On the kitchen bench.

Did I say we're shearing? Did I say that when you're shearing you go through a lot of food? A lot. And so, consequently there's been a lot of foodstuffs on the kitchen bench lately.

A teapot or two, or three, or more!

The sun is shining (at times) today. But the wind is freezing!!! So the littlest one and I decided it was time for a proper teapot of tea... To warm us on the inside...

Confessions of a kettle

Chicken, tomato and avocado

We have a funny little saying our family... "Chicken, tomato and avocado!"

Sliced Rainbow

There's something about a slice of watermelon that looks like a rainbow isn't there?

And the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is that great summer sweetness that dribbles down your fingers and arms!

Yay for summer :-) And yay for fresh fruit!

Recipe from Life - Fruit Salad

Today is a day for fruit salad. Last Saturday was too! It's a summer dessert for when the sun is shining and you're at least a teensy bit hot... do you agree?

Naturally sweet(ened)

Are you naturally sweet??? I'm not, I have to work on adding sweetness to my nature. But this yoghurt is lovely just as it is...
