Some of the things I've been eating since I moved to Moss Side:
Spaghetti with tomato sauce and mushrooms. Dan made this. 
My first attempt at sushi. Inside: avocado, yellow pepper, tofu, shreds of raw leek, carrot. I made these without a rolling mat, using a clean folded up tea towel instead. The YouTube tutorials I watched before attempting them were very reassuring. I would recommend it.
Baked marinaded tempeh slices, roast mushroom, courgette, garlic and broccoli and mashed potatoes
with greens in them. This might have been a joint effort between Dan and I. It was a while ago and I can't quite recall.
Roast butternut squash, puy lentil salad, cucumber and radish raita, potatoes roasted with garlic and paprika. Washed down with a Belgian beer, this is what Dan and I had for dinner tonight.
In April, I planted some fenugreek in a trough and had to keep them indoors because of the hail. As soon as the temperature went up, I dragged them out. I left it to grow too long and it went a bit tough. The last few plants weren't good enough to use in cooking, so I just ate them raw. Tasty, but stringy. Eleanor planted some rocket seeds in little cardboard pots, which I have been tending to. Some of the leaves are starting to grow with wavy edges, just like the rocket you see in the shops. It's very exciting. Dan's mum potted up some oregano, parsley and rosemary, and Humaira gave me a lovely pot of chives. Things are taking off.
I don't have a salad spinner, so instead, I loosely wrap the wet leaves in a clean tea towel then wave them round, sometimes above my head, and the water droplets fly off. Dan thinks it silly. He's right, but it does work a treat.
