In My Kitchen - August 2026

August?  Are you there, August?  Of course you are.  And how did that happen, my friends?  July has been a bit of a killer healthwise for us.  Lots of people have been saying that this year has been a bit of a trial for them too, so here's hoping it picks itself up soon!  I am so over it! 

And as for Mr P. - he is currently a bit of a test bunny in medical research with our old alma mater the University of Queensland.  He is an anomaly, suffering from a lifelong neurological disease plus prostate cancer.  He never does things by halves, that's for sure!  And never gives in to despair or self-pity, and is a mentor to others in his field (building design).  An incredible fella is Mr P.!

a cheeky curveball! Me in front of my artwork at the Incognito Art show!

No, I can't tell you which one is mine, as they are incognito till someone buys them.  But regular readers will probably be able to guess!  We went to the Art Show to check out all the incredible artworks; it was so lovely to see mine up there, too.

In My Kitchen:

gorgeous green birthday gift from the cuz

we love a bit of relish in this house :=)

the cutest metal (Japanese) spoon and Japanese sesame seed oil

I made citrus cordial with limes and lemons

and I bought a plethora of goodies from the Japanese store (again)

including this wonderful watermelon sorbet in a cute ball!

yep another cookbook; I do enjoy Ella's writing and recipes

a dear friend brought back these lovelies from her recent trip to the U.K.

we visited the local Italian deli

our Tassie friend gave me this for my birthday

my niece sent me the spoon and the Japanese (bamboo) dishcloth

I made a Brussels sprouts and pumpkin frittata!
