Afternoon all. 
I made my first shortcrust pastry today, usually relying on Aldi's ready rolled puff pastry. Made a mince and tattie pie with it and it was quite nice. Must admit its a dam site easier and probably just as cheap with the ready rolled stuff, so it's off to Aldi in the future. 
A good skill to have under my belt though.
Fancy making some sweet cucumber relish but haven't got enough cukes at home. I remember planting three cucumber plants outside at the plot but they are mixed in with the butternut squash, so hopefully if I have a dig underneath foliage I may find some more!
