Burgers with a difference

Last night was pasta night. Huh? Why is the post title "Burger..."? Because I messed up. Not the pasta, but my series of photos for another installment

Four Photo Thursday: talking turkey

Thursdays are egg supper and when I checked in with farmer P, she told me that the ducks were on strike. She did say, though, that she had turkey eggs. If I would

On food journeys

I love knowing where my food comes from. Some wag will say, that one always knows because, well, it's from the selected retailer. When it comes to the potatoes and

Four photo Thursday - with book feline "bookends"

Rambo has contentedly staked his claim on the bed. As the weather turns it - the bed - is contested territory. For the Cats' Mother, particularly, winter mummification

Kob: a lovely fishy

Living where we do, getting fresh and quality fish is a little like hen's teeth. Forgive the mixed metaphor... So when the good folk who run our local deli do a

Chokes: the best kind

Artichokes. Globe artichokes. One of my father's favourite delicacies and vegetables. The latter says a lot. As look back and reflect on family meals, it's with

Sweet Peas on a Three Photo Thursday

Again, it's all about garden loot. Well mostly. Last night's frittata supper with the sweetest mangetout came from a market mate's cabbage patch. A barter: he must

Working with Mother

A peak into the "bread box" that takes the sourdough rolls and loaves to the market. Like with all things, practise makes perfect and my bread has improved

Bovine by another Name

The Husband has a nose for a bargain. Especially meat. He has built a great relationship with the guy who runs one of the local "factory" outlets. They

Lovely Arugula, Monster Rocket

I told you we had monster rocket (arugula) in the garden! I experimented with flavour combinations for the salad. Again. I already know it works well with beetroot

Burgers and three, no, four Bs

Burger night: I make patties and freeze them. Both the beef and bean (vegan) versions. At the moment we have both. The Husband doesn't need asking about his choice.

More comfort(ing) food

A picking of peas from the garden, cooked with mint, made the perfect comfort food companion for the second (and last) piece of angel fish. We have had so much rain

When the subtitle is missing

I often refer to our weekly meal and shopping plan. The meal plan, I always say, is just headlines a guideline. Well, mostly. This week, there have been significant

Giving Monday the chop. Again

Last evening's meatfree supper was a simple stir fry. It's been a while. I had toyed with the idea of making wraps, but I was on a roll with something in the office.

Flowers and Fish

It's that season again. The Blushing Brides that are cultivated high in the mountains above the village. It also means spring is near. They have a short season and

Three Photo Thursday (Evening)

It was a long day in the office, yesterday, and on a Thursday evening, I need to make the dough for Saturday's buns. They are best when the dough ferments all night,

(Re-)leaf

Yes, it's a leaf. It found its way into the bedroom and on to a spot on the carpet. Looking, for all the world like a turd. Early in the morning, my stomach could
