New kitchen, same old stuff

posted Friday, 1 September 2006
Spud, mini-Spud and I finally moved house on Tuesday - we've 'moved out to the country' and are overjoyed at it.

What it does mean is that I've lost all the Asian shops at the bottom of the road that we had in South London - so today I had to buy fresh herbs from a supermarket - a little bag of coriander at £1.69... I am used to buying enormous bunches for 50p.  If anyone knows of any good Asian shops in the area of Lingfield, Oxted, East Grinstead please let me know!



In the new house we have a bigger kitchen, I'm glad to say - so why can't I fit all my stuff in it?  We also have a large conservatory off the kitchen that we're going to use as a dining room - it's like having dinner in the garden all year round - I'll get some photos posted of the first dinner party we can manage!



Why is it you can move from one small kitchen/diner to a larger kitchen plus separate diner and still not have room for everything?

You'll just have to grow your own herbs, it's a very satisfying thing to do. I know how you feel, trying to find new homes for all the kitchen paraphinalia! Good luck.

Hi Toni-Anne I will grow the herbs next year - a friend emailed me to suggest this too. We have alot of mint already growing in the garden and I brought with me some oregano and rosemary plants, and my parents are looking after a bay tree for me... So next year, am going to grow the following: -Thyme -Parsley (both flat and curly leaves) -Marjoram -Coriander and I also want some that are harder to find here including -chervil -sorrel

Any other suggestions for 'different' herbs that will grow in South East England most welcome!
