I have about the worst memory in the world, so my memories are always sketchy and few. So I want to record what memories of Mumma I still have now, before they get even more faded ( Read more... )

Today I visited the berry farm (Berry Sweet) to get some delicious strawberries to make strawberry jam with, because we've run out due to Will's recent desire to have "nuttelex, jam, and honey" on his toast.  Seemed like overkill to me, but I'm willing to humour him :-)  Perhaps I am missing a major taste sensation by not trying it myself!

Anyway, ( Read more... )

Thursday night we had Chile Con Queso & tortilla chips for tea.  Definitely not the healthiest of meals, since Chile Con Queso is an extremely cheesy sauce!  But damn it was good.  I blame the cherry tomato plant.  It's been produceing quite a few cherry tomatoes, but we haven't really been eating them because, well, they're best in salads, aren't ( Read more... )

A few weeks ago we had stuffed trout for tea.  I thought I might type up the recipe before I forgot!

Last week Will was playing with some wooden vegetables that you "cut" in half with a wooden knife (they are velcro-d together), and when he gave half a mushroom to Peter, Peter said "yum, now I can make a cream of mushroom soup". That sounded totally delicious to me, so when we got home I found a recipe & made some! And it was just as delicious as ( Read more... )

I know it's been forever since I've posted... I have been cooking - and yummy interesting food at that.  I've just been failing to type the recipes up at all.  Which really sucks, because then sometimes a month later I think "gee, we had that yummy thing a little while ago, we should have that again... where's the recipe?... oh yeah, I forgot to ( Read more... )

I know that sounds like it would be Portuguese, but it's actually an Indian dish, from when the Portuguese were in India for the spice trade.  And it's delicious!

First you have to make a Vindaloo Paste - or buy one, but where's the fun in that?

I made some muffins this week!  I had a great recipe I'd found a few months back for banana & walnut muffins, but Peter's computer crashed, and all my recipes were on it :-( (all fixed now)  So I searched the internet hoping to find the recipe (as I had originally got it off the internet) - but no luck.  I found this recipe instead though:

The coriander plants (that self-seeded from last year - yay!) were starting to get a bit out of control, so I figured it was time to eat either asian, indian, or middle eastern.  I had a quick look in the middle eastern book & found a recipe which would use up my coriander & also my excess parsley!  Brilliant!  And, I have to say, absolutely ( Read more... )
