Cid ? Your butternut squash will be a great start :) Anne Miles,

I'm terrible for buying unusual and exotic ingredients then forgetting all about them at the back of the pantry.... a crime to be sure. I've just popped over to Melissa's to declare the annual rose hip syrup making tradition a success. For a moment there were pips and orange pulp flying all over the kitchen which prompted a hasty clean up session... don't want any nasty stains on my beloved worktop! Now sit down and calm yourself.... the excitement isn't good for a man of your age ( :) ) when I tell you I've harvest my first butternut squash. Small it may be, tough as old boot quite likely, but it's taken the best part of a year and half a garden to grow :) Next year of course, I shall be even better prepared and propose to cultivate a huge specimen.... better book the coach and horses now!
