Bit of a grim old day, if not as wet as forecast.
Wandered down to the butcher earlier on and picked up some chicken thighs, bacon (smoked streaky), and 2.5kg of diced venison (at £8.80/kg cheaper than the stewing beef I had intended to buy). The venison will go with 800g of "yellow sticker" mushrooms we found in Tesco for 64p to be a big batch cook for the weekend.
Main job for the afternoon has been peeling all of what I consider to be our "C grade garlic". A job I've been putting off, but now I have noticed they're sprouting so it needs doing.
The garlic will be going into the food processor with some oil and then get frozen as "garlic cubes".
I'm only half way through but my right thumb is already hurtin'!
