Salsify!

At some point in the next day or two I am going to try a Plan-appropriate variation on Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Salsify Fritters for breakfast (see here). I'm just giving you a bit of notice so you have time to look up salsify and avoid feeling as ignorant as me - Stephanie, for once, is silent on the topic. I bought some this morning at the Farmer's Market. I'd heard of it before (maybe from my chef cousin, I'm fairly sure it's not the sort of thing that comes up in polite conversation) and thought I'd give it a go. Although the oyster-flavour description and gosh-its-big-in-Belgium almost dissuaded me. So I promise recipe, pictures and reviews.

Confession time - I missed my Thursday 6am class. I forgot to set my alarm. I slept in until a glorious 7.15am and I didn't remember until about 5.30pm. Completely mortified. I would like to apologise to all the people I not-so-silently rubbished for cancelling late or failing to turn up to a class. I will serve my salsify fritters with humble pie. And I ate half a fried potato last night. It looked at me funny.

Ciao for now.
