A picking of peas from the garden, cooked with mint, made the perfect comfort food companion for the second (and last) piece of angel fish.
We have had so much rain that the rampant weeds are choking everything. The broad beans are struggling with too much damp with a bit of black spot. We're never happy, are we?
Unlike these two, sunning themselves. Completely irrelevant, but sweet.
I spent much of yesterday making a small batch of pickles and cleaning labels from jars for the next batch of marmalade. More about both of those tomorrow.
Peas, especially freshly picked are sublime and made only more heavenly with one of my favourite combinations: fish and parsley sauce.
Braaied with the same simple treatment of lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and butter and served with potatoes and parsley sauce.
Just what the doctor ordered at the end of a miserably windy day.
Until next , be well

- If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
