- A sunshine tulip and white sketches. 02/05/2013The tulips I brought back from Amsterdam last year are all in bloom, except for 3 Allium bulbs that I lost to greedy rabbits. I picked all white bulbs and got big surprise when a few of the carefully picked white bulbs turned out to be a bright sunny yellow! That is OK. Oh well, […]myfrenchkitchen

- The Back Door 13/05/2013We don't live in the kind of house with a back door that the family or friends use to enter the house. But my Grandmother had a farmhouse like that. In fact no one ever entered her house through the front door.But I love the idea of the presentable front, and the welcoming informality of the back door. I have a friend who lives in a part of the world wh […]

- Mulch, propagating and gifts from neighbours 06/05/2013My favorite gardening show Gardening Australia talked about growing plants solely for mulch. A waste of space I thought while watching it. I recently cut back my lemongrass for mulch, but still harvest it for cooking and tea. One plant that has not been used for much is the cardamom. I was so excited upon finding my first plant. Gosh I could grow my o […]

I was thirteen and visiting my mum in hospital after she'd had some pretty major surgery. She was still woozy from anaesthetic and as I sat there, watching her chest gently rise and fall, my eyes strayed to the gift laden table beside her.Amid the clutter of fruit baskets and artf […]

- Tapas Salad: Apple & ManchegoRecently, at a Spanish tapas restaurant, the waitress recommended the simple apple w/ Manchego salad. I really had no interest, but she insisted that it was her personal favorite. Well, it is now our favorite too. How could something so simple, be so good? It's like spaghetti & meatballs, they just go together nicely. I searched a lot of Spanish web […]

- Disaster - a broken beak!Yesterday afternoon as I went out to feed the chickens, I was surprised to see Artemis already on his roost in the coop, but didn't think all that much of it. I filled the food bowls and dished out some snacks to all the girls and then, what I did find funny, was the fact that Artemis didn't come for his share. I went up to him where he was sitting […]

- Tummy Grumbles for Granola 21/04/2013“My tummy grumbles for that!” my youngest son said as he pointed to the jar of Granola I had made on whim the night before whilst he was tucked up in bed. There’s something nice about a big glass jar of granola sitting perched on the kitchen counter - don’t you think? I’m not sure what it is? It’s probably linked to my obsession with food and lifestyle mag […]

But anyway, it falls to me to put the ad in craigslist. A simple part time receptionist job, paying a mere $10 per hour, and I got over 200 responses the first day. After plowing through the first 30 […]

I just checked, and I’ve posted about slaw almost as many times as I’ve posted about scones, but here’s one more that’s very worth considering for Memorial Day weekend or any summer party. It’s from Plenty, and the recipe is a […]

Columbia Living published another recipe spread of mine: “Simple Salads & Sandwich Spreads.” YEA! Seeing my wo […]

- Citrusy Tomato and Olive Salsa with Salmon 16/05/2013Citrusy sweet oranges, tangy tomatoes, and briny green and imported black olives join together in a lively salsa to bring big bold flavors to salmon. This is the kind of dish I call transitional, or between seasons. It is a great time of the year to make this while you can still buy those big navel oranges in the store. I find plum or roma tomatoes to be rel […]
