Guest Blogger Calling

I feel privileged to be the allotment blog's first guest blogger so thought I'd better come up with some good reports from the allotment produce.

Firstly, the plums - we made a delicious "Friar's Pudding" with the recipe from mummy:

Step 1: Put plums in a dish
Step 2: Top with breadcrumbs
Step 3: Bake
Step 4: Eat

The crumble made the long journey to North Kent as our offering for Sunday lunch at Matt's mum's house and it went down a treat. I can report that the best accompaniment is vanilla ice cream.

Secondly, was the super-marrow that filled up the whole of the back seat of the car on the journey back to London. I stuffed it with pork, apple, beans, sage and parsley (the latter 2 ingredients are produce of Colliers Wood) and served it with a cheesy mustard sauce. It was delicious but we had a little too much stuffing so ended up baking the whole thing so we've got half left - if anyone is passing SW19 and would like some stuffed marrow, there's plenty to go around!

The photos below show the before...



and after (you'll notice that we couldn't even wait to take a photo before we started to eat)...




I also thought I would take the opportunity to show off the produce that we've been growing in our garden. These are our first 3 red tomatoes, hopefully the others will ripen soon...



Hopefully we'll have lots to report about the mini-allotment that is growing in our garden very soon but until then, I hope you enjoyed the first report from Junior-Allotmenteer.
