Happy Spring Dear Readers!
I'm sitting here at my kitchen bench, staring at some beautiful blossom trees in the lane way, sipping a cup of Wakame Miso Soup and tearing into a Walnut, apple, cheese and rosemary quick bread that I've just pulled out of the oven. It's hot, and I burnt my tongue, but oh so worth it to capture that moment when the cheese is still stringy, the apples still steamy, and the butter drips off my fingers narrowly missing the computer keypad
That's what's going on In My Kitchen at the moment, to catch up with some other bloggers, peek into their kitchens and see what they're up to at the moment, check out Celia's blog Here and follow the links....
In My Kitchen...
is my Mothers Day present from littlej. After a round-about journey, going to the wrong address and crossing the ocean a couple of times, it has finally made it's way home...only 4 months late :) There's lots of fun techniques inside and I'm glad to say that it was well worth the wait
In My Kitchen...
is a gorgeous Gold Cutlery Set. It's a bit hard to show how gold coloured it really is, but the spoon laid across the others is plain stainless just for reference. I foresee this gracing my Festive Christmas Table, and other special celebrations that just need a bit of extra bling
In My Kitchen...
Is a very nice, very fresh Primo Sale- a very, very young Mozzarella cheese. It's lovely and smooth with just a bit of acidity and it tastes wonderful with slices of truss tomato and drizzled with EVOO
In My Kitchen...
from the same local producer in Hume, is real honest-to-goodness fresh Cheddar Curd for Canadian Poutine! It squeaks beautifully when bitten into, and it tastes amazing indeed! I have assembled the fries, gravy and curds, now all that is left is to enjoy the gooey goodness...mmmmm.....
In My Kitchen...
is a big bag of Smoked Bacon Bones. I want to replicate my favourite BBQ rib sauce that usually involves braising the rubbed ribs, then reducing the liquid for ages before ending up with just a little sweet, sticky, smoky yumminess. I figured to capture the 'real' flavour I'd give these bones a try for a bargain way of creating much larger quantities
In My Kitchen...
is some very yummy Marinated Goat Fetta. The lime flavour adds a lovely bit of bite, and I've been enjoying this on toast for lunch
In My Kitchen...
from the same supplier, I scored a big wedge of Goat Milk Cheesecake. Very nice indeed! A tad crumbly, but still nice and rich with just a hint of earthy tang from the goat cheese
In My Kitchen...
are these wonderful Purple Potatoes, aren't they pretty!
Lovely and fresh, healthy and organic- half of them were turned into potato salad to show off their purpliness, the other half went straight into a garden bed to supply me with future crops of my own
In My Kitchen...
is a very weird pot of very bright green water. This is the water that I steamed the potatoes over- they didn't even touch it. But as we all survived our dinner, I assume there is a very logical food science answer and tipped it down the sink
In My Kitchen...
is this cute little Tiffin Box. Not quite as tall as my hand, it still holds enough for my lunch and is a great alternative to plastic containers
In My Kitchen...
is a pretty Mini Cake Stand. At just a few dollars I couldn't resist it, but now I have to find somewhere to put it
In My Kitchen...
A Silver Platter on very ornate claw feet. I picked up this lovely at Trash and Treasure for just $20. I checked up on all the maker's marks and stamps and it's actually quite old, but sadly not worth a fortune as it's just plated. I'm glad I could give it a new home where it will be loved and used on the table once again instead of languishing in the back of a cupboard somewhere lonely
So Dear Readers, what's going on in Your Kitchen this month, and do you know what made the potato water turn bright green?
