In the Kitchen this Week

Half a dozen cucumbers and a radish that were beginning to look a little sad, have become two jars of fridge pickles. 

The same number of really ripe bananas were made into a cake using this delicious recipe.

And an excess litre of milk, is now this week’s yoghurt.

(Yes, wasting food does cause me more than a little angst. I guess that's what happens when you have a Mother who was raised during the Second World War by a Mother who experienced the depression). 

Making good things to eat though, isn't the only reason for spending time in the kitchen. The windows in here overlook the backyard, which means I can keep an eye on Indi and Bertie. They have become very interested in all the comings and goings to do with the callistemon, so spend their days camped under the trees. 

Looking up and ever hopeful...
