To anyone in the North of England currently being rained on: I'm sorry. It's my fault - I left my waterproof trousers at work.

I still don't envy the car drivers, though: I still get to work faster, and I don't have to use petrol or sit in a stuffy box to do it.

I really need to start using my paper recipe books more. I like reading them but after the first few weeks I turn to them less and less often. Online recipes are just so much more ... indexed, which is handy when wondering what to do with this week's vegbox, and especially handy when I'm wondering it from work. I don't know whether posting about the problem makes me more likely to do anything about it, but there you are: I'm not committing to a recipe-a-week blog (like white_hart's new blog What Shall We Eat) because I know I won't do it. This is an attempt to write a bit more about what I've been cooking, anyway.

( This week: chilli )

Planning

This week's vegbox contains:

carrots
parsnips
celeriac
sweet potatoes
calabrese
leeks
mixed peppers
mushrooms

( Ideas so far, including the Mennonite cookbook )
