Broccoli and potato stir fry
We ate more tasty treats from the garden today.
Freshly-harvested broccoli and recently-plucked potatoes provided the basics for the broccoli and potato stir fry we enjoyed tonight. With a pepper being the only other main ingredient, we could have almost eaten this with crops grown at home.
Unfortunately, the peppers are nowhere near ready yet. And yes, an onion, and some ginger are needed, too, but they’re not that substantial a part, are they?
The getting of the ginger did raise more than a few smiles, though. Worried that I wouldn’t use the rest of a larger piece, we bought one of the smallest knots we could find, only to be very embarrassed when we got to the checkout.
The cashier, clearly seeing the funny side, told us the equally small price.
‘That’ll be 5p, please,’ he said, almost sniggering.
Oh dear. We didn’t need anything else, and thought that the offending piece of root would be at least four times that much.
Undoubtedly flushed, and not wanting to pay with a £20 note, we duly found some change, and rebuffed his clearly pedantic ‘Would you like a bag for that?’ question.
