It still doesn't quite feel like spring as the mornings have been cool and the wind comes up each day around 9.30 that keeps daytime temperatures low. We have managed a couple of swims in the pool in the evening when the wind dies down. Even though the pool water is heated - blissfully - it's not enjoyable sitting in the pool when the wind is blowing throughout the day.
I've been trying some new recipes that were absolutely sensational even if I do say so myself. The first one I tried is from the Everyday Gourmet television show. It was baked rib bones with a green bean and tomato salad. It's a hard dish to photograph so you just have to imagine how good it tasted....
The next day I made Caramel Chicken with Pickled Carrot salad from Marions Kitchen website. It was also another winner and certainly a keeper....
At the moment I have a crockpot of Beef Barbacoa simmering away. This is a mexican dish so I am going to char grill some corn cobs and serve the beef, corn and avocado in a soft tortilla. Tomorrow I am going to have the leftover Barbacoa as a Budha Salad Bowl.
Did I mention that my very clever husband has installed a watering system through the garden? It is going to save us hours of shifting hoses and it works a treat. The garden is evenly watered throughout the wee small hours of the morning before the wind gets up and the garden is loving it. I took a wander through the garden yesterday afternoon with my camera in hand. It is a mass of spring colour at the moment.
Well my friends, that's a wrap for this week. Take care xx
