Recipes, Whimsy, Music and Lifestyle Changes…
Welcome to this week’s edition of my weekly roundup of posts…Especially for you just in case you missed a few posts during this last week…we are now well into March…yesterday was the first day of spring if you are in the Northern Hemisphere… lambs, snowdrops, daffodils all signs that spring is here please keep those images coming and the snow I have seen some pictures so those who are experiencing minus temps snuggle up and stay safe and warm…and for those who are experiencing high winds and lashing rain batten down the hatches and stay safe and warm…
Let’s go and see what goodies I had for you last week… snuggle up in your favourite corner with your favourite drink tea/coffee or hot chocolate although depending on where in the world you live it could be a glass of wine…Cheers!
Meatless Mondays:
I have always sworn that I would never ever become a vegetarian/vegan…the scales are tipping as I increasingly see practises that I cannot ignore unless I know exactly how my meat/fish is reared and caught I will not be eating it..fortunately I am in a slightly better position than many to be able to do that but that is the drum I will be banging…
Peppers are a beautiful vibrant addition to a meal and make some Meatless Monday wonderful Pepper sauces…Enjoy!
Tuesday in My Kitchen: Traditional Hot Cross Buns…
There is nothing better than the smell of homemade currant buns made extra special at Easter with the spices and the cross…
For those of you who asked I made my Simnel cake yesterday and my marzipan today I will be icing it…Traditional Hot Cross Buns…
Wednesday: It’s still the Culinary Alphabet but with a little twist…
This week it was the letter B…inc. Rutabagas, Barmbrack, Blueberry and Sambuca…
This new series is certainly stretching my grey matter…next week it is Climate change I hope you are enjoying the two new series…The Culinary Alphabet …..Series 3… the letter B…

Carol Cooks2 …week 6 in my kitchen…
Who doesn’t love an Indian Curry with mango chutney?
There is nothing like a nice, spicy curry with delicious homemade chutney…
Fruity Friday:…Just the name strikes fear in many people…
I was wary as I know there are poisonous snakes here however as being once the keeper of snakes…kids love snakes…and my son as a kid was one of those who had to have one…I was inducted rather quickly into the merits of snakes…I now have some knowledge and am respectful of them…but yes the picture is creepy although the gourd is tasty…Fruity Friday’s…Snake Gourd (Buap Nguu)

Reblogged this on Smorgasbord Blog Magazine and commented:
A packed week from Carol Taylor with and interesting mix of food, recipes, culinary terms, conservation and music.. If you eat a lot of fish there is a documentary in Saturday Snippets that Carol feels we should all watch and perhaps you might like to eat a snake gourd… #recommended.
