This weekend I ran again to the Food for Life project in Grangetown, to help them prepare another day's worth of meals for the vulnerable.

Food For Life Wales seeks to ensure that no one in South Wales goes hungry or is malnourished. They have been active in the South Wales region for over 20 years! Right now this includes food for the homeless, care providers and individuals who are still isolating because of Covid-19.

This weekend, I spent over 3 hours sorting mangetout, chopping it up into bite-sized chunks and also peeling and chopping butternut squash to put into curry.

Did you know that mangetout literally means "eat all" in French because you eat both the pod and the pea? In American English it's known as the sweet or snow-pea. And amazingly, there was a man who ate an airplane, piece by piece - he was nicknamed Mr Mangetout. The world is a fascinating place!
