The girls have been laying well. Love having ‘home grown eggs’ to use especially for the classes. A friend in Canberra - Sarah, would provide us with eggs from her girls and she taught me the great idea of writing the laid date on the shell.
Clever girls dating their eggs!!!!
Of course this always creates comments from others – “how do we get them to lay with a date on them???” Derrrr……Humour is subjective – isn't it? :-)
Tezza with Delphinium visiting me at the back door!
While Andrew and Andrew were visiting for a few days over the weekend, I was able to use some of the eggs and visit an old favourite recipe of scrambled eggs, made the way I learnt by watching “the two fat ladies”. Recently endorsed by watching the Heston Blumenthal method of scrambled eggs. It is simple – put the lightly whisked eggs in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water or top layer of a double saucepan. Lots of cream, butter and seasoning as desired. Let the eggs “scramble slowly”. Takes a bit longer to do it this way but the delicious result is so worth it.
Andrew and I spent some precious time together in the garden and planned the re-design of a couple of garden beds. Sadly, some very nice looking flowers (alstroemeria and cobra head lilies) have mutated into noxious weeds by overtaking a couple of beds and the only way to control was to do a drastic clearing. The upshot of this is that I can have a re-design. Of course, there will be new roses and I think the opportunity to install some sculpture and creativity. I love obelisks – so that is a very satisfying compensation to having a “clean out”.
We also spent some time planning holidays while we were mooching around in the garden……..dinner in Budapest next July? Yep, sounds like a plan!
Spring is just around the corner and lots of new recipes happening, so - Happy Flowers and Happy Tastings!!!
