Food NZ: Fruit Bowl delight

The fruit bowl is looking fabtastic at present:
feijoas, limes, quinces, bananas, persimmons.. what a lot of stuff to experiment with!

Today's thoughts

I love Christmas food. And I love summer food even more... had a kilo of fresh boysenberries last week, only beaten by the fresh raspberries and blueberries for breakfast yesterday.

Yesterday's Thoughts:

Failures only exist if you don't do your best (Kevin Barry, Boxer)

I can't be trusted with a bag of fruit jubes... and I can prove it

A person who is nice to you but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person

Thought for the day after a dull dinner party "I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it." - Groucho Marx (Thanks Annie)

I love how young people are cooking so elaborately. Wish I'd had the confidence I see in some of these 18-year olds.

When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste. ~Laiko Bahrs

From Robert Carrier: "Until we have learned to explore, our tastes are so limited, our experience is so narrow, that we can make no valid comparisons, can found no true judgements. So it is with food. We must learn to eat first."

Ann's contribution to world philosophy: You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk

I'm very fortunate to have a bunch of people around me who inspire and challenge me. Let's celebrate success...... Make mine a bubbly!

Give more than you take. Have faith that you''ll get back what you put in - when you need it.

Eat what you like but only when hungry and only until full, as long as it's not always the same thing... and if you only like fast food you have a problem!

We can do the normal and expected or the quirky and irreverent. More of the latter please....

Recipes are all just suggestions! (And I wish red traffic lights were the same...)
