Earth Day, Horse and Marmite

1 It’s Earth Day today and we recognised the day by planting two new shrubs in our garden, Choisya Ternata which smells lovely and another whose name escapes me at the moment and it’s too dark outside now to go out and read the label!!

2 There’s a new horse in the field behind our house, very beautiful.

3 Sometimes I get such a yen for Marmite! I just had to make some Marmite and Red Onion Scones which are delicious when still a bit warm and with butter on! You can find the recipe and see the photos on my new Food, Recipes and Photos Page. (How can I link that page to this post? Any help out there, please?) The thought of scones was planted in my head by Choc Chip Uru of http://gobakeyourself.wordpress.com/ but I needed the savoury ones this time.

Cheeky Squirrel, Horses and Apple Mincemeat Crumble (and recipe for the scones)

25 Jan

1 We thought we might keep the pigeons and squirrels out by upturning a hanging basket over the bird food and clipping it down but, no!

2 The horses have returned to the field behind our house! I couldn’t take a photo as it has been Cornish misting all day but it’s such a pleasure to have them back.

3 We hardly ever do puddings these days but the weather was so grey and mizzly, comfort food was required. Some mincemeat left over from Christmas, a couple of cooking apples and come oaty crumble mix from the freezer and, in no time, a delicious pud for the eating!

and just for today……

4 I’ve had a couple of people ask for the recipe for the Marmite Scones. Here it is. The recipe says to make 8 but they must be huge! I pat them a bit thinner and make about 20 small ones. Just remembered, I didn’t have any plain yogurt in so I used Vanilla! Your choice. Enjoy!
