Like most folks, it’s frugal January where tax bills loom for those of us self-employed and where lots of us are feeling the pinch of the new year. I quite like making the pennies go a bit further and so today I made some delicious broccoli, kale and Stilton soup using the left over Christmas cheese and chicken stock I made from a leftover roast carcass. It was pretty yummy and so much better than store-bought. And even though it’s January, nature is still giving with plentiful supplies of oyster mushrooms and velvet shank mushrooms that I had for breakfast. Anyone else rationing eggs since the prices shot up and there’s a shortage in the UK thanks to bird flu? . . . #oystermushrooms #frugalliving #velvetshank #enokimushroom #foragingisfun #homemadesoup #leftoverlife #mushroomhunter #breakfastisserved #woodlandwalk https://www.instagram.com/p/CnAZ3hXrtWi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
