Sounds yummy and in time-honoured fashion I've nicked it.

One for the summer though I think - we're under 50cm or so of snow. We definitely won't be eating salad!

I'm going to give this a go(think roasted veg ,and some sort of chilli sauce,instead of salad,) tonight or tomorrow.

That sounds like a nice stodgy warming meal which I guess could be used with all sorts of veg. I made gnocchi for the first time the other day and it's the same potato/flour mix as that or potato pancakes - all fill the tum nicely!

Sounds a better option than salad in the winter, especially the chilli sauce
