Stogumber Shop and Post Office is open, accepting cash and card payments...

To the morning crook who smashed our glass,

You really showed a lack of class.

You grabbed the cash and off you fled,

With a price upon your head.

Our many Volunteers are strong,

They swept the floor and cleared the wrong.

The window pane will soon be new,

But karma’s coming after for you.

Shop and Post Office break-in
Sadly, in the early hours of this morning our lovely shop was broken into.

The police are still on the scene and until the forensic team have finished we will not be allowed to enter the premises - this means no post office facilities either.

Please bear with us and we’ll update as and when.

PAPERS - anyone with a voucher can collect these from the church porch.

One of our Volunteers has offered a solution to the "courgette glut", supplying a recipe and costing out ingredients, available from the Shop -

Courgette Fritters
● courgette,120g coarsely grated
● sea salt pinch
● egg one large
● self raising flour 3 tablespoons
● smoked prapika teaspoon (not essential just adds to the taste)
● peas,50g fresh or thawed frozen
● vegetable oil, for frying
● black pepper freshly ground
● Bouillon,( instead of salt.)

Method
Season the courgette with sea salt and set aside. (You can use a soup bouillon as an alternative to salt).
Whisk together the egg, flour and in a large bowl and season with black pepper.
Squeeze the excess water out of the courgette over the sink, then add the courgette and peas to the batter.
Heat enough oil to just cover the bottom of a large frying pan, over a medium-high heat. When the oil just shimmers, drop in heaped tablespoons of the courgette mixture, flattening them with the back of the spoon to make fritters.
Fry each one for 1–2 minutes, or until golden-brown on each side. If you need to cook in batches in a smaller pan, set the fritters to drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
I usually make a lot of these and freeze them. It's a good way of utilizing excess courgettes.
I also make courgette and tomato soup, but that's another story.

For a mango chutney yoghurt dip
2 tbsp plain yoghurt
1 tsp mango chutney

House w**e, £7.95p, available from the Shop.
Also, we are bringing in a few 'guest w**es' to provide variety.🍷

Pour a crimson red, rich and bold,

Or catch a pale white, crisp and cold.

Let bright rosé blush in your glass,

As summer evenings slowly pass.

No matter the grape, the region, or sign,

Come purchase your bottle of perfect w**e.
