In My Kitchen - March 2025

Okay friends, this is a quickie as we are in Melbourne for my aunt's 90th.  We have not been down south since Covid began, so it has been marvellous to catch up with friends and family.  I really, really hate flying (and we usually drive everywhere when possible), so this has been a bit scary for me.  But I managed :=)

I hope your year is going well.  It seems to be flying past, doesn't it?  We've had an interesting time lately - the mains water pipe for the street is at the front of our house ... And it has been leaking a lot!  So we called the water people to come fix it, which they did eventually - 2 trucks and 5 people, most of whom stood around 'supervising'.  The next day it started leaking again, and after another 3 weeks, they finally turned up to fix it - again.  Fingers crossed, it's currently dry out there.  But I did notice that the hydrant across the road was leaking badly, so we called them again.  I think it has been fixed!  

In the meantime: In my kitchen:

In My Kitchen:

I bought some more Japanese goodies (online)

and I bought this cookbook (the tea towels came with it, gratis)

and I bought some vanilla pods - so cheap!!  Only $2.45 per pod!

and I made toasted muesli  (a Donna Hay recipe, from the new cookbook)

and brewed up some apple butter  (took hours!, but delish!)

received some goodies in a gifted Christmas hamper

more Christmas gifts (thanks cuz)

the curveball - a Brancusi-esque sculpture from a friend (ignore the little house in the middle)

That's it for this month.  Looking forward to your posts, my friends!
