<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div>We are a long way, away from home. We flew right across Iceland. I peeped through the windows and I could see Reykjavik and ice and snow below, the sun shining all the time. We followed it for thirteen whole hours of daylight and then the landscape gave way to desert and dust, backyards with turquoise pools and aeroplanes that looked like tiny white crosses. We landed in Los Angeles, then we got on the smallest plane to Sacramento, where we are staying in a garden apartment on the ground floor of a large house with a tropical garden. It's just a stone's throw from my baby and her partner. I love to hear the tinkle of her bicycle bell as she cycles over to see us and wish that she could do the same when we are back home in England. </div></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We time travelled...it was still the same day when we arrived...we had gone back eight whole hours. It seems appropriate that Portal Park is nearby. It feels like we've stepped through one.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a different world. A fun, sunshiny one. It's hot and the sky is blue and there are palm trees and fruit trees with large round ripe oranges, lemons and limes, dates and sweet pluots and pomegranates, that line the streets, and edge the gardens in the neighbourhood. There are big beautiful clapboard houses and some that look like they are in an English Tudor village and others that could be in Mexico. It reminds me of Disney Land. I wear my new, 1960's style glasses and look very serious, feel as though I should be wearing 60's style clothes too, or maybe 70's or 80's. But they must be colourful... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The sounds are different, the fire engines wail like someone in pain, the trains make a deep honking sound. It's a safe homely honk... a comforting melodic chord. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I ate my first pumpkin pie in a turn of the century soda fountain in Sonora and fell in love with The Tower cafe on Broadway, Sacramento. It's next to The Tower Theater, a 1930's art deco wedding cake of a building. The cafe and garden, similarly aged, the interior a theatrical paradise of tiles and plants and trees, a colourful cacophony of old paintings and prints, basket chairs, and Oriental Paper Parasols. Reincarnated on Earth Day, 1990. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We sip Moroccan Mint Tea from the Classy Hippie Tea co and eat brunch at The Tower or the Hitching Post in Ahwahnee, meet for early morning coffee at a roastery or at each other's apartments mostly just enjoying the time that we spend together before we fly off home again... dx </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Originally published Saturday October 5th 2019</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i>'...rough winds do shake the darling buds of May...' </i>sonnet 18, William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Spring had only just begun but it felt like summer. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The days were long and hot and sunny, and I didn't want to waste a second. I rose early to make the most of it. After the long cold winter's hibernation, it was catch up time!</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I sowed seeds, and I planted and watered, painted outside doors and windows, and garden furniture that had been washed by the snow. Sorted out the loft, the shoe cupboard and my wardrobe. Recycled, renewed, repaired, and baked a million fruit crumbles and streusel tarts.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Before the sun was up I worked on my little shop, that had also mostly hibernated, and then did the same on the long light evenings. It was good to feel an order and rhythm return to this little life we've made for ourselves. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then April showers came and we went to London and when poor Ahmad was in meetings, I explored the Serpentine in the rain, and the green lungs, and saw bright green parakeets, horses and heron. Discovered little lanes with quaint mews houses and the Liberty store, with it's ancient oak beams taken from an old ship. I met friends, and one of my sisters, and drank gunpowder tea from the teeniest Japanese teapot. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">But best of all we crossed that bridge again, and visited our </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">little acorn in Bristol. She pampered us. Baked us pie and made crumble, and delicious breakfasts; and there were goodies and parcels waiting for us in the spare bedroom. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And the most precious gift for me. All wrapped in tissue-y paper and tied with thin twine. It was a book that I had picked up so many times in <a href="http://www.boothbooks.co.uk/">my favourite bookshop</a>. Each time I had put it back because I already have a version. A newer one. The same words, different skin. Every time I visited that bookstore, I would search for it. The little skinny one in-between the stout tomes. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I would take it out and pour over the hand-cut pages with their serrated edges. Feel the smooth marbled, paper backing and carefully open the delicate leaves and read the inked hand written inscription from 1936. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I would turn a page to the printers title: <i>'House - Warming and Winter Visitors, from Walden, or Life in the Woods by Henry David Thoreau, privately printed </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>MCMXXXVI,</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i> </i>' </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">and then the next page: <i>'These essays from Walden have been privately printed by the Haddon Craftsmen for their friends at Christmas,</i>' with subtle green print of pine cones on a branch. On the following page, the little house in the woods and the text began. Walden's beautiful poetic words. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I would find an old comfy armchair in the store and settle in, whilst everyone else was on their search for books ...I would sit and drool over the pages, sometimes uttering a quiet exclamation at it's beauty. I'd look up and someone would catch my eye and and chuckle. They had been their too. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I would put it back. Almost in the right place, but not quite. Maybe a few letters along. So that it would still be there the next time I came. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The last time that I looked for it, it had gone. I was surprised that it hadn't gone earlier and was a little sad but reasoned someone else loved it, just as much as I did.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">...Little did I know who that person was... and now that lovely old book has a new inscription below the older one, cursive script blue/black ink, this time to me from my little acorn and her larger oak... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">'<i>...I went a-graping to the river meadows, and loaded myself with clusters more precious for their beauty and fragrance than for food. There too I admired, though I did not gather, cranberries, small waxen gems, pendants of the meadow grass, pearly and red..</i>.'Henry David Thoreau,from his essays, 1854.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Looking back January was a bit of a blur of feeling ill, and </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">mindless tv viewing of a million box sets. Wishing that instead of snoozing on the sofa and drinking juice and ginger tea, that I was in the garden digging and planting. Of knitting a randomly striped sweater inspired by the little urchin in the film about Hugo Cabret. In-between a spot of driving over more than one bridge to visit some of my favourite people. Of making the scrummiest basil and tomato soup, thanks to my very own baby's recipe.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now it's February and we've had snow and rain and sun and showers. Sometimes all in one day. The hellebores are blooming and the snow drops are out. We've had Pancake and then Valentines day, and even Chinese New Year but didn't manage to celebrate any of them. Soon another month will have flown by and we'll be spring cleaning for Persian New Year...</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But I have decided to slow down a bit this month. The second half. To be kind to myself and keep telling that little voice in my head that things don't matter and I can take a few short-cuts. Sort out my seeds and send for those nice seed catalogues that I'm always too late to send for. To sometimes just stop working and make sure that I don't miss the next little buds as they peep out. To go and say hello to the sheep down the lane...</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">...or just sometimes sit down by the fire and read a book...and not feel even the teeniest bit guilty...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Summer is multicoloured, until that day it edges the corner and turns. A moment in September when you are in the garden happily listening to the bees buzzing and the chugging engine of a light aircraft pulling a glider across the blue sky and suddenly you notice it. That whiff of autumn and you know that soon it will be October and full-on halloween pumpkin colour. It's inevitable. </span><br />

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I often make more topping for a more substantial pudding. Sometimes I'll add a little ground almonds, desiccated coconut or flour to the crumble. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">One medium sized onion red or white will do, or a couple of large shallots</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Two cups of orange lentils</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped and a little tomato paste, or passata</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Sea salt </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A couple of cloves of garlic</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Olive oil or alternative </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Peel and slice the onion finely. Pour a little oil into a heavy base pan, heat and then sautee the onion until caramelised</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">If using garlic, mince and add to the onions, stir well and cook briefly</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Season with sea salt and mix well</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Wash the lentils and add to the onions. Stir well and cook for a brief few seconds. Then add the tomatoes and puree or passata. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Add a couple of glasses of cold water. Stir well, bring to the boil and then reduce the heat and allow to cook until the lentils are tender. Check every so often to ensure that it hasn't reduced too much and add hot water or vegetable stock if necessary.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Check seasoning and adjust if necessary.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The soup is then ready. If you like a smooth textured soup blend with a hand blender. We like this soup with the rustic texture of the cooked lentils.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It always feels like I'm cheating when I make this as it is so simple. It's a big favourite though, and depending on the season I make it for lunch, once or twice a week. Using passata cuts down on the work of chopping and peeling tomatoes and the orange lentils cook much quicker than some other varieties, so this takes little work but just needs to cook on the hob for forty-five minutes or so. Great, if like me, you work at home. It's inexpensive to make, substantial and very more-isa. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Loobya chitti</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">These are pinto beans, slow baked with water, salt and a big spoonful of tamarind paste for a hit of sour umami. Alternative beans are rose-cocoa. Served with a good squeeze of fresh lemon or lime and a glug of good olive oil. Yummy... cheap and cheerful... Again very little work but you just need to be somewhere in the house and remember to check them every so often. A good heavy based pan, like cast iron is the best tool for this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Pomegranate and Red Pepper hummus</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Basically I just use my regular hummus recipe with cooked chic peas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic a little water, roasted peppers, seasoning and spices to taste and blitz in a mini blender but then add a good drizzle of pomegranate molasses, another source of deep umami flavour. Yummy...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A day home alone...Ahmad poor thing, was away again. This time Birmingham. (England, not Alabama.) He left Friday night, bag weighed down with books and rolled up flip chart pages, scribed with foreign looking mathematical symbols that could have been hieroglyphics. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My Saturday all planned out. New-to-me vintage 1980's sewing machine ready for it's trial run. Pattern book: <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_532609558"></span>'Lotta Jansdotters Everyday Style'</a>, tracing paper, tailors chalk, pins, and scissors. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A length of vintage navy woollen fabric with subtle, almost invisible pinstripes reminiscent of granddad's three piece suit. The end of a roll stamped with golden letters, woven in Scotland, probably fifty years ago. Still with the little brown card label and cursive script. Just enough to make the Esme tunic...but without the sleeves... That would work...A cool masculine pinafore dress. Workware.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I picked up the fabric and saw that it was peppered with holes...As big as speckles of coarse sea salt when the light shone through. Maybe chewed by ancient moths or accidentally pierced by the wayward slip of a hand. It didn't matter. All part of the wrinkles of a long life. The sheep that was shorn, the flee</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">ce that was combed, the wool, washed and spun. Yarn dyed, then woven. Wrapped onto rolls and cut into lengths. The old gnarled or fresh young hands that had each taken part in the narrative. Pondered how long that piece had been waiting until I found it...and so, it's life begins again...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">a medium sized cauliflower</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">tomato passata or fresh skinned tomatoes, chopped finely</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">a little tomato puree</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">can of organic coconut milk</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">a medium sized white onion or three or four shallots</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">sea salt and black pepper and garlic cloves</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">coconut oil or alternative to cook</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">spice mix, garam masala or your own choice, I like ground turmeric, coriander seed and cumin, with chilli flakes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">a little hot stock or water</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">fresh coriander or other herbs to serve </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Method:</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">peel and slice the onion. Place a little coconut oil into a heavy bottomed pan and heat up. Place the onion into the pan and begin to sauté</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">meanwhile wash the cauliflower and divide into florets and chop the tomatoes finely, if using. The smaller you cut the florets the quicker this will cook</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">cook the onion until it is almost caramelised, add the garlic cloves and cook. Add the spices, stir well and cook for a minutes or so</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">add the passata or fresh tomatoes and bring to a simmer then reduce the heat </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">season with salt and pepper and add the cauliflower floret. Cover and cook until tender, adding the coconut milk after about fifteen minutes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">cook until the cauliflower is tender adding stock or water if necessary. Ensuring that it doesn't dry out.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">add a little chopped fresh coriander or other herb</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This is lovely served with cooked brown basmati rice, (especially if cooked in half water, half coconut milk mix), or creamy whipped mashed potatoes/parsnips or butter beans...Yummy... </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Summer has just scuttled away from me like a naughty little rabbit and autumn is here, all pink and gold. We spent the equinox in London meeting Hannah and a friend, listening to lovely Icelandic Bjork lament in her gentle way, like some kind of delicate, transparent insect. As she left the stage, the audience stamped their feet and called for more. She came back to serenade us, then again to thank us all. An awesome way to put the season to bed on a balmy London evening. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As we left the city and headed for the countryside the thermometer on the dashboard crept down.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"> I have missed this place so much. I got locked out somehow and then couldn't get back however I tried. I couldn't write in the spring, or in the summer but I still took a million photographs and posted some on instagram and still have a trillion in my phone. Busy days took me away and then I came back today on the first day of Autumn determined that I would continue and hey presto no problem. Just like the old times I signed in and started writing. The gremlin that wouldn't let me in must be hibernating... It's like some kind of magical Solstice alchemy is working for me... I'm back with a myriad things to catch up... I'm off to London in an hour but just want to stay and write...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">I'll be back soon...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Saturday morning I woke extra early and crept downstairs. I lighted lamps, lit tealights and made tea. I could smell the Christmas tree's piney smell. I nibbled ginger hearts from an old french tin, got out the rolls of paper and wrapped gifts (including the Jack Daniels...No it wasn't a breakfast tipple). And I noticed for the first time the decoration of holly leaves and berries, cut out of the little tea light holder. I must have bought those six little candle holders in Denmark, ten or fifteen years ago, but Saturday morning was the first time I realised the pattern wasn't just a random cut-out. Isn't it weird how you suddenly notice something after all that time. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">...Must go help finish decorating before everyone comes for the holidays...We're camped out in Hannah's bedroom...our furniture on top of hers. Even our mattress is balanced on top of her bed. I feel a bit like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_and_the_Pea">The Princess and the Pea</a>...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But before I go I just wanted to thank you for all the lovely comments on my last post and let you know how much I value all your friendship. And to wish you a very happy Christmas, the best one yet. The new year too, and that you find everything that you're heart desires. That it's fun and you sing and dance and laugh to your hearts content...all year long...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Merry, Merry,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Love and mistletoe</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was a jolly pottering catching up weekend. More painting and sorting, a walk to gather leaves for a Christmas wreath to add to those gleaned from the garden. Making chicken stock ready for the Christmas dinner. It's now in a little plastic tub buried away in the freezer. I can't believe how organised I am! We made a flying visit to a Victorian Christmas Market and accepting an invitation for mulled wine and mince pies from our friendly neighbours. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We celebrated good news, just quietly. Mostly in our heads with the beaming smiles that we couldn't keep off our faces. I don't usually get too personal here, but it WAS good news. Notification of a clear mammogram result came through the letterbox Saturday lunchtime. Still clear since the one I had <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/oddfellows-and-ominous.html">three years ago.</a> Following the previous five years since the first shock discovery. I just wanted to share positive news. Almost eight years, and clear. To give hope to others out there, it's amazing what clever Doctors and modern medicine can do, as well as alternative therapies, and positivity, lots of good friends and family, and trying to eat healthily (well sometimes). Keep your chin up any one out there whose going through those tricky things. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now I breathe deeply and can't help saying to myself...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...and trying not to get annoyed about silly little unimportant things...Sometimes I need to remember LIFE IS GOOD...and not to take it for granted...to go and smell that honeysuckle blossom that amazingly is still blooming half way through December...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients to make half a pint/half a litre:</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Chicken. I prefer to make stock with uncooked chicken. I think it's more flavourful. I was making a chicken casserole and jointed it into four pieces but reserved the backbone still with a little meat attached to make the stock for a Christmas dinner caramelised onion gravy. There will only be four of us for dinner this year so a pint is plenty as I'll add some wine and other ingredients. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">One carrot chopped into chunky slices</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A small peeled potato also chopped. Don't add too much or it will cloud your stock.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A small red onion with the outter leaves removed, roughly chopped</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A stick of celery, deveined and chopped</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Sea salt and black pepper</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">One sliced clove of garlic</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Herbs, I used rosemary thyme and sage. I can't have Christmas dinner without sage and onion gravy like my granddad used to make. </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Simply place all the ingredients into a saucepan and cover with about a litre of water.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Season and bring to the boil. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover tightly with a lid to conserve as much as the cooking liquor as possible. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Cook for about half an our or so until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender and the liquid has reduced by about half. Check every so often to make sure it's not reduced too much. If so just top up with a little hot water.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Check the seasoning and adjust if necessary.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Cool a little and then remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon. These can be used for bubble and squeak or add to soups, casseroles etc.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">If not using straight away pour the stock into a clean container and allow to cool.I left it in the fridge overnight before freezing until it's required. </span></li>
</ol>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As we slip towards the winter solstice my craving for carbohydrates seems to increase daily. I long for risotto, brown rice, mashed root vegetables or pasta. The porringer got taken down off the shelf to use and I check out the winter breakfast section of Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights for pancake recipes. Maybe this year it's the comfort needed to cope with the madness going on everywhere, images of refugee babies in crowded rowing boats, shootings, terror attacks, threats of war and there's nothing I can do to help. I'm trying to eat away the misery, or maybe pad it out... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Curiously whilst I have this seasonal longing for typical cold weather food, simultaneously my head is in spring planting mode when it comes to the garden. We've only just decorated the Christmas tree even though we've had it since the 2nd. (An extreme reaction After <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/christmas-catch-up.html">last years eleventh hour dash</a> when it looked like we were too late to find one.) But it was the stolen hour (maybe two) sitting at the kitchen table, carefully spent collecting seeds from pods and seed cases that I'd stored in paper bags hanging up to dry; that proved to be the therapy. The calm that helped a little...</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I found a gem of a book for £1.99 in a charity shop. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6001219-the-bedside-book-of-the-garden">The Bedside book of the Garden</a> by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._G._Hessayon">Dr D G Hessayan</a> author of all those hundreds of 'The Expert' guides. It's beautiful and different. There isn't any expert advice in this one. He introduces us to the historical gardeners who've changed the landscape of gardens all over the world. Those I'd heard of like Lancelot Capability Brown and Gertrude Jekyll He tells their tale but also introduces us to those (I'd) never heard of. Paints pictures of interesting individuals and their plant collecting adventures...It's hard to put down...</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Baking has gone out of the window recently since the Christmas cake and the odd savoury pie. We're not big dessert eaters but it's nice to know that at a moments notice I can put together something sweet, when that's what someone's tooth craves and a piece of fruit won't do. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">As long as there's:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Something creamy</b>: yoghurt, ice cream or frozen bananas (whizzed up they make a kind of dairy-free banana ice cream)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Something fruity:</b> preferably berries</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Sauces:</b> maple syrup, homemade black current sauce, medjool dates stones removed and beaten with a little hot water they make a fudgy sauce, espresso, or the seeds of a ripe passion fruit maybe a little drizzle of liqueur...or sometimes one or two together</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Crunch</b>:is good too but not crucial. This can be supplied by nuts, flaked or otherwise,a crunchy biscuit or oats or other cereal. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients for two people: </b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">One cup of Brown rice</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">One ripe avocado</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Two small spring onions</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Eight radishes</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A piece of fresh ginger root, approximately an inch long</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Fresh flat leafed parsley</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Soy or Tamari sauce</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Apple cider vinegar, preferably raw with the mother</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Sesame seeds</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Method:</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Cook the brown rice as per the package. Basically with long grain brown rice you wash the rice, cover with boiling water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for about ten minutes until ready. Drain and then use as required. With short grain brown rice cook one cup of rice with one and a half of cold water. Cover and cook for ten minutes or so until all water has been absorbed.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Whilst the rice is cooking peel all of the vegetables and de-stalk and chop the parsley.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">When the rice is ready place into a serving bowl and add soya sauce and cider vinegar to taste. Add all the vegetables a mix roughly. Top with the parsley and a good sprinkle of sesame seeds. </span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This is just one version but the possibilities are endless. They are lovely with sautéed garlic greens of any kind and kimchi or Japanese pickled ginger any other vinegars sauces that you like. It's one to play around with.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can link to the leek and mushroom risotto recipe over <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/weekendall-creatures-great-and-small.html">here</a>. Ahmad who has never eaten risotto and I don't think ever will, made this for me one day when I was really busy. He just asked how to do it, I explained, and hey presto he did. It was the best one I've ever tasted... ( I know, how lucky am I...)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>"Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase, it the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things it will come and sit softly on your shoulder..."</i> Thoreau </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are just thirty five stitches for the needles to work, for the yarn to meander in and out and keep my itchy fingers busy when I'm in the passenger seat. I'm knitting another simple garter stitch scarf. This time in Icelandic Lopi yarn to match Ahmad's <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/debbyemadian/cobblestone-pullover">Cobblestone Pullover</a>. Perfect timing for Hannah's invitation to help with the move, basement to attic. From up on the hill, down to the creative Bohemian quarter. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When there wasn't enough room in the car for bookcases and me, I happily inhabited a big comfy armchair and borrowed a copy of <a href="http://thoreau.eserver.org/walden00.html">Walden</a> from the bookcase. What with Thoreau, knitting, ginger beer and Swedish ginger biscuits it felt like the butterfly was comfortably perched on my shoulder. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don't have a recipe for crunchy Danish ginger biscuits but this is an old family recipe for fairings which are traditional Cornish ginger biscuits. They are named after the edible treats that were traditionally sold at English fairs:-</span><br />

excuse any weird background noise just a radio playing somewhere...</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">December arrived with pink skies, rain, and twelve flood warnings in the county. It's comforting when you're tucked up in bed too late at night, listening to outdated radio shows, to hear the gentle drumming on the window panes and pull the quilt up tight and snuggle down even deeper. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Between drizzly showers I've squeezed in time to plant the hundred bulbs ready for their spring appearance. Getting distracted meanwhile by forgotten treasures. Uncovering missed unblemished potatoes, almost unwittingly chopped i</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">n two by my wayward spade; crumbs of broken china, a skeletal poppy seed head that's a copy of a miniature parasol frame. I can't resist playing with it. Exploring it's fragile architecture. I want to wash it, to remove the sticky soil but am scared that it'll dissolve...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Inside and out, the house is almost finished, by others who'll soon hand it back to us. It's our turn now. We still sort and paint and open more boxes, play and move furniture like giant chess pieces then check mate, move them back to where they came from. Up-cycling, recycling, a miniature revolutionary (evolutionary?) Tour de France.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm reading again. Easy reads, the country girls by Edna O'brian, favourite garden and cookery books and knitted a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/debbyemadian/mistake-rib-scarf">Mistake Rib Scarf</a> using a <a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/create/2014/11/17/mistake-rib-scarf-in-mulberry-merino/">free Pearl Soho pattern</a>. I love this subtle rib it has a raised knit stitch, alternated with two moss (seed) stitches. Basically you make a knit one, purl two rib but by just altering the first and last three stitches, magically the moss stitch section appears. This makes a lovely neat finish. I'll be making more for stocking fillers or winter birthdays. It </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">goes well with the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/debbyemadian/mittens-for-mum---erika-knight">Erica Knight Mittens for Mum pattern </a>(also free). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And at last for someone who doesn't like too many projects on the go at once, I can see the logic of separate, simple travel projects. I made a simple <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/debbyemadian/garter-stitch-scarf-to-go-with-my-golden-annabel">garter stitch scarf</a> to go with my much worn <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/debbyemadian/annabel-pullover-2">Annabel sweater</a>. Forty stitches on 4mm straight needles. Already it's a favourite. </span><br />

The best time to use this cream is when soaking in a nice warm bath, no risk of staining your best tea-shirt. It's nice to leave it on for a few minutes before carefully removing with cotton wool or a flannel. Not your best one..!</span></span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's deep and crisp and even... all crunchy and frosty underfoot. Friday night howling winds squealed down the chimney calling for someone to light a fire, dark skies and icy rain chased away the balmy autumn days. The kitchen smelt of pancakes, cinnamon, star anise, cooked apples and fresh laundry. Saturday the sun came out and in true incy wincy style the rain dried up and the skies lightened to a happy bright sparkly blue. Still cold, but smiley...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was the first weekend at home for a while and the perfect day to be indoors, except to rescue the onions before they bolted and dig up my baby carrots. They wouldn't feed a family, but the cute little orange and yellow specimens made a tasty pasta lunch. I've written the recipe at the end of the page. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pre food-shop, freezer and vegetable basket foraging, produced the ingredients to make a stir-fry supper. A great way to use up the stragglers before restocking. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first issue of my birthday gift subscription of <a href="http://www.thesimplethings.com/">The Simple Things</a> arrived. I've now learned how to make a hundred wishes bay leaf garland, to keep the Christmas tree pine needles to add to a bath, to make a fragrant salt body scrub, home made teabag gifts and a match box advent calender. But don't think there'll be time to save up enough matchboxes before the 1st. I'll have to try and find some cool vintage ones like in the article. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh and I was tempted to buy a copy of The Nordic Cookbook until I discovered that one of the recipes requires chopping down and pine tree to make pine bark bread and another needed boiled seal intestines! Eeek...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We did lots of sorting and painting eventually ventured out for food shopping and new twinkly lights, a bit of online Christmas shopping (love Etsy and homemade things) and there was even some time to catch up on TV viewing. The first two episodes of dark Scandinavian Drama </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.list.co.uk/article/76366-tv-review-the-bridge-season-3-bbc-four/">The Bridge</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> with the unsociable but likeable character Saga, and colourful episodes of Rachel Khoo's Kitchen notebook and Nigella Lawson's new program, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/programmes/b06nvzk6">Simply Nigella</a>. I know that she flirts with the camera and has every word memorised off-pat, that inspires a myriad of micky-takers, including Ahmad, who can't resist copying every sheepish fluttering eyelid sideways look that she makes. (I try to watch it when he's not around) But I will always stick up for her, life has given her a lot of hard knocks and yet she always picks herself up and keeps on smiling, not dwelling on the sad things but celebrating good ones. She's actually cooking healthy food with no cream or butter at last. Hence my latest batch of pancake making, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/oat_pancakes_with_14049">Nigella's Oat Pancakes.</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have to admit these are worthy and wholesome even for me, let alone Nigella. But when you feel the need to be very good they work with lots of fruit, maple syrup and plain yoghurt. I cooked windfall apples with vine fruits, honey and a little cinnamon, and star anise for that lovely childhood cough syrup hit. They would never replace <a href="http://kitchen-maid.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/memories-of-makiri.html">Great Aunt Makiris</a> pikelets, but they make an even healthier alternative. I think I'll probably try to make <a href="http://www.asplashofvanilla.com/2011/10/30/sophies-dahls-strawberry-ricotta-pancakes-and-fun-with-a-gif/">Sophie Dahl's spelt ricotta</a> ones on my next foray into pancake making.</span><br />

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Olive oil</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">An unwaxed lemon</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Three or four cloves of garlic</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A handful of pine kernels</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Parmesan cheese</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Pasta of choice, about 3oz to 4oz per person. I used dried spaghetti.</span></li>
</ul>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Cut the lemon in half and squeeze most of the juice into a jug. Keep the lemon after squeezing and cut into smallish chunks.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Remove the carrot tops and reserve for later.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Scrub the carrots well with a stiff brush. Top and tail unless they are really small and tender and cut into diagonal chunks and place into an oven proof dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper, add the chunks of lemon and roast in a moderate oven for about twenty to thirty minutes until tender and a little coloured.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Whilst they are roasting wash the carrot tops. Take of the top feathery bit and discard any thick stalks. Chop roughly and place into a blender.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Add some olive oil, a good grating of Parmesan cheese, a handful of pine nuts and the lemon juice and blend. Season with salt and pepper and adjust if necessary adding more ingredients. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Cook the pasta, drain and place on a serving dish</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Top with the roasted carrots and some of the pesto. Combine well and eat while still warm. </span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This was amazingly yummy. Not as aromatic or flavourful as basil pesto but it makes a lovely garlicky sauce for the sweet, lemony carrots. Nice no fuss,comforting bowl food. </span><br />

<i>"Pappy and my father sat side by side on the swing, it's rusted chains squeaking as they rocked gently. Gran and my mother shelled butter beans and peas on the other side of the old porch. I was lounging on the top step, within earshot of the radio...waiting with the adults for the heat to finally relent. I missed the steady hum of the old fan..." </i>The Painted House, John Grisham<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well my <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/yarn-along.html">sock plan</a> went a bit topsy turvey. I'd packed the yarn away. All the projects I was working on squashed into my old well travelled leather suitcase, ready for a long weekend in London. Twice as much yarn as clothes. Imagine all the knitting I'd be able to do away from home, with no decorating to even think about. I might even be able to squeeze in a visit to Liberty or Portobello road, or (with a slight ulterior motive) to my sister who lives a stones throw from <a href="http://www.loopknitting.com/">this amazing yarn shop</a>. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then it happened again. The first day in London, I came down with the flu or some horrible virus and I couldn't do a thing. I tried and kept knitting. But I unravelled as many rows as I knitted. Sitting curled up on the sofa in my sister-in-law's flat with a pounding head and a barking cough, a mug of lemon and honey close at hand, I kept making mistakes and the yarn was dark and the needles tiny. I couldn't see when I dropped a stitch. Eventually after I dropped one too many, I gave up and resorted to plan B and bought socks. I'm so sorry I didn't manage to make them but my brain was a bit addled with the germs and I couldn't get my head round the wrap and turn again...I don't know where that sudden aversion has come from...It's also stopped me finishing Ahmad's <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/debbyemadian/cobblestone-pullover">Cobblestone sweater</a>...I really need to get a grip of myself. I've made tons of those socks before...Really deb...Get a hold, and pull your socks up!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For now, it's easy peasy baby steps. I'm making simple fingerless mitts using a lovely <a href="http://www.deramores.com/erika-knight-mittens-pattern/">free pattern</a> by Erika Knight. They are made in the softest <a href="http://www.loveknitting.com/erika-knight-british-blue-wool">Blue Faced Leicester wool</a>. They take two sweet little 25g balls. Hopefully they are the first of a number of stocking fillers. This pair a long overdue gift. It took me ages to decide on the colour. I did quite a bit of cyber stalking. Checking instagram photos to try and decide. Would my long distance friend favour grey or blue, maybe bright red or orange. Not a clue. Maybe 'milk' a subtle winter white, but it was out of stock. Finally I fell across the perfect colour. It was all in the name. 'Gift' a pale honey colour. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm still on the porch in Arkansas when it comes to <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5360.A_Painted_House">book</a>s. It's a slow read so far but I know that will change very soon, so I keep on reading. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We've been to London and West Sussex, and I had flu or something. It was my birthday and I had lots of lovely gifts; a magazine subscription, tons of bulbs and garden things, a hand painted silk scarf and expensive makeup (yes for me) a Persian silver pendant, oh and some of my favourite Burt's Bees products...Lots of nice things and the <a href="http://www.atgtickets.com/shows/the-shawshank-redemption/new-victoria-theatre/">theatre</a> and meals with sparkly wine, and it was lovely (except the flu bit). And back home we've been decorating again and things are feeling even more like home. We did our first spot of Christmas shopping in Hereford and had supper at my favourite <a href="http://www.wagamama.com/">Wagamama's</a>, and don't faint, I've even made the Christmas cake. I've asked Ahmad to secret it away once it's cooled down and parcelled up, or I will be bound to cut just a little slice from it to try, and then it will be down the slippery slope again...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">SOCKS...I made so many pairs last year that the pattern was indelibly ingrained in my mind. I've promised to make some for a kind <a href="http://clover-seven.blogspot.co.uk/">blogger friend</a> whose organised a <a href="http://clover-seven.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/i-need-your-help.html">thoughtful project</a><a href="http://project./">.</a>.. I need some too...The first pair is on the needles. I'm using some randomly died sock yarn from <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/gilibi/stash/strmpegarn---sock-yarn">here</a> because it's a cool colour and because it's 75% wool and 25% polyamide, nice and soft but won't wear too quickly. I go through tons of socks...all that running about in stocking feet. The pattern is my favourite <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/quickie-socks-2">Quickie Socks</a> in <a href="https://wordery.com/the-joy-of-sox-linda-kopp-9781454707790?currency=GBP&gtrck=aWFTbFF3U24zVkUveXVjMFF4czcwVTFTUXRreTRIb0llK3hHQ0RsRjFjQkl0WXIzRlVMUXVHLzg1YTErY0VLYm9sTVA3S2RxNmZVb1lTME1mbDlvd1E9PQ&gclid=CjwKEAiA9uaxBRDYr4_hrtC3tW8SJAD6UU8GipfGlc5ZMFjK_RL2S1wGZ94SpTPJp17z09f6mpxETBoCIfnw_wcB">The Joy of Sox</a> (love that title). </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/annabel-pullover">annabel pullover's</a> almost finished and I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">can't wait to start wearing it. Just one more sleeve to knit and thread in those pesky yarn ends. Like the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/annabel-cardigan">annabel cardigan</a>, the garter stitch makes it a little bulky and because of the boxy unshaped body, it's not the most flattering sweater. But it's going to be so cosy and comfy to wear. It took hardly any time to make and half the amount of yarn I expected...so there's lots spare...Just think how many socks I could make...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It feel's like Christmas again this morning. I think it's because of the mist. It casts an eerie light, like when it snows. It's typical autumn, day-after-bonfire-night mist, but very mild. The 1st of November and the warmest UK November day on record since 1946.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The attic has been restored and we now have storage back again, so we've been finishing off painting it (mostly Ahmad) then trundling back and forth with boxes, up and down from the garden shed, up stairs, and then up into the attic. It's fun to open them and find forgotten treasures, the plastic yellow elephant mirror! Some of Hannah's baby clothes, Christmas decorations, old photographs and winter clothes. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The front room looks a bit like a loading bay again. I bought a bargain vintage 1950's/60's wardrobe for £50. It wouldn't fit up the little old stairs but we managed to dismantle it. Hopefully once painted we'll be able to take it up, bit by bit, then sort out our bedroom at last. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's busy, busy, again but we've had time for a bit of fun. An errand in <a href="http://www.hay-on-wye.co.uk/">Hay</a>, on market day ended in favourite <a href="http://www.boothbooks.co.uk/">Booth's</a>. I couldn't resist having </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/bank-holiday-weekend-books-great-aunt.html">another peek at the old bound Thoreau book</a>...It's well and truly out of my system now...Ahmad treated me to <a href="http://www.boothbooks.co.uk/cafe.htm">lunch</a>. Tasty warm chicken, freekeh and pearl barley salad with a tangy lemon dressing for me, boar burger with crunchy golden chips for him. Then we shared lemon polenta cake with a blackberry and apple glaze. We've eaten there a few times and the food is good, amazing ingredients, great service, well cooked and a nice friendly atmosphere (good for people watching too. There always someone interesting to spot). I love it...but would like to try <a href="http://oldelectric.co.uk/food-and-drink/">The Old Electric Shop</a> next time...the buddha bowls sound interesting...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We bought local honey on the market, a brace of pheasant to cook with pomegranate molasses, walnuts and honey to make Persian fesanjoon, and rabbit, to make stew. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back home we tidied up the garden after the old golden egg plum tree had a short back and sides. I managed to rescue the mistletoe. Hope it'll keep 'til Christmas. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the kitchen I made my first rabbit stew. I'm trying to wean Ahmad off too much red meat. I was hoping he'd like it and didn't expect too much, but hands down this is the most scrumptious thing I've made this year. Probably because of the addition of Ahmad's amazing homemade cherry wine.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">One small wild rabbit, skinned and jointed.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A litre of chicken stock (hot)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Two cloves of garlic</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Two leeks, topped and tailed, cut in half lengthways and sliced and then washed thoroughly in cold water to remove any soil.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Good red wine a couple of glasses. I used our lovely deep red homemade cherry wine. It has a lovely intense fruity, sweet/sour flavour </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A little flour, any kind will do </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Sea salt and black pepper</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Three or four small potatoes</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Two smallish carrots</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Olive oil </span></li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Remove the outer leaves from the leek. Top and tail and cut in half down the centre then cut into smallish slices. Wash thoroughly to remove any soil.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Pour a little olive oil into a heavy based pan,(cast iron is perfect for this). A</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">dd the leeks and cook until softened</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Whilst this is cooking, season a couple of tablespoons of flour with salt and pepper and coat the rabbit portions and peel and wash the potatoes and carrots. Cut the potatoes into quarters and slice the carrots finely.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Peel and crush the garlic cloves and add to the leeks, cook for a few minutes.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Push the leeks and garlic to one side in the pot, add the rabbit portions and brown.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Add the carrots and potatoes to the mixture and combine with the other ingredients.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Pour over the hot stock. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Add the wine and bring the stew to the boil. Cover and reduce the heat. Cook for about two hours until the rabbit is tender. Remembering to check and stir every so often to ensure that it isn't sticking to the bottom of the pan. Adjust seasoning if necessary.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This is delicious served with creamy mashed potatoes and a dark green vegetable like cavelo nero(black tuscan cabbage).</span></div>

<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients for about a dozen pies:</b></span></ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">6oz of cold butter or alternative</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">14oz of plain flour (I used strong flour because I like a firm crust for mince pies, but you may prefer to use regular plain)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">a pinch of salt</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Two beaten eggs</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A little milk</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Icing sugar for dusting. If you like a sweet pastry you may also like to substitute some of the flour with sugar.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A jar of good shop bought mincemeat. I used just over half of an 840g jar of rich Christmas mincemeat. If using a plainer one you may like to add extra lemon zest, chopped apples, or other fruit or alcohol to spice it up a bit. </span></li>
</ul>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 200c</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Sift the flour into a baking bowl.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to the flour. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Add icing sugar at this point if making a sweet pastry and stir. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Add the eggs and combine to form a dough. Wrap with baking parchment or place in a plastic bag and chill in the fridge for about twenty minutes.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Oil a muffin pan well.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Flour a clean work surface. Remove the pastry from the fridge a and cut in half. Return one half to the fridge to keep cool. Roll out the pastry until it measures about 3mm thick. Cut out twelve circles using a cutter or glass that larger with a 4ins diameter. Place one into each of the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">holes in the pie tin and press to shape.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Spoon a generous spoonful of mincemeat into each one.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Do the same with the other half of the pastry. Only using a 3ins diameter cutter. Place these circles on top of the pies. Press gently together.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Brush the tops with milk and then bake for about twenty minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Dust with icing sugar.</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Weekdays are busy. I'm always looking for new recipes for those days. New favourites are Jamie Oliver's Sweet Potato Muffins and Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall's Beetroot Burgers and Spinachy wraps. If you like beetroot and felafel, you will love these. I found another simple breakfast recipe for baked oats <a href="http://www.susan-chambers.com/2015/10/s-tay-stay-at-home-my-heart-and-rest.html#comment-form">here</a>. I made it the night before, leaving it in the fridge overnight, and then popped into the oven to bake whilst making morning coffee. Cut into squares and then served warm with butter melting on top it makes a delicious alternative to porridge or cereals.

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's <a href="http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/magazine/article4193295.ece">Spinachy Wraps</a>. These chick pea (garbanzo bean/gram) flour wraps with a spinach filling are extremely more-ish and very easy to make. The chick pea flour adds a nutty dimension. I've also made them with left over salad leaves like watercress and rocket instead of spinach, they are just as tasty. I love them with baby gem lettuce leaves, cottage cheese and green olives. </span></li>

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall's beetroot burgers. These along with the spinach wraps are my favourite new recipe, made by grating raw beetroot, carrot, onion, garlic with cooked chickpeas, spices and seasoning. Just blitzed together and combined to make tasty little burgeers, these are amazing. </span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My needles are <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/knitting-therapy.html">flying again</a>. This </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/annabel-pullover">Annabel pullover </a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">seems to be magically growing. The <a href="http://www.loveknitting.com/debbie-bliss-blue-faced-leicester-dk">Blue Faced Leicester</a> yarn is amazingly soft and comes in lovely shades. The Gold reminds me of the golden <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/days-like-these.html">wheat fields down the lane</a> and my favourite <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/the-elan-valley.html">Elan Valley</a>. The pattern is so simple that I can knit on the go. I don't want to put it down, and find any excuse not to. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Maybe it's because I had a bit of a brain freeze with the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/debbyemadian/cobblestone-pullover">Cobblestone Pullover</a>...My fault, not the pattern (it's an easy one too). I just had a minor wobbly when it came to the wrap and turn. Or maybe because the Icelandic <a href="http://www.deramores.com/lopi-lettlopi-black-heather-0005">lopi yarn</a>, which I love as well, isn't quite as soft as this. This seems like a dream to work with. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This will be the second <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/debbyemadian/annabel-pullover">Annabel sweater</a> that I've knitted. I made the last one with linen yarn. I've decided to make it a few inches longer than the pattern. I cast off the body but left the yarn attached so that I could try it on. It's still a little shorter than I want, and as it's a boxy pullover I've decided to increase it at the sides to fit snuggly over the top of my hips and prevent it riding up at the back. That's the plan anyway, I'll put the notes on ravelry if I manage to do it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Weekend plans to finish all outdoor painting got rained off on Saturday by bad weather and an autumn cold. Baking, comfort food, and ginger and green jasmine tea, eased my aching head. A parcel from <a href="http://www.loveknitting.com/">Love Knitting</a> with some of my favourite English <a href="http://www.loveknitting.com/debbie-bliss-blue-faced-leicester-dk">wool</a>, sweets and a handy little drawstring bag arrived and somehow calmed my wheezy chest. In-between sneezing I managed to start another <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/debbyemadian/annabel-pullover">Annabel sweater</a>. It's amazing how a few balls of yarn can brighten up a sad soul, especially when watching <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF3lPlF2ryQ">Rachel Khoo</a> bring back recipes from her travels and then try them out in her colourful little quirky London kitchen. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There seems to be a pattern forming, food-wise. Mid-week experimenting. Busy days and looking for speedy nutritious meals. I've tried some good ones recently and will share them soon. But weekends are for family and tradition and it seems that I keep going back to the old favourites like a <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/aunties-apple-cake-like-my-mum-used-to.html">spelt aunties apple cake</a>, made with amazing windfalls from a neighbours garden, <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/weekend-christmas-knits-and-cosy.html">chicken pot pies</a>, with cauliflower greens (must tell you about those too,) and <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/weekendall-creatures-great-and-small.html">risotto</a> with whatever's in the store cupboard and vegetable basket.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">All the while sweet Ahmad was cleaning beams in the attic then applying bees wax, and painting walls, checking every so often in my cosy spot with a blanket in front of the television to see if I need anything. He even made himself a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ploughman%27s_lunch">ploughman's lunch</a> and brought the camera to me with a photographs he'd taken for me to post here. He's the best...even growing his moustache into one of those cute smiley musketeer ones...just because I like them...It's amazing what can cheer a girl(I use the term loosely) up...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Maybe it's because I was born and raised in the city, that I get stupidly excited when a shrivelled old potato that started to sprout angry purple roots in the vegetable rack can give me back a whole colander full; if I just dig a little hole, bury the potato and water it every so often...Don't you think it's amazing. Or is it just me</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Or that a green vine with cute curling tendrils and golden flowers would emerge when I planted the seeds, saved from a butternut squash that we'd eaten. Even when the flowers dropped off and I had to take off some of the leaves and prop it up on Bababozorgs old walking stick and the sunflower stalk and follow wise advice from the lovely <a href="http://hopeandthrift.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/at-last.html">Jane</a>, to give it a good talking to...Gently but firmly...And guess what...It produced more flowers and they are still in tact. There's even a cute little bulbous protrusion on one of them. MY FIRST SQUASH...Can you see it?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Yesterday the wind blew most of the leaves off the plum tree and wafted the scent of the sweet peas and the honeysuckle around the garden. It was mild and balmy and smelt like spring all over again. A robin landed on the fork handle and I heard what I thought was someone cutting branches with an electric saw to fill up their woodpile. The buzzing got louder and an enormous bumble bee buzzed by my ear. The robin lingered to keep me company. Or probably just waiting for fresh worms, whilst I weeded the vegetable plot and dug up the potatoes and found the squirrels treasure trove of cobnuts. I even sneaked a peek at the baby ca</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">r</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">rots...They are growing with the fruit bushes in another bed but I'll leave them in the nursery to get a little bigger. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While digging I remembered the piece of garden that was mine when I was seven. How I planted a potato and maize seeds, watering them with a can that was almost as big as I was. I checked them every single day until I couldn't wait any longer and impatiently dug up those minuscule pearls. Washed them and put them into my tiny silver toy saucepan with the shiny red lid and begged granddad to let me cook them on the stove... It's still just as magical to me today...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is how I used some of my lovley homegrown potatoes... </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>( I made two small and one large)</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">One basa or any other fish fillet. I like basa because it's creamy and milky in flavour, melts in your mouth and has few bones. Also because it's a not too fishy, fish that I feed Ahmad, who likes fish in theory, but not in practice.(About 120g for the two)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Two large potato (about 360-400g) Basically about three times as much potato as fish.You will need a floury not waxy potato that mashes well. A good all rounder is Morris Piper.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A little milk of any kind to poach the fish and then add to the potatoes</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Sea salt and black pepper</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A small piece of horseradish root</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A bay leaf</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Fresh herbs or leaves if you have any. I used chives, parsley, or spinach would be good too.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A little flour of choice, I used chick pea (gram/garbanzo bean) flour</span></li>
</ul>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Optional for a crumb coating:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Bread crumbs</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">An egg</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Peel the potatoes,and cut into small pieces. The smaller the better as they will cook quicker.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Place them in a saucepan. Cover them with cold water. Not too much, just enough to cover. Season and put them on the hob.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until tender enough to mash. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Whilst the potatoes are cooking place the fish into a shallow pan if you have one. A small frying pan is perfect for this. Cover with a little milk, season and then poach the fish until tender. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Alternatively, as I've done may like to cook the fish on a plate on top of the pan whilst the potatoes are cooking.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Drain the potatoes when cooked and place them into a bowl. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Remove the cooked fish and reserve to cool down a little for later.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Mash the potatoes adding some of the milk (remembering to remove the bay leaf)and beat it really well so that there aren't any lumps. Don't make the mash too runny as it will be difficult to form the fish cakes. If it is too soft you can add a little of the flour to the mixture. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Flake in the fish and roughly mix. Don't mash it up too much it's good to keep a little texture. Grate in a little of the horseradish root for heat.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Chop any herbs or chives and then add to the mixture. As all the ingredients are cooked you may like to check the seasoning and adjust if necessary. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Divide the mixture into as many cakes as you want. I am sometimes a bit overgenerous with sizes. Form each one into a flat cake. Dust with a little flour then place on a plate lined with baking parchment. If making lots I would layer them up with paper in between each layer. Put in the fridge to chill for a little while before cooking.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">If using crumbs. Prepare your crumbs. Beat the egg and pour onto a plate. Then dip the floured cakes into egg and then crumb mixture. Then chill</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Finally pour a little oil into a frying pan and cook the cakes for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crunchy. Leave on each side at least two minutes before turning as they will break up.</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Four small or two medium sized peppers. About 200-220g. Choose red, yellow or orange peppers for a sweet sauce. Green ones are not as ripe and consequently not as sweet. They have a slightly bitter taste.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Tomato puree</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">One banana shallot</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Two cloves of garlic</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Sea salt and fresh black pepper</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A little oil of choice. I used olive oil</span></li>
</ul>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Peel the shallot and slice finely. Pour a little oil into a frying pan and cook until tender.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Peel and crush or finely chop the garlic, add to the pan and cook.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Wash, deseed and finely chop the peppers and add to the pan. Spoon in some tomato puree and cook until tender. You make like to add a little hot water or stock. If making to serve with the fish cakes, you could use a little of the potato water.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The sauce is ready when all the ingredients are soft and unctuous. You can blend it to a smooth sauce or keep it rustic as I did. </span></li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This is a sweet sauce but you can soon pep it up with by adding either fresh or dried chillies when cooking. It works well with the crunchy fish cakes and other seasonal vegetables, and would be just as good with pasta. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">... I must look for that little pan...sure I saw it when we were unpacking...</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A cosy autumn weekend, a copy of <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/the-hobbit-chicken-pot-pie-and-ginger.html"> an earlier one</a>. It felt like Christmas, knitting first stocking fillers, using fun yarn from <a href="http://www.tigerstores.co.uk/search/knitting_yarn.html">here</a> for someone who can't wear wool. Old fashioned land army girl style mittens attached with string. I'm using <a href="http://www.knittingonthenet.com/patterns/kidsmittens.htm">this</a> simple pattern. But there will be pompoms. Ahmad and Hannah were like bookends, one reading, one writing. I dawdled but eventually finished reading my comfy <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7945049-bury-your-dead">Inspector Gamache murder mystery</a>. Then picked up John Grisham's, <i><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5360.A_Painted_House">A Painted House</a></i> and burrowed into 1950's rural Arkansas cotton picking.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We wrapped up for autumn walks and came home with vintage finds. Hungry for Chicken pot pie, <a href="http://cookingupastorminateacup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/bank-holiday-weekend-books-great-aunt.html">apple strudel</a> and the first fire of the season. We celebrated another first, Hannah's first <a href="http://www.thestateofthearts.co.uk/2015/10/06/mobile-home-do-ho-suhs-new-york-city-apartmentbristol/">published article</a>; a review of an art installation in Bristol</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">. Then chilled with Nina Simone and Bach. The soundtrack for a relaxed weekend, punctuated by conversation, <a href="http://english.arnedahl.net/?rID=1054&page=about-arne-dahl">Scandinavian Murder</a>, and a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8VwLjdt5xc">collaboration</a> stitched together by musical souls. Try to catch this if you can (the whole <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2015/10/02/exclusive-scouting-for-girls-are-back-after-dodging-death-and-bad-timing-in-the-rainforest-5418761/">episode four</a> not just this trailer) It will melt your heart...Yey for Agnes...she's awesome...(Hannah too...)</span><br />

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Four chicken portions with the skin removed</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Two smallish leeks,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">peeled washed well, and finely sliced</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Four banana shallots, peeled and cut into pieces</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">One clove of garlic, peeled and crushed or chopped finely</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Two carrots, washed and finely sliced</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Four small waxy potatoes, washed and cut into 1cm slices</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Sea salt and black pepper</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Fresh herbs of choice. I used rosemary and thyme. Sage works well with chicken too.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">About a litre of hot stock </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Olive oil or alternative </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>For the pie crust:</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Six ounces of strong flour (or favourite) plus a little extra for rolling out</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">One teaspoon of fine sea salt</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Three ounces of chilled butter or non-dairy alternative</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">One beaten egg, plus a little milk</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Pour a little olive oil into a heavy bottom pan. Heat up the oil </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and then add the chicken portions, browning slightly. Take them out and reserve for a little later.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Place the sliced leeks into the pan and soften.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Add the shallots and cook a little further. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Add the sliced carrots and do the same. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Return the chicken to the pan along with the herbs and potatoes and season. Taking into account how salty the stock is.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Pour over the stock. Turn up the heat to ensure the stock is bubbling and then reduce to a low simmer. Cover and cook until the vegetables and chicken are tender and the stock has reduced to a thick and tasty gravy. This should take about thirty to forty minutes.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Remove from the heat and leave to cool whilst making the pastry.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Make the pie crust:</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Sift the flour into a bowl.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Cut up the chilled butter and fold it into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Add the salt if using and stir well.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Add most of the egg and combine the crumb mixture until it forms a soft but firm dough. Form this into a rough ball shape and wrap in baking parchment. Chill in the fridge for half an hour or so. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">When ready to make the pie heat up the oven to 180/200c </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Dust your work surface with a little flour and rolling pin and cut the dough ball into quarters. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Form each quarter into a rough ball/egg shape depending on the dish and roll until a couple of centimetres (about an inch)larger. Wet the lip of the dish with a little of the egg/milk mixture and then carefully place the pastry over the dish. Press the edges firmly. Cut any excess and decorate if you like.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Paint with the egg wash. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Do the same for all four pies. Place on a baking sheet and place in the middle of the oven.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Cook for about twenty minutes to half an hour until the pastry is golden brown and the contents piping hot. </span></li>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">You will need a heavy bottomed saucepan and a deep eight inch baking pan lined with a double of layer of baking parchment. You can see how to do this <a href="http://www.deliaonline.com/how-to-cook/baking/how-to-line-a-cake-tin.html">here</a>.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 150c/300f.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Prepare the baking pan by greasing and lining and then put to one side.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Place the butter or alternative into the saucepan and melt.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Add all the other fruits, water, spices, vanilla extract, alcohol if using and sugar. Cover and simmer for twenty minutes until the fruits have all plumped up and the sugar has dissolved. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Take off the heat and allow to cool. You may speed this up by filling the sink with cold water and standing the pan in it.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Once cooled down (not cold or the butter will begin to harden)remove from the sink and add the eggs and flour and mix well.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Carefully spoon the mixture into the lined cake pan. Arrange walnuts on the top and then glaze with a little apricot jam. If it's a thick jam thin with a little warm water. Place on a baking tray and cook in the centre of the oven for an hour. Remove the baking parchment and then cook for a further fifteen minutes until a lovely golden brown colour. Test with a skewer to ensure that it's cooked in the middle. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Leave to cool in the tin for five or ten minutes. Carefully remove from the tin and place on a rack to cool further. </span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This cake keeps really well in an air tight container. I think that it improves with age as the flavours mature. </span></div>
