I do find though that you can eat in Chinese restaurants and actually get a decent serving of veggies. My problem is they put peppers in everything and aren't very good with the issue of food problems.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-87199063976807210502013-02-13T06:46:15.933+00:002013-02-13T06:46:15.933+00:00Elaine, I think cheese sauce might be a step too f...Elaine, I think cheese sauce might be a step too far - it already has Cheddar cheese in the mash and grated Parmesan on the top.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-21648374551372620242013-02-13T00:17:47.489+00:002013-02-13T00:17:47.489+00:00that looks fantastically delicious!that looks fantastically delicious!Charmcitybalconygardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920355372618728018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-75221011234091670582013-02-12T21:46:04.796+00:002013-02-12T21:46:04.796+00:00Looks good enough to eat Mark - perhaps another op...Looks good enough to eat Mark - perhaps another option would be cheese sauce rather than tomato?elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-858008043947323972013-02-12T21:23:50.242+00:002013-02-12T21:23:50.242+00:00Well, Mark, you might just want to start writing a...Well, Mark, you might just want to start writing a cookbook!

A mixture of roots such as Jerusalem artichokes, Swede, parsnip, carrots and potatoes with some sort of sauce (can't remember what but would have had onions and garlic and herbs, topped with a cheese crumble.
