Recently I have been working on my article, and making new dishes that I haven't made before. Inspired by a recent thread on cam.misc, I made gnocchi (for those who followed the thread, mine _did_ float after a couple of minutes - it was very exciting :-). They seem to turn out rather too large and sticky, but taste nice. I'll make them again for my friend A when he comes over for dinner tonight.
I also made lemon sorbet, which was great fun, although I did manage to accidentally zest my knuckle rather than the lemon at one point (ouch). It took a while to freeze, as our freezer box is small and not very powerful, but it worked in the end.
I am cross that Sainsbury's have stopped stocking quorn roasts. I wonder if I can get them anywhere else in Cambridge.
My article is mostly done, and looks very pretty.

Sainsbury's have stopped stocking Quorn roasts ? That is quite evil.... however I'm fairly sure I've seen some at the Coldham's Lane Sainsbury's.

And I know that the Milton Tesco's stock them (so the new one on Newmarket Road may as well).

I'll try them, thanks. Quorn's own site claimed that Sainsbury's was the only chain to (sometimes) stock the roasts, so I thought I was out of luck. I wish Coop did them; they're much closer. Al-Amin's do quite a lot of the Quorn range, but unfortunately not the roasts.

see if the Asda at the Beehive does them? Or an own-brand vegetarian roast? They'll probably be cheaper than 'we want to be M&S' Sainsburys

I've never come across any other varieties of vegetarian roast except the Quorn one. I'd certainly try one if I found it.
