New daily cooking programme

Lingered in the kitchen and lounge tidying this morning as it was so cold in the brisk north wind and happened across the new Daily Kitchen live on BBC.  For once the concept, the content and the intent was spot on. not too "cheffy"; included doing things frugally; included a bit of grow your own!
Really enjoyed they had Jack Monroe involved too and I do hope it is a sign of our times that some new fresh faces appear with a clear head about costs!

Well done the BBC finally got your act together and produced something for the moment!

So having said that, checked the schedules and content and turned off TV till about 9pm when I think something else new may interest us!! (Except for watching the Daily Doom Update at 5 pm).

Despite the cold weather returning my main task this morning was taking apart the wood burner and getting all the ash out for the summer and finding all the nails down the back from burning scrap wood! We had planned for the chimney flue to be swept after Easter but that has gone on the back burner (Ha Ha) till after Lockdown.  Then I had to wash out the vacuum cleaner as its filters were clogged. No sooner had I done that the husband turned up and started sanding some thing in the lounge. Obviously did not listen half an hour ago when I told him the cleaner was outside drying off!! Men.

Off to put into play a broth idea from this morning's TV as we have a lot of nothing much left for lunches. Tomorrow will be driving to big supermarket for a Click and Collect experience where I have ordered a months' worth of staples since we are failing to get anywhere near a doorstep delivery here.  After that it will be local shopping - butchers, bakers and milk and what ever comes from the garden. Like these cauli and lots of cabbage, spinach and asparagus to keep up our greens intake! We grew the cauli over winter in the greenhouse as an experiment and it worked quite well though we were glad to pull up today as space needed for the many other things coming on.
