hey out there in foodie land again.............
i left all in a real quandary, been very busy
back to that night where i left off..............
mmmmmmmmmm the fish, not as happy
as i thought i would be, a slight disappointment
the mulloway didn't suite this type of recipe and
the fish was a little tooooooo dry...............
never mind there is always next time........and
next time i will use a more delicate fish eg.
'Atlantic Salmon'

hey sorry lunch took longer than i thought .......so back to the garden, oh i didn't tell you that while i was looking for some basil i came across some miniture tomatoes and i am about to plant them. they will join the thyme, sage and chilli ................anyway a thought !! while i was down @ the wonderful fruit and veg down the road, I was looking at the cashew nuts a lovely lady who was doing same shared with me a quick tip (amazing how people just want to tell you things) She said to put some cashews into a processor, add a small amount of water and a few drops of vanilla essence, process into a smooth paste, put into a dipping bowl and dip in your favourite fruit pieces mmmmmmmmmmm nice sweet idea.......
Welllll what a relaxing day.................. time to head back into the kitchen
dinner is just around the corner................................

Well hi there in foodie-land i have a free day today mmmmmmmmmm a little tired as i have been working lots in the last few days cocktail parties,dinners you know all the things people love to go to and be entertained.
Sooooooooo how shall I start the day ? breakfast ? a cup of herbal tea is in order I think................garden looks 'great' as i look out of the windows, rained quite heavily last night gave the plants a big drink the herbs and vegies look great too. Cool i shall fill up the empty spots with the tomato seedlings (that have been sitting for a couple of weeks in the pot) and i will go out and purchase some basil to join the tomatos now there is a heavenly match( oh yes don't forget the boconcini and virgin olive oil mmmmmm that wont grow in the garden !! no but nice lunch idea with fresh custy bread).
