    Some are underground, some are overground, usually free...

  • I went to a fairly standard comprehensive school but over the first five years up to GCSE, we had around 15 kids expelled from my year group. This always struck me as a fairly high number, much higher than average for a single year group?

    Last nights concoction:

    [Serves 8]

    Roasted tomato and pepper sauce (for pasta).

    Take 3 good sized red bell peppers chopped into large chunks.

    6 - 8 shallots halved

    3 whole cloves of garlic (peeled)

    Toss in a little olive oil, Thyme and Oregano, season well.

    Roast in a suitably sized gratin dish for 35-40 mins (until slightly charred)

    Add 500g passata, place back in the oven and roast for another 20-25mins.

    Remove from the oven and blend for a very short period (I did this in 2 batches). Do not puree, keep the texture but do not blitz.

    Toss into pasta (about a serving spoon per person) of your choosing. Handy for pulling out of the freezer when in a hurry. Better than the usual Pesto which gets a little tedious after 30+ years.

    We had Fusilli with a side salad including: Finely sliced red pepper, iceberg, Bistro salad with chard, spring onions, mayo and a small amount of crumbled stilton.

    I did a very similar batch for the freezer a month or so ago for that very purpose. Don't tell mini about the peppers. She thinks it's just tomato.

    Clever move.

    Shorty can be quite fussy though she's eaten plenty of food with the very stuff in it that she claims she doesn't like.

    Shin of beef and bean stew. Dried beans soaked overnight, cooking in a nice stock for 45 mins before adding to the beef with a few sausages thrown in. Cooked for hours 🤞
