Recycling

The recycling bin looks almost pretty at this time of year.

Greys Court

I played tennis at Greys Court in May. The house contains my dream kitchen (alas, no pictures allowed inside the house).

Broad Beans

Broad beans, freshly picked from the garden. If the idea for cotton wool didn't come from broad bean pods then where did it come from?

Green Spaces

It’s raining and everything looks green again. Collage via pictures from Life in the Slow Line (not a typo!) one of my favourite Japanese blogs .

Calendar Blues

I suspect my calendar antics might have something to do with the disappearance of May. I loved April’s image and the current month of June rocks my boat too, but May just didn’t do it for me, so I stuck with April and the month of May just drifted away...

Everyday Raw Desserts

Following on from my previous post (ahem, lecture) ...

As the temperature rises so does my raw percentage (in the most light-hearted of ways), so I thought some pictures from my most recent raw purchase might just fit the bill.

As is no doubt patently clear, I remain far more interested in eating locally than rawfully and Kenney’s recipes always seem to fit the bill for ‘local’ adaptations. For example, if you don’t want to use lemons I’ve found the juice of a sour cooking apple to work a treat (or start growing your own lemon tree). Similarly, and as I mentioned in my last post, try honey or stevia (grown from seed) mixed with rapeseed oil to make a liquid sweetener consistency similar to agave (as called for in various recipes).

Everyday Raw Desserts, following in the Kenney tradition, contains pictures which will have you drooling ... and no wheat, animal fats, refined sugar, etc. I love it!
