Tribute to Allen

I've just had a very sad phone call from my Mum.

Allen, a good friend and colleague of my Mum's at Towneley, and who came to mine and Yorkie's wedding in his Towneley costume, passed away early this morning.

He's been unwell for a while, but would not talk about what was wrong. For a while he disappeared and had Mum and many of this other friends in the area worried, but eventually turned back up not wanting to talk about why he's been away or why he seemed so ill. His religion also meant that he would not seek medical help anyway. As of yet we do not know why he passed away.

I would ask that you take a moment to think of Allen, especially those of you who had the pleasure of meeting him.

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
