I just made some green tomato chutney, using a recipe from the BBC food site.
I don’t know whether the chutney will be good or bad, only time will tell. What threw the spanner in the works for me (and made me miss the first half of the rugby semi finals) was the fact that the prep took an hour, and I needed to sterilize 3 extra jars (in addition to the 500ml parfait and 4 normal sized jars I already had). Why did I not anticipate the timing and quantities? See below.
So approx 4 jars = 8 jars (one of which is huge)

I didn’t find any mushrooms, although Milo and I had a lovely walk. He’s exceptionally good company for walks.
Not sure what these where, but Milo didn’t like the taste, so we didn’t bring any home.

Radiohead’s new album is still good.

We have been out looking for mushrooms several times now, and have yet to find anything too exciting.
I have a basket full of Common Puffballs. They are edible, but none of my books think they are worth the bother - so I’d be interested to hear opinions on this.
The collection we got last week went in the compost bin, as I wasn’t 100% confident that they were edible. Plus the books (yet again) said that Suillus bovinus (Cow bolete) are not really worth eating.
Hey-ho. We’re going off again tomorrow to have another hunt. Rumor has it that there are chantrelle and ceps in the woods near Cranbrook. This is according to a BHB (Big Hairy Biker) I met, who was also hunting mushrooms. Unfortunately he didn’t want to tell me exactly where they are because he wanted them. Maybe if I’d have had more tattoos he’d have confided in me.
Radiohead
In other news, I paid one pound to download the new Radiohead album (here) and now I wish I’d paid more. It’s a really great album. Like all the best albums, it takes a couple of listens to get it - but there are some really fabulous tracks on it. My favorite (currently) is: Faust Art (track 6).
I recommend getting it if you have a soul (in the strictly non immortal hokus-pokus sense)
