Footprint Eight: Another milestone on the road to self-sufficiency

This evening, I made up a lovely meal using some of the products of my labours:
  Some fresh runner beans [bought, not grown];
  Some left over cooked mince;
  Some tomato jam [used like chutney];
  Some rice spice [the nice dried onion spice that one gets in supermarkets];
  Some ground salt, ground black pepper and some paprika.

Just before serving, I included a handful of fenugreek sprouts, which were in the pot long enough to heat
through, but which were still crunchy.  It was a lovely supper, with the added benefit of knowing that I had contributed to at least two of the ingredients - the tomato jam and the sprouts.  This is another milestone on the road to self-sufficiency.
