This mornings journey to New Ferry and The Farmer’s Market ended up being more meat oriented than I had originally intended.

All I really wanted was a piece of steak for lunch and something to throw into a chilli.

I had been planning on making the chilli with lamb but when I got to the butcher’s counter I spotted a sign for mutton. I thought that would go just as well so I asked for some. It transpired they had run out but I was offered some higher instead.

I also picked up some bacon, the steak, a ox heart, two pig’s feet, some lamb’s kidneys and a chicken. So the rest of the family didn’t feel left out I bought two punnets of strawberries.

The fridge is groaning and I am probably another few days closer to an early grave.
