At last a bit of order is in place with the school kitchen as an extra working area. I hope it keeps that way for a while.<br />debvdebby emadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222092755385566586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-7713051894583563332014-09-22T05:26:23.203-07:002014-09-22T05:26:23.203-07:00yay! yummy food is back :) I've missed it!

A lovely neighbour brought a bucket of damsons from her garden for us and when we mentioned that we wanted to make wine came back the next morning with the recipe books. It was very sweet of her.<br />debx debby emadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222092755385566586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-72610870585351841912014-09-22T01:22:00.970-07:002014-09-22T01:22:00.970-07:00Thank you Regina.

You can read about here if you haven't heard of it before.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumac<br />and poached chicken and greek yoghurt. We like to eat it with berries or grapes for a sharp contrast to the plain food. <br /><br />Sometimes we just want something very plain. We seem to add fruit to everything, especially at this time of year. Interestingly lots of Persian savoury recipes include fruit in them. <br /><br />I hope you have a bountiful crop next year so that you can try out lots of recipes.<br />debx<br />debby emadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222092755385566586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-39783332515984100082014-09-22T01:18:21.479-07:002014-09-22T01:18:21.479-07:00Hi Emily.
