You know I have to say it - eek! how did it get this far into the year? Eight weeks till Christmas?! And what a mixed bag this year has been. And storm season has started early! We had a whizz-bang ripper storm the other night, with huge winds and rain and a wee bit of hail. Could be the start of something ...
October was a busy one - I made 3 sorts of muffins for our local indie bookstore The Quick Brown Fox for Love Your Bookshop Day. I picked jaboticabas and made jam, and I made basil paste and mustard, and cake (my fave German chocolate cake). We went away for a weekend, to one of our happy places - the Granite Belt, home to many vineyards, and fruit farms, and arty people.
Here's to a splendid November; feel free to join in, everyone. We're waiting to 'read all about it' !:=) - as they used to say in the movies. Was that in the old Superman/Clark Kent days with George Reeves? I sometimes think of the other fella - Christopher Reeve, and how his whole life would have been so different if he had hit his spine just one centimetre to the left or right ... There but for the grace of God, as they say! Anyways, here we go!
In My Kitchen:
 |
| there were pineapple mini muffins for Love Your Bookshop Day |
 |
| and corn muffins |
 |
| and another cookbook |
 |
| and a (free) Santoku knife from the supermarket |
 |
| I made mustard - again! Mr P.'s fave. |
 |
| and some basil paste (not pesto) - just basil, salt and EVoo |
 |
| I bought a few goodies on our recent weekend away in Stanthorpe |
 |
| and a few more things |
 |
| Yep, another one! But Nagi is worth the shelfroom! |
So, here we are, racing to the end of the year. I hope everything is going well for everybody! See you in December, my friends. Well, or before that, if you read my other posts :=)
Oops, nearly forgot the curveball!
