My first job in a factory (80 staff) they had a cafeteria. Morning tea i almost always had a beetroot and onion sammy. I had never had 1 before that.

Y'all seem to eat a lot of beets in that part of the world while they're kind of a rarity around here. I've got a can of sliced ones and I'll try that sammy tomorrow on toasted white bread? How do you fix it? They're pretty wet coming out of a can. I usually buy fresh and roast and save canned goods for power outages etc.

I have about 20 jars i preserve every year.
Simple boil until soft.
Put jars in oven at 150 deg
Boil 1 litre malt vinegar 1 ltre water and 1 cup of sugar.
When.ready slice beets into jars and pour.juice to top up . Seal tight.
I know you guys do it differently but I make it the way my mum and my Nan did it. Stored in garage.

Pasta alla Carbonara tonight.

Guanciale, right? And Pecorino Romano?
Otherwise you may get a visit from some uninvited gentlemen in dark suits...

 

[Barriehie]

That would screw it up

But it's homemade!!!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Leek and asparagus soup from earlier in the week, with some water crackers broken in it.

And the usual Saturday night.

I don't think our eggs yolks have ever been so orange as the moment.
