Lent is a period of forty days for fasting and reflection.
It is important to remember that Sundays don't count however so eat your crisps and chocolate and drink your wine then.
The next six Sundays are going to be excellent!!
Potato Quesadillas
This is a concept more than a recipe. I don't need to tell you how to mash a potato but I would like to encourage you to make mashed potato sandwiches with tortillas and fry them gently on each side. Slice into wedges and serve on the side of your next chili.
To make quesadillas that are a meal in themselves, add anything that you like - shredded cooked chicken, ham, salami, cheese, onions, etc... A great use of left-overs.
Around the Grounds
This is a great week for planting trees. The ground is warming up nicely and the trees are just about to burst forth from dormancy. You can get a model to suit any garden.
Whether you wish to dedicate your new tree to the Queen in her diamond jubilee year, is up to you. Click the link to find out more about this venture:

Baked ApplesSo easy, so delicious.
Simply remove the core from an eating apple, score around the equator and stuff with sweet mincemeat. Sprinkle with syrup and brown sugar and bake with foil over the top in a moderate oven for about half an hour. Serve with cream.
An alternative filling is sultanas, almonds, a little butter and golden syrup.
Funny of the week
On this day in 1987, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored his first three-point shot for the LA Lakers.
He went on to be one of the most celebrated basketball players of all time.
He now works as a US Cultural Ambassador.
But who cares about those achievements?
His best work was done as the co-pilot in Airplane. Enjoy:
