Our New Life in the Country: Spiralizing

Spiralizing

I hoiked my new gadget out of the cupboard and had a go at spiralizing this week. It worked a treat and on a hot day .....

... a plate full of cool spiralized courgette or 'courgetti' is just what you need.

I don't think I really need one of these .... lol, but the chickens loved it.

With some homemade Ratatouille it made for a lovely tasty tea.

This post is to take my mind of what lurks near the polytunnel, I'll let you in on that one tomorrow when I've taken a couple of photos of it!!

A snake? The children just spotted a snake disappear in under the barn bridge, it is now hiding out under the wood stack, juck! Your meal looks fun :). Happy weekend, from Pam in Norway

I saw the Hemsley sisters on TV & ordered their cook book. Interested to see how you get on.

Have you found something of historic value ( a burial site ) which means you have to have the whole plot dug up ?

Hello Sue! This looks a great gadget to have, I might have to invest! I hope that what lurks near the polytunnel is not too scary! :) Fiona - Lucy's Cottage

I do like my spiralizer too. I treated myself to one with some Amazon Points I had. I wasn't sure about it when I first pulled it out of the box.. I thought mmm really... But how fun it is and it does a nice job with most of the veggies I have tried in it this thus far. I must say Zucchini are my favorite thing to run through it. They are so versatile as to what you can do with them!

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.

Sue xx
