Yesterday was all about filling jars: labneh, olives and lemon marmalade.
I hadn't made labneh for a while. It had been at the back of my mind when someone arrived at my stall.
I am looking for lubna
Huh?
The yoghurt cheese in olive oil. Someone sent me to get some.
I was most surprised because it's over a year since I made it and had it at the market. So.
Then it was starting the process of bottling the olives that have been curing over the last few months. This batch of 12 jars is just the beginning.
After the big chop and long cook, there were 23 jars of lemon marmalade.
Not in the picture photo, but most definitely in jars, ham and pea soup.
Not in jars, or photographed, and also on yesterday's menu the usual conversations with mother for sourdough rolls and loaves.
A quick fish Friday supper after a long kitchen day. Pan fried hake and a basil and garlic mayo with a side salad. A meal we've not had in ages.
Until next time, be well

- 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.
