Just read this in the guardian

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/jul/02/british-farmers-supermarket-price-wars

makes grim reading and reinforces the negative views I have toward supermarkets. as some of you will know I source my meat from Taylors farm in Lathom, but there are other meat suppliers in our area so though I would put some links on hear to make things easier for you. It seems the main reason people continue to purchase things like meat and veg from supermarkets is convenience....so this is my attempt to point you in the direction of hard working farmers selling superior product at a fair price...no middlemen and no supermarket buyers driving the price down.

Firstly Taylors farm for meaat and much more

also local to us

so no excuses....keep a farmer in profit

Such a busy day today...got off to a bad start with a little motorway incident purely due to age I think, ended up on the wrong motorway miles from where I should have been...day dreaming.

Had a very small part to play at the graduation of the Innovators in Health group at the School of Social Entrepeneurs, such an inspirational lot. Met some great people and head is buzzing with ideas so not much time to cook tonight hence -

Meat balls with spicy tomato sauce

from the freezer - lamb meat balls from Taylors farm

1 can tomatoes chopped and mixed with a generous table spoon of tomato puree, a

sprinkle of mixed herbs and a dash of tobasco.

Put the meat balls in an oven dish, cover with the tomato mix

and bung in the oven on a moderate heat.

Pop out to visit a nearby friend  for a cuppa and when you get back the dish will be piping hot

and browning on top.

Top with sliced mozzerella cheese and return to oven until cheese has melted

Meanwhile toast some pitta bread, cut into chunks and serve with meat balls.

It was delicious scooping the cheesy, tomatoey sauce with the bread.

Sorry no picture...scoffed the lot before I remembered!!

Satisfied and ready for bed now.... a good day!
