Countdown to the Siege

[faustus]

There comes a point when you have to acknowledge that you have all the food you can possible eat in the house, and since the corner shop on Wincheap is open 7am-2pm on Saturday it's unlikely I'll starve. I have a surplus of brussels and potatoes and, it turns out, mushrooms, so that will make life interesting. I'v e got some stuff to make pies with, so mushrooms will go in there. I think brussel curry, sweet and sour brussel and brussel and cobnut (nutcrackers to be purchased) are on the cards.


On the other hand, I don't have gallons of bottled water, bleach and a roll of osamas, nor frankly enough pickles, as I'd planned an online Tesco shop and the weather put paid to that. If I get my ass in gear, pickled onions tomorrow. Have chutneys. Need eggeseses, but as cheap in corner shop.

I have, incredibly, spend a large amount of money on cheese (Colston Bassett Stilton - accept no substitute - Ashmore, Flower Marie, Billy Goats Gruff [Appear to have left this behind or not been sold it.], Double Gloucster, Mature Gouda, and I hope one more, in the cheddar family) and meat (Basque ham, chorizo and a sliced beef, which I can't remember the name of). But not above three figures.

I'm low on fruit and eggs, but I think I may go for a rice pudding for the Christmas meal afters itself.

Pickled brussel sprouts?
Roasted?
In Lemon Cream?

Yumster.
