Meatless Monday’s…

Where I did commit a faux pas…the salad had prawns in it although I will say it would be just as lovely without…my bad…However, it proves someone read the post as young Jim kindly let me know the error of my ways…Ooops…Thanx Jim…x

Wednesday…The Culinary Alphabet in reverse…The Letters V & W…

This series is drawing to a close now only two more posts…But…it is not the end there will be another one coming which I do hope you enjoy…

I couldn’t find many for the letter V but, Pete came up with a cracker…Mazeltov (there’s my v, haha) for finding any food words ending in v. I was about to give up, and then I found one. (Of course, I had to look it up.) The word is “sev” which means “an Indian food of deep-fried strands of flour.”…Well Done, Pete! x

Thursday was time for another Homemade Protein shake this time Banana and Papaya…

Bananas...my Thai family came to a visit loaded up with lots of tomatoes, bananas and salad so I think tomato chutney will be next on the agenda…they also brought me a nice big bundle of snake beans which I love and cauliflowers so again cauliflower will be on the menu…maybe some soup or roasted I haven’t decided yet it is so lovely, freshly picked and grown without pesticides…I am so lucky…

Fruity Friday’s…Jabuticaba Fruit…

Although I have seen fruit growing on the trunk of trees and indeed my own Jackfruit tree grows its fruit from the trunk this fruit looks amazing just like it has all been just placed there…I love discovering new fruits and vegetables and I love even more if I can come across them here, unfortunately, I haven’t come across this lovely fruit here yet but I know some of you lucky people have…
