September 2016: Still Summer

What an interesting experience of weather!  Here, the months are warm and confused.  Sometimes rain deluges as though April has reappeared; yet, at other times, the sun burns so completely that a veritable Arabian desert seems the only possible outcome.

In between excursions, I am harvesting, potting and pickling.  The delights of curd-making have been discovered and as each crop develops, I am experimenting.  Taste tests still reveal gooseberry curd as the favourite and not simply for the flavour.  The beautiful and entirely natural pink is a joy to the sight and a wonderful invitation.

I have recently re-discovered recipes for fruit cheeses and have a yearning to experiment…  Add that to my frugal determination that my ThermoCook WILL manifest all of its promise and culinary adventures – and hilarious antics – are only a taste bud or two away!

Why not have a turn yourself?
