- If at first you don’t suceed, try again. I did!
- If you follow a winning recipe, try to make sure you leave experimenting for another day. I didn’t.
- You will need to let your pan heat up well before you grease it
- Whatever you do, make sure you ‘rest’ your steak
- If you fail the second, third, fourth or even fifth time…..don’t give up.
I always say this is why I love food – its ever forgiving nature.

‘Wake me up for the weekend’ were words emblazoned on a night shirt I had when I was as teenager! Now, I’m saying….wake me up for the winter!
And it is about time too for summer’s gone, winter’s almost come. And I’m enjoying autumn in between!

….yesterday, and today…and I suspect forever. M from the Epicurean’s market gave me two blog awards! When I saw her September Harvest post, I knew we were ‘siblings’! Thanks M
I would like to pass this award to some of my favourite bloggers
- Celia of Fig Jam and Lime Cordial who has wowed me with her recipe for making your own Homemade Pectin for jams!
- Rebecca of Chow and Chatter, for her short, sweet and informative pieces, my favourite of which is Where are you from?
- Beth of 990 square who inspired me to make oven-roasted tomatoes…time and time again
- Velva of Tomatoes on the vine….who let me know that I haven’t lived until I’ve had Mac and Cheese
- KMS of Kiss my spatula who gives Banana bread a whole new spin with coconut and lime!

Does this really exist? As in Scottish High tea? Or is this another adorable Scottish fable….like the Haggis sheep? Personally, I don’t know what to make of it…considering that when I did a Google search, I got a mix of responses. One, which had me reeling with laughter. Perhaps it does exist…after all…and is not a mere figment of the good ole Scot’s superactive grey matter!
And should it all be a tattle tale…then I’d much rather live in ‘my fantasy’ of delicious salted chocolate caramel shortbread and yoghurt pots, scones with Lemon Thyme curd and cream…. and Tea….oh, the wonders of blooming teas (more Chinese than Scottish , I know but I’m not nit-picking). Totally amazing…it were as though I was underwater snorkelling and at the same time watching something unique being born! Not to be missed. The yellow flowers in this are Marigolds …..

So after blogging about my excitement about my sushi class yesterday morning…my daughter demanded chocolate waffles. It was 10 o’clock when I started… and time seemed to go on for ever…till I looked at the clock to see it was almost eleven. If I didn’t run out of the house (via the bathroom), I would be very late! The sushi post will come but as you can imagine, I have numerous videos and photos which need some serious stitching together to paint the very delicious picture that was yesterday! Consider this an interim offering please!
