In My Kitchen - October 2024

Ho ho ho!  Do I hear those sleigh bells ringing already?  We were at the local Post Office the other day, and there were several (toy) Santas hanging from the walls plus fairy lights!  Noooooo ...  Nah, not gonna do it this year.  My name will be Scrooge :=)

What a month!  It has been hot and cold and busy, and our Jaboticaba tree went nuts.  I am going to sneak in a photo for you.  It is hard to do anything with the fruit as it often falls off within a couple of days.  Our mango tree is also flowering madly at the moment.  It is an old tree so we don't get much (if any) fruit from it.

the multitudinous fruits grow straight from the trunk and branches!

And they go from green to black in a couple of days.  There are thousands of them on the tree as I write.  I have tried to make jam in the past but the pectin in the skin is so strong, it has generally turned to concrete - hehehehe ...

In My Kitchen:

I bought a cute little plate at Logan Art Gallery - 
after checking out the Brett Whiteley exhibition

I made another batch of pickled cukes

I bought some Marimekko paper napkins

I grabbed a few goodies from our local providore Mumbleberry

and I bought these online

oh yep! another cookbook

our Iranian friends brought this back from Iran for me

I bought two lovely tablecloths from a hippie shop in Northern Rivers!

I made tomato ketchup for Mr P. (and Cookbook Club)

and I bought some herbs and spices :=)

and I added some zingy yuzu salt to my collection of salts

and here comes the curveball! Gelato Bob by our mate Chainsaw Newton!
