Last night's supper was both summery and somewhat autumnal.
The latter because, for the first time in yonks, I made more than salad: a quick frittata.
With seasonal ingredients.
The summery bit was the salad. My journey with repurposed jars and shelf life continues to excite and teach me. I made this marinated chickpea salad a week ago and bottled it on Saturday morning while the bread baked.
The baby spinach leaves were still fresh and there was no hint of deterioration in the chickpea mixture. I honestly don't think that would be the case in plastic. Even Tupperware. Especially as that final jar had "done" two markets, sitting outside a fridge and in a cool box for a protracted length of time, two days in a row.
Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
