Sunshine! That's what I've been waiting for.  This colour combo is one of the happiest i can think of.  Gone is the suck winter weather it's time to celebrate!

YUMMM

 I must tell whoever is reading that this recipe is a winner.  I made it with porterhouse steak and added a small onion and 1 garlic to the sauce. I just cut them in half and remove them once all the cooking is done and they have released their caramelised flavor.

Playdoh...Doh!

Just made playdoh This recipe is so quick and easy. Just realised that the colour of it is just like my carpet...not a good idea as i probably won't see where it ends up.

Artichokes are mysterious

Very excited to start harvesting artichokes from my veggie patch. There is little else to harvest apart from some silver beet that just keeps giving. It's a very weird and wonderful plant the artichoke.  The flowers are stunning but i think id rather eat the artichokes than let them flower.

Now how to cook the artichoke. it's a bit intimidating at first when your holding this weird flower thing the size of your hand thinking "somehow I've got to cook this and make it edible".  It was quite fun cooking my first artichoke and extra rewarding was that it came from my garden and i didn't go out and buy the sad looking ones at the shop.
