R.I.P Richard Briers


This week has seen the sad passing of the delightful, witty Richard Briers, oh how he made us laugh in the TV series "The Good Life".
As the eccentric Tom in the Good Life, I'm sure many of got inspiration from watching Tom and Barbara setting up their self sufficiency garden on TV, it's a timeless series, I adored it:)

He will be sadly missed by all, very true that they say he was one of Britain's "National Treasures"

Sunday Morning at Northey Street Organic Markets

We headed out early on Sunday morning to the Northey Street Organic Markets, it is Brisbane's best known City Farm too.
 A few shots of the City Farm

 It was a lovely morning, we will be doing this again for sure.

Have a great day.

January In My Kitchen

Firstly I would like to wish all a Very Happy, Healthy, Productive and Prosperous New Year:)

In My Kitchen This Month

An Egyptian Basbousa, very simple to make from the Maeve O'Meara Food Safari TV series and book.

Left over ham, eggs from our chickens, home grown zucchini, tomatoe and onions make a tasty meal to enjoy with a side salad.
Love this time of year with all the beautiful stone fruits available and of course mangoes by the tray are very addictive.
A Maifan Stone Mill Grinder that I picked up on Gumtree for $20 used by the Japanese for grinding Matcha Tea used in their tea ceremonies, I have tea growing here so I am going to attempt to process my own green tea, couldn't get any fresher and purer than that.

Please take a look at Celia's blog Fig Jame and Lime Cordial for other interesting In My Kitchen Posts.

Have a great day

Shirley :)
