In My Kitchen - September 2024

It's September and the first day of Spring!  And it's Father's Day (shouldn't that be Fathers' Day?).  August has been incredibly warm, and I think a long, hot summer is on the horizon.  It is also our local Historical Society's monthly meeting, so we may not have a big crowd as all the dads and granddads and their families will be otherwise engaged.  

Mr P. is still the President, and I am now the Vice President, rather than the Archivist this year.  A change is often a good thing :=)  The Society takes up a fair bit of our time, more than we expected really, but it has been fun meeting new people and learning new things.

a sneaky extra curveball!  Our annual group shot of the Society members

In My Kitchen:

I bought my annual bottle of EVOO from Ashbolt in Tasmania

I made chocolate cake for the 2nd birthday of our local bookshop: The Quick Brown Fox

and I bought some Arctic sea salt  (as gifts mostly!)

Yep, another tumbler - by Milly Dent this time

a couple of Baconfest tea towels I bought in Kingaroy

Mr P. and our friend Ms. M (and moi, of course!) had a weekend away recently, staying overnight in the small, country town of Kingaroy (peanut-growing capital of Queensland).  Baconfest was on the following weekend, so there were pink pigs everywhere!  On signs, on shop windows, on the streets, on tea towels, on earrings ...

I bought a few local goodies ...

I can't resist enamelware, and that scoop - so gorgeous, and such a wonderful tool!

That scoop is so marvellous!  It has the perfect heft in your hand, and the bowl is so wonderfully shaped and so smooth, that it just cuts through the ingredients you're scooping up!

peanuts from the peanut capital, of course!

cute plates from Donna Sharam

and a few more spices from Herbie's

fresh bay leaves ready for the freezer

thyme leaves dried in the microwave

and the curveball: self-portrait by Mackenzie Cox

I bought this online from the Incognito Art Show, where you don't find out the artist's name till you receive the artwork.  I love this one!
