Roots, Sculpture and New Recipe

My job at Community Roots today was planting the flower seeds for the pollinators that go in each row 11 – 10 veg rows and one flower row all the way across the patch.

The sculpture next door is changing every day with some of the wood added to the tail today. There has been much entertaining speculation from passers by wondering what is going on – drilling for oil or mining for lithium perhaps! Today, next doors’ sculptors have put the maquette at the front of the drive, a fox in the act of leaping onto its prey.

Jamie Oliver has a new short series on TV about cooking with an air-fryer. Tonight I made his fish dish, haddock with sun-dried tomato pesto and parma ham on a bed of garlicky beans. It was delicious and took 15 minutes from start to on the table!

Hallowe’en, Soup and Cake

31 Oct

This came my way for Hallowe’en and I thought you might all like it, Dear Readers. Happy Hallowe’en to you all.

Found in Monkseaton, UK

I’ve made three pints of beautiful Pumpkin Soup, a new recipe which suggests serving with creme fraiche and crispy bacon. It was delicious. Thanks to M&S who gave us the pumpkin some weeks ago.

I treated myself to a proper non-stick bundt tin last time we went to Truro and today made Jamie Oliver’s Tangerine Dream Cake again. It is much better cooked in the proper tin, looks good and tastes better too.

Cake, Chickens and Blue

13 Oct

I iced the cake this morning with tangerine icing and took it to our friends for a lovely catch up.

On my drive home I noticed two chickens on gateposts advertising that fresh eggs were for sale so I stopped to get photos.

Today we’ve planted the Hydrangea in the freshening-up border along the way from the Mountain Pine. Here’s a photo of what it should look like next summer.

Smile Cake and A Pine Tree

12 Oct

I made a new cake today, one of Jamie Oliver’s that he calls Tangerine Dream Cake. I’m calling it Smile cake as it cracked looking like a smile. It’ll get its tangerine icing tomorrow before we take it to meet with some special friends. .

We’ve been clearing part of the front garden that has become rather overgrown. We have bought a small, slow growing Dwarf Mountain Pine which we are assured will be happy in our garden despite us not being in the mountains. We have some other treasures to go in too, including lots of Tete a Tete narcissi bulbs..

New Cake, Tulips and a Veggie Supper

05 Apr

Jamie Oliver has a new programme that we caught by accident last week where he is helping people to cook with limited ingredients, encouraging experimenting if you don’t have all the ‘correct’ ingredients and demonstrated a no egg Chocolate Cake (as eggs are very hard to come by at the moment. I scribbled down the recipe – very quick and easy, no eggs, lots of nuts and oh, so moreish! We had it warm with single cream. It would be good with ice-cream too.
We left some on the step for our lovely neighbour to try too and a note for the neighbours on the other side that there is some waiting for them in thanks for the SR flour they found for us.

Our tulips are gorgeous!

Tonight’s meal was another new recipe, this time a Yotam Ottolenghi one from this weekend’s Feast magazine that comes with The Guardian. I served it with yogurt and slivered almonds and a naan rather than with the suggested rice. But, seriously, who grates a tomato let alone four?! We chopped them and it worked really well and was very tasty. We had no spinach so I used the cauliflower greens chopped up instead.

Super Moon, Breakfast and Weather Vane

28 Sep

Last night’s Super Moon was lovely to watch. Sadly when we got up at 3am to see the Blood Moon, clouds had almost completely obscured the moon. We just had tantalising glimpses.

2 We had the most delicious breakfast this morning – an eggy bananaey bread sandwich stuffed with fruit including the few blackberries from the garden that I showed you a day or two ago. it is from a Jamie Oliver recipe and was just ambrosia!

3 The sunlight was shining in the weathervane on top of Truro Cathedral this afternoon. We called in to Truro after my six week check-up with the surgeon at Treliske and he is very happy with my progress.
