Roast chicken for dinner today. With it, the first picking of french beans from the garden. This year he has grown a variety which is purple. They turn green in the saucepan so they are not too disconcerting on the plate.

I drained the beans into a measuring jug, to use the water to help the gravy flavour. It was Blue! Next manoeuvre was to take the chicken out of my white enamel roasting tin, and put it to rest. I then wanted to retrieve any of the brown bits for flavour, so poured my vegetable water into the roasting tin. The blue water turned red. Instantly.

If that isn't magic, there is no magic.
