Lunches

Adam and I both leave the house at the same time now which I like because it is nice to have someone to talk to in the morning. I even like making his lunch. Here is a selection of his fruit which looks like a smiley face!

Granola

Margaret got me granola from Frangipan! It is no ordinary granola, it is chock full of almonds, pumpkin seeds and raisins and the granola is crispy and not too sweet. We only had it for a few days before it was gone. It inspired me to make my own gourmet granola with pumpkin seesds, almonds, coconut, walnuts and craisins. I burnt it a little which is why there is no picture.

Thai food at home

Adam made Thai (style) food at home. I could not believe all the effort he put into it. He made the broth, noodles, fish and veggie fixings all separately and we put it together at the table. It was hearty yet light and I love the spritz of lime. Not sure how authentic it is but it sure was delicious!

Dinner at Marg's

Margaret invited me over to dinner and she made risotto and Ben made the shrimp. I was so impressed with both of their dishes. If it was iron chef I would have to declare a tie.

Casual Dinner

We didn't feel like making a big dinner so we put together a dinner of fresh baguette, brie, dates, fresh figs and almonds. We added some wine to make it classy.

The Bounty of our Harvest

Coriander seeds from our cilantro plants. There is a lot of it. Adam said it is key in making your own curry mix and I heard from TV that, in large amounts, it has narcotic properties but I am still not sure what we are going to do with it all.
Tomato salad with basil - all from the garden. It was good too but it is kind of sad to think it will probably be our last big tomato harvest.
Tara kept talking about tomato sandwiches when we were at the gym one day so I had to have one. I picked one red and one yellow tomato for contrast but there was so much tomato that I had to do two open faced sandwiches.
By the way - we do have other stuff in the garden but when I see the tomatoes I just have to get the camera out!

Haddock and rose sauce
