In My Kitchen - October 2025

Phew!  September was a busy month.  And I have a feeling that October will roar on by too.  My talk to the Historical Society went well (I think), and you can view it on YouTube, my friends!  (Just email me, and I can send you the link.)

Mr P. will be going in for treatment in October, so neither of us are looking forward to that.  But here's hoping it's all for the best.  He is a very positive person, and I think that helps.  He has been disabled since his young manhood, so it seems bloody unfair to add this!

the cuz painting the (back) eastern wall!

Not in my kitchen, but underneath :=)  The cuz came up from Melbourne, expressly to help us paint the back wall.  So very kind of her.  And it looks so good!  Thanks cuz!  (That's a mango tree on the left, an olive tree on the right, and a persimmon, and a jaboticaba tree on the left-hand side of the house.  And of course, the old Hills Hoist on the left.  Who needs a clothes dryer when you have the sun?)

In My Kitchen:

a new electric jug

Mr P. cannot lift a jug of water, so we have this one on a gimbal.  It means he can just push the handle forward, and the water falls into his mug.  A brilliant invention!

had to buy some more of this!

and this!

the Asian store was calling my name ... again ...

a (very) belated birthday gift from a lovely friend

and I bought this!  I adore Emma Bridgewater pottery

I made wholegrain mustard for Mr P.'s sandwiches

a wonderful friend brought this back from Singapore for me!

Guess who?  Yep, it's Tintin!  There is a big Tintin shop in Singapore (literally called The Tintin Shop!), so our dear friend Madame M. got this beauty for me when she was there recently.

I made toasted muesli

I ordered some goodies from Tasmania

and I made rice pudding - with rose and cream, and brown sugar

and the curveball!

I bought this wonderful crabby palette from Jacklyn Foster Art.  I love her foodie art pieces.  And I bought a new iphone cover with her crab on it, too!  Yep, the crab is my star sign.

and a very sneaky extra curveball - the phone cover
