Is it slightly tragic that I'm really, really excited about fresh peas and broad beans being in season? I don't care if it is, because I love fresh peas and broad beans. I've been known to eat the peas raw, straight out of the pod... 

So although I think making risotto is the biggest faff, it had to go on this week's menu as I think it's the best way to showcase the very first peas and broad beans of the season.

pea, garlic & ham soup (disappeared off last week's menu as we escaped the city for the weekend)
pasta al ragù
risotto with crushed raw peas & broad beans & mozzarella
something, something & something (none of which are my problem as it's my birthday and I'm not cooking)
asparagus & goat's cheese omelette
pesto-baked chicken with potato croquettes & tomato salad

I'm going to have to be a bit better at batch cooking this week. Work-wise I'm kind of twiddling my thumbs before the storm - today and tomorrow have been quiet but I may not see the light of day for a week or so from Thursday. 

So far I've steamed and frozen the asparagus, cooked up a big batch of meat ragù and frozen half. Then this evening a delightful job awaits: podding all the peas and broad beans for tomorrow's risotto. It's glam, this parenting lark...
