Wintering

Mum only went into work once again last night, and managed to get home at a reasonable time so got a good bit of sleep, which she well enjoyed.  She got to lay in be bed and finish another book before getting up at a lazy 10am.  A shower and some housekeeping were taken care of.  The day was sunny, but cool, so she rugged up in her jacket and headed into town before the fruit and vegetable market closed down at 3pm.

Winter vegetables are certainly much cheaper with at least 50% savings than buying from the supermarket.  So tonights dinner for her was a small piece of lamb with a large serving of cabbage, and some pumpkin/broccoli/kumara and red onion roasted together with a squeeze of lemon on top and olive oil and salt and pepper to season. 

So now the curtains are drawn and us girls are relaxing.  Mum will scrub her face and put a relaxing mask on.  Me - well I am sleeping on my shopping bag on the mama bed waiting until it is bedtime and we can have a little chat.

  2. It would be nice if you could get that printed out and laminated and put on your kitchen wall. It is so artistic and colourful.
    The roasties sound delicious and too like to squeeze lemon over broccoli and cauliflower.
    I used to hate Brussel sprouts till I sliced them up and fried in a little butter and a squeeze of lemon. It tastes wonderful and like quite a different vegetable.
    Just spaghetti for us tonight.
    I wonder what Poppy ‘s flavour of the night was.

  3. I wish your mum would give us her recipes. Poppy dear. We’ll pass on asking Fancy Feast for theirs.
