Seville Orange Tart
When I was a child, my dear mama provided me with some culinary advice that I have never forgotten – “don’t mix orange and milk”. I remember drinking a glass of milk followed a short time later by a glass orange juice and then running around with my friends – and the result was not…
Listening To The Kind Of Music She Doesn’t Like
Apologies for the slight mix up in my scheduling. I misread Jim’s post last week – or confused the dates – and ended up with a song about toys ready to go this morning. When I realized late last night, I felt too weary to come up with a new Song Lyric Sunday post. So…
Budweiser Beer
I remember vividly how it was that a crate of Budweiser entered through our front door. It was one of these international football competitions (I do not recall which) that was sponsored by Budweiser. There was a deluge of advertising for Budweiser everywhere you turned. Our nephew Wills was living with us at the time…
Spiced Honeyed Aubergines With Harissa Couscous
This Waitrose recipe card taught me something I will be forever grateful for – the combination of honey and harissa is sensational. I think I need to experiment with other vegetables to see how else I can use this delicious blend. The abundance of herbs in the couscous is just wonderful, perfect for summer, and…
Scream And Shout Like You Can Say What You Want
What seemed like a not so interesting theme for today’s Song Lyric Sunday turned out to be rather interesting after all. (All is forgiven Simon Cowell). I had no idea that the likes of Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Hudson tried their hand at a television talent show. I have opted to feature Jennifer Hudson, as…
Kaapzicht Estate Bush Vine Chenin Blanc Stellenbosch
There are a dozen or so wines that seem to regularly feature in special offers at Waitrose. This is one of them. I imagine that buyers have opted to invest in large quantities as there is plenty to please most palates. Restrained but honey sweet (Robert likes the sweetness) and luscious. There seems to be…
Tortilla Quiche
I don’t often see recipe cards in Tesco, but one day they had some on display in our local Tesco Express. I believe it was part of their Food Love Series. This one was entitled Elena’s Cheeky Tortilla Quiche. I tucked it away with other recipes and it has taken ages to get around to…
Classic Like Elizabeth Taylor
Jim’s choice of theme for today’s Song Lyric Sunday has given me the chance to feature a song that kept on popping up invited whenever I was using my laptop (I really do not understand all these algo rhythms). However, I am ever so glad that RAYE kept on appearing. Her song “Worth It” has…
Lady Lewis’ Library – Dune Girl
Many of us have grown up hearing stories of men and women of faith recorded in the scriptures. Regardless of a person’s beliefs, anyone would have to acknowledge that some of the accounts of people who lived centuries ago, but faced challenges and heartbreak similar to those we encounter today, are deeply moving and often…
The Month That Was… Appreciative April
It’s amusing to me that at my age, I seem to remember more of my mother’s sage advice than in my youth. Much of what Mother Dearest had to say has been said by many. But she passed on what she felt was important to her. More than any other proverbial guidance, the phrase I…
Spring Vegetable Casserole With Asparagus And Herbed Crust
I love leeks. I love asparagus. We eat a huge amount of courgettes, broccoli and sweet potatoes. Everything about this Waitrose recipe screamed “TRY ME!!” I am so glad we did. From the first try we were hooked. We love everything about it. This is still one of our favourite vegan suppers – and it…
I Knew You Were Waiting
When I saw Jim had asked us to feature duets by popular performers for today’s Song Lyric Sunday I knew I wanted to feature one of the best duets in music chart history – yes, I really do think Aretha and George did something extraordinary in the form of their legendary track “I Knew You…
