like the wine? then tear off the tab

A friend once told me how her Mum use to steam off the labels from wine bottles she liked and then stick them into a scrapbook for future shopping reference.

I’ve never gone to that trouble but I have jotted down the name of bottles we have enjoyed only to forget the place where I have jotted the names down.

Yesterday, Stu bought a tasty bottle which very cleverly had a tear off tab, thus eliminating the need to steam labels or jot down ‘must buy again’ name. Needless to say, I found this bottle with label in tact in the recycle bin which just goes to show that we can’t even remember to peel off the label, let alone keep the tear off tab in a safe place. Useless.

celery

When I buy food, I like to buy good quality produce and where possible I like it to be value for money.

Now,  I know these two don’t always go hand in hand, take this celery for example.

How much do you think this majestic, 60cm head cost?

A whopping £2.74!

Knowing that Stu dislikes celery quite a lot, I’m thinking what an earth I can create making the most of this fringed beast. Any ideas?
