Oh dear it's been a long time since I've done one of these posts. I've been thinking about it each month then the days come and go and well, here it is, en masse if you will. March/April was the last wrap up so this is a snapshot of mid-April up until today. Off we go into a few months of stuff, organised into only slightly random categories that make sense in my head, to link up with Celia's August 'In My Kitchen'. Cookbooks Some made by me, some by others, some may appear as review posts. … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen – March/April 2013
I'm not sure what happened to March but all of a sudden it was April so I figured I'd just do a big'ol combined post to link up with Celia’s April ‘In My Kitchen’… In my kitchen this March and April: Remember my ginger growing attempts from February? Well both the one under the soil and on top were failures, but what would you know another piece sprouted on its own... I buried most of it leaving only the very top of the bud to peek out of the soil out and before I knew it roots were growing … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen – February 2013
Here we are halfway through another month and it's time for me to share a bit of what is happening round these parts for Celia’s ‘In My Kitchen’ February linkup... In my kitchen this February: Remember how back in December I burnt out the motor on my food chopper trying to make nut butter? Well I finally pulled our old one out of a storage bin in the garage. I scored this beauty about a decade ago from St Vinnies for something like $20. At the time I was on a work-not-allowed visa, … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: January 2013
Looking around my kitchen in early January I thought to myself "after a robust first go in December surely there's nothing left to share for Celia's 'In My Kitchen' January linkup". Boy was I wrong. There were of course a few bits and pieces from Christmas but it is amazing what else pops up when you're looking for it! Off we go… In my kitchen this January: Last month I made it quite clear that we have unfortunate counter tops, so I figured this month we'd start off with a peek at them. … [Read more...]
In my kitchen: December 2012
Each month, Celia from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial hosts a feature called 'In my kitchen'. After months of peeking in through the window at other people I figured it was time to share what's happening on my own yellow laminate benchtop! A few new discoveries and a few fun bits and pieces - here we go... In my kitchen this December is: Further proof of my purple vegetable obsession manifesting in the form of purple kale and purple carrots from Eveleigh Market. ...yellow bench-top covered … [Read more...]
Did you get that at the airport?
RJ was away for work a week or two ago. He came home with presents, which is always a winner. The first one was a lovely little magnet: And on presentation I asked only half jokingly, 'did you get this at the airport?'. He almost didn't give me the other gift [oops, sorry mate!]. I am a sucker for green tea and have about 15 different kinds on regular rotation. This he found in a little tea shop in Perth that is the only place in Oz to import it. Soursop is a big fruit … [Read more...]
