April

I left Sydney 22 years ago but there are still plenty of times that I really miss it. I have been extremely lucky over the years and have avoided any major traffic jams when I visit. I know... how does this happen? Anyway, just as I was having a "Sydney" moment on Saturday morning, I realised how lucky I am to live where I do.
I watched the lorikeets playing in the birdbath, the magpies and currawongs digging in the garden and a group of very loud, juvenile white cockatoos swooping and diving through the trees. I'm not so happy about sharing my small veggie patch with the baby rabbits and my roof with a tango dancing possum but hey... I know I'm alive!

Delish

So much of my time seems to revolve around food, drooling over new recipes, talking about it, cooking it and of course, eating it. It seems then, to include at least one favourite recipe or cooking tip every month. So here goes... I have some wonderful apples on the trees at home - don't ask me their names, just red and green juicy sweet apples. I love stewed apples and winter is fast approaching (I'm pretending that it's still summer though) so here's my apple recipe. Apples, peeled, cored and sliced as you like them, peeled and finely sliced fresh ginger, lemon rind, remove the pith. Sugar to taste and cook with a small amount of water until they start to fall apart. The ginger and lemon rind will melt into the apples and it's delicious!
