So this happened
We went away for a couple of days and this happened.
6 x giant courgette.
Slice thinly. Salt and pepper and use in place of lasagne sheets. Layer with finely chopped vege, pasta sauce and cheese sauce and you have an awesome, tasty vegetarian lasagne. Or make zucchini fritters. Or sauté with garlic butter. Or use in stir fry.
Just use your imagination. They really are very versatile. And extremely under appreciated.
Just message me how many of them you want. And if you have ideas or recipes for them.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
