Just grab a selection of root or hard veg you have in the house. Dice in to roughly equal sizes, slice some garlic (as much as you want), toss in olive oil, season with S&P, place on baking tray and chuck in the oven gas mark 5-6 for 25-30 minutes. MAGIC! Serve with any meat you like.
My missus does this with baby new potatoes, carrots, leeks and sausages. All cut to roughly the same size. Plenty of rough cut garlic, black pepper and a chilli. Yummy! :hungry:

Time to get up!
I'll cut the rear lawn this morning, then have a stroll down the village for a couple of pints of wallop and some fish & chips. :smile:

Yep @Dirk it works with just about everything.

We also have a meal which includes interesting potatoes - basically diced potatoes, olive oil, garlic and some veg all roasted together.

Interesting?? One evening when the kids were young one of them asked their very tired and frazzled mother "what's for tea?" Mother replied "something and potatoes." Child "Not potatoes. Potatoes are boring.".....................

Mother roars from the kitchen "Well these are INTERESTING potatoes" and ever since then you can guess the name this dish has!!! :smile:

Good morning folks, up early to watch the F1 qualifying from Japan, it looks very dark and wet outside, I've done last night's washing up and put the washing on and I'm now settled on the settee in front of thr fire with a :cuppa: waiting for it to start.

Hello people. I have now slept through the night without waking for five nights.

Last night I picked, cleaned, deseeded and oven dried the remaining chillies. As a precaution I wore latex gloves...........

Paul's top tip for today? After messing with a lot of chillies wash your hands VERY thoroughly before going for a pee....:eek: Deep heat doesn't come close

Dog walked, and I've already swallowed a load of George Clooney's hot, sweet liquid. It's started raining here, so maybe a few hours with my Stephen Leather book, then decide what to do. I'm on call for SAR, so no booze. Retirement mooching is great.

Caravan brought back home this morning. Got a couple of jobs to do (there's always something I can find!) and give it a thorough clean after our last foray.
Off on Monday for a week, to a site that's new to us, not far from Dunster in Somerset.
Just booked a week at a site on Dartmoor for Christmas.
Reckon we'll have done about 85 nights away in the caravan by the end of this year.
This year has gone so quickly! :huh:
