@mamapants yeah they were pretty good actually but I fried them per the recipe, normally I’d bake something like that but the blogger said baking made them fall apart

I found samphire in the farmers market so am subbing out tonight’s meal for roast potatoes, samphire and a ton of lovely heirloom tomatoes I also found in the market (Dover sole for the rest of the family with it) and remembered it’s our wedding anniversary on Wednesday so I don’t want to cook
