Hello and welcome to my weekly roundup of posts you may have missed during the week…September is here...we are halfway through the month…the start of high season and sunshine for some although we are still getting some ferocious tropical downpours and the start of shorter nights and colder days for others…

September is the ninth month of the year it is also Classical Music month and personally, I love classical music …lots of food months in September like potatoes, rice, mushrooms, Italian Cheese, honey, chicken, and whole grains all foods I like…September, in Old England, was called Haervest-monath (Harvest Month). This is the time to gather up the rest of the harvest and prepare for the winter month for those of you who are in the Southern Hemisphere…

All the news around the world I’m guessing has been about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II… Queen Elizabeth II who sadly left this world after 70 years of service and dedication to the Crown and the British people…a sad week for so many around the world both personally and countrywide…I will comment though that whether or not you agree with a monarchy some seem to forget the Queen was also a mother and grandmother and no one can deny that she was also dedicated to serving the Crown and throughout her life, she did so with grace, humility, dignity and a sense of fun…

Let’s have look at last week’s posts…starting with…Monday Musings...

How uncanny was that to see a rainbow that is a natural happening when rain and sunshine are in tandem but for a double rainbow to appear at the time when we were notified of the Queen’s passing was beautiful…rainbows signify hope and my hope is that the Queen is now reunited with her beloved Phillip and going forward the hope that King Charles will be a good king …I think he will as he had an excellent role model in his mother…xx

The End of an Era! and a Rainbow…

Tuesday was time for another veggie recipe and who doesn’t like crumpets…this recipe is a version of eggy bread with crumpets, spinach, feta cheese, thyme and mushrooms it was delicious and something that my family requested I make again and there was no bacon in sight…I had no complaints and no whinges about having no bacon…win, win…

Friday’s Product Review…Aromatic Leaves…Part 4.

Aromatic leaves are much used in my kitchen both to add flavour to recipes or as in the case of some of the larger leaves to cook fish or sticky rice…Many leaves that are native to other countries are now finding their way around the world as either dried or frozen I think that is great as we can widen our cooking repertoire and experience other flavours…some of which we may not like and others which may become a staple in our spice collection…
