Lobby
Lobby , a photo by thesmithsontour on Flickr. Lobby is the name potters gave to a simple stew. We both grew up eating it most weeks. My Grandparents always had a big pan of lobby on their stove & my mum used to make it in her pressure cooker.... Our version of the North Staffordshire dish is so cheap & easy to make - we love it! We use onions, garlic, lots of root vegetables, pulses, some greens & fresh herbs. You can add stock , miso or soy sauce, but cooking it slowly for a couple of hours just makes it taste so good & finishing off with a sprinkle of black pepper & the juice of half a lemon. Served in large bowls, with some home made bread fresh out of the oven... Makes a great warming meal! Hope everyone is keeping warm! Kay & Sime xx
You both certainly get a lot of exercise with all of that cleaning! I often wish I had a more physical job. It would be refreshing!
ReplyDeleteHi Molly - Most of the time it's great, but it can be exhausting too!

Enjoy your time out! xx

dont forget to get your kaftan out of the dry cleaners LOL
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough we found 2 massive kaftans the other day at the big house we were cleaning, we thought perhaps Demis Roussos had been visting...
DeleteSee you tomorrow!
Kay :)
What a busy time you’ve had! Hope you are having a lovely few days off and enjoying some wonderful weather.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the Minack Theatre brought back all kinds of memories for us. We love walking around Porthcurno and have passed the theatre many times but have never actually gone to a performance. Suzanne Vega is a blast from my past too. She’s great.
Sounds like you have a great community spirit. What a kind offer from the Vicar. Lovely to see you two enjoying yourself with the wine-French I noticed!
Congrats on those new jobs!

Thanks Sft - Porthcurno is a stunning beach, we always think it looks really exotic...
DeleteWe do have lots of lovely folks around us & the vicar is just a sweet woman who everyone loves!

ReplyDeleteThanks Sooz - we did!
DeleteHope you did too!
