Thanks to the little sis for making me aware of this…
Mr Rigg is away in Edinburgh this weekend on a stag do…last I heard was “still up” via text sent at 3am this morning…
Buddy and I are having a much quieter weekend at home. So far we have trimmed bushes in our tiny front garden, massacred the raspberry canes at the end of the garden, picked a small bowl of loganberries, followed a rumour that a farm nearby sells homegrown flowers at the gate (they do, just none today), and planted winter hardy leeks at the allotment.
Sadly I forgot my camera today when we went to the allotment, but thankfully I have some photos from my last visit looking very much the same.
Everything growing on the allotment seems to have doubled in size since I was last there. The courgette and squash plants are trailing and spreading everywhere…
The sunflowers are starting to flower and have lots more buds just waiting to pop open…
There is masses of camomile and my pink Cosmos are thick with flowers…
The onions have been dug up and left out to dry – which has been difficult considering the rain we’ve had…
Lots of ladybirds everywhere – I love them so much…
And this cheeky rabbit who clearly thought he hadn’t been spotted…
I came home with a basket laden with onions, one giant green courgette, a single burnt orange sunflower, and handfuls of Cosmos and camomile to brighten up the living room…
I think it’s about time I started to share links to some of the lovely recipes and food blogs that I come across on my internet travels. I have two ‘favourites’ folders dedicated to food – one for food blogs, and another for particular recipes I like.
I have been on the hunt today for a recipe for strawberry jam, specifically (if it exists) for a Swedish recipe. I am after a Swedish strawberry jam recipe because I’m not particular fond of the strawberry jam that we have in this country.
However, when we were in Sweden we stayed at a strawberry farm and I fell in love with their jam. It was runnier, and just much more enjoyable in my opinion. I might even try the strawberry jam from the farm’s website, just played around with a bit.
Anyway…getting back to sharing links. I shall put something together on the blog I discovered today and the dish that inspired me to share it, and then try to do so regularly.
