In Doy’s garden
Log it in Doydum and a row of aubergines sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.
Peanut butter is roasted peanuts ground into a smooth or crunchy paste, sometimes with salt, sugar or oil added. It is spread on toast, stirred into oats and smoothies, and paired with banana or apple slices.
A heaped spoon holds much more than a level one, so weighing what goes on your toast once is eye-opening.
