Nothing like a gorgeous sunny day to make a woman neglect her indoor tasks in favour of her outdoor tasks. I arrived home from work at lunchtime and thanked my lucky stars I’d planned a quick and easy meal. The next few hours were spent in productive outdoor activity; building up another layer on the potatoes, weeding and the beginnings of what will be a raised vegetable bed once the silverbeet is finished. Very rewarding. All made of odds and ends found lurking in the garage too, not a cent was spent. Some of the wood will need to be replaced as it is not treated for outdoors, but a lovely brother has offered some leftover decking for that purpose.

4 medium potatoes
1 baby garlic shoot
500g marinara mix
1 cup grated cheese
2 spring onions, finely sliced
sour cream
seasoning
- Bake scrubbed and pricked potatoes in a moderate oven until tender

Lovely looking Swiss chard.
