Happy Days

I rarely buy a magazine that's sealed in plastic. That tells me one of two things.
1. The publishers are not confident that the contents are good enough to sell.
2. The publishers don't want our sticky fingers all over the mag while we queue.
Either way I don't much care, I don't want to buy a pig in a poke. However, when I saw the Jamie Oliver DVD inside the plastic wrap on Taste magazine I had to buy it. What a bargain, I imagined it would be about 20mins of teaser advertising when in fact it's about 50 minutes of a really good gardening/cooking show, Jamie at Home. The Jamie Oliver magazine is out of my price range, with or without plastic wrap but I'm looking forward to the next two DVDs courtesy of Taste. The magazine's good as well.
On Saturday I made Cabbages & King's Leek and Cheese Tart. Wow, it's really good. For authenticity I bought the leeks at Spar. It's a big tart and we enjoyed it more on day two, it seemed to settle. Thanks to the Jamie DVD I was able to wash the leeks correctly.
