That minestrone tin reminds me, Amy’s used to do an excellent Black Bean Vegetable Soup that popped up in Waitrose or (for an extra pound) Whole Foods. Then it vanished apart from £10 tins on Amazon. What the heck?

In a previous world, I knew a chap with MS who used to say “People ask me if I have a drink problem.
