Images from last week

Last week we had Fairhall school selling raffles and gaining entries to their Kids Duathlon. 

Unfortunately our first busker got called away to a fathers day celebration, however the Marlborough Sounds Barbershop Chorus came gave us a great harmonious chorus, to finish up with

What else is happening?

Verve flowers have been planting seedlings and nurturing Tulips and Stock. They are very close to having enough flowers to start attending the market. This years flowers are looking amazing!

Mama Lous and DFC will return this week

I have also heard a rumour that The Mush Room may be back soon with their amazing selection of mushrooms

Long Acre is on holiday, so we wont be seeing them till October.

Recipe

I made a delicious Steak Pepper Stew, using rump steak(500gms) but you could use any stewing steak , toss the cut up meat in fresh ground peppercorns (about a tsp) and put aside. Finely slice 1 onion and sauté off with some garlic and chillies to taste, add 1 tblsp of butter.  Once nicely amalgamated add the  meat and give a quick browning. Then slowly mix in some beef stock about 1 and half cups. To that add 1/2 tblsp Worcester sauce, 1 tsp Dijon mustard . Chop up some potatoes around 250gms and mix them in. Leave to simmer until meat is tender and potatoes are cooked. You can add some cream if you wish at the end, and parsley to finish. If you want to really step it up you could  add smoked paprika, and  brandy/cooking sherry/red wine. Check seasonings and add salt and more pepper to taste.

I served this with some Minghetties rye bread and of course a glass of red wine.
