The big boy has been sick with tonsillitis this week, so it was wonderful to see the sun shine this weekend. He's back at school today, and I'm hoping it isn't too soon. We managed to get out and enjoy it with a little gardening...
harvesting our delicious potatoes & digging up a few fat worms! We also pulled out some monster sized cauliflower, any good recipe ideas would be appreciated. I love cauli just as it is, but there are so many & they are so big, I'm going to need to get a little more creative! Last night was the perfect evening for dining alfresco, so hubby cooked up a gorgeous open souvlaki dinner which went down heavenly with some sparkling shiraz, how I love this time of year...
What's happening at your house?

mmmm fresh vegies, nothing better! I tried a McCormick Packet Mix (god forbid!) Cauliflower and Potato Recipe Base the other week and it was gorgeous (and easy!). Have a great week x
ReplyDeleteI say vegetable curry!
ReplyDeleteI love cauliflower soup (had it for lunch every day last week). Really easy to make, cauli, chicken stock, garlic and a little cream. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI have no recipes to offer - sorry!
ReplyDeleteBut i do appreciate really good food, outside dining in this beautiful weather and sparkling shiraz! Sounds like bliss!
Have a great week, Dee x
Thats what we had for dinner!!!
ReplyDeleteHope the big boy has a good day at school and isn't too tired this afternoon.
Veg curry, soup, sandwiches for the kids.....just joking!
Apart from the tonsilitis it all sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteEating stuff you grew and outside, is just the best.
I'm so jealous you have summer weather it's so cold up here, Your poor son thats just miserable. I love fresh vegies out of the garden, yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhats it like having Christmas in Summer?
I'm sure Batman and his sidekick Superman were a great help in the garden!!! x
ReplyDeleteI hope your boy was ok today back at school . mY lot won't even look at cauliflower here , I like it though .
ReplyDeleteoh my, fresh veggies straight from your own backyard. I'm sure it is such a delightful moment to harvest. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than eating alfresco. Charmaine
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden. I love cauliflower au gratin - yummy cheese and white sauce. It's also nice added to a curry.
ReplyDeleteAt my house we are snuggling in by cosy fires and I'm about to try and make a tiny pinecone out of copper. Not sure it'll work but I'll give it a go...
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to hear of your spring doings over the other side of the world.
Jane Kennedy has a great way of using cauliflower instead of rice - just steam it and crumble it up and pop over the curry and yummo!! xxx
ReplyDeleteOoh homegrown produce Mel....divine! I have a very tasty recipe that I've used quite a bit with cauliflower, celery and seeded mustard as individual little ramekin pies. If you're interested just email me.
ReplyDeleteYour alfresco dining sounds divine also. Sigh....wish my husband could cook things like that! ;o) x
mashed cauliflower- just like mashed potatoes. mmmm. we've had tonsillitis in the home too- poor 13 week old Indigo! She cops whatever her brother has. xo m.
