I am not sure what variety of apple I have, it is sort of half way between eater and cooker, and good for both! It is also late, another month I think. So whilst I did have a raspberry and apple stewed fruit with some windfalls yesterday I am going to collect apple recipes here.
GARLIC BREAD
I like Jamie Olivers recipes – I like the way he writes and presents, maybe because we are both from Essex.
Anyway I am going to make a scaled down version of this recipe for Garlic Bread.
Breakfast tomorrow
I get up at stupid o’clock and sort out the papers for the local shop by 6.30. So having done a Waitrose shop (I don’t care – I am middle class!), tomorrow I an going to treat myself to wholemeal sourdough toast with smoked salmon and avocado with a dash of lemon juice – maybe even a dash of chilli sauce to jerk me into consciousness and the day!
Chilli sauce
Having read loads of recipes – this is what I am going to do. But first I need to get some gloves because this could get painful! A bit like yawning – see someone yawn and it is catching. Touch a chilli and your eye needs a rub! Jamie Oliver Recipe
Pickled chillies
LISTS – Number 1. – Herbs
Chillies
I have lots of pretty red ones which are not hot at all. However I just had a quick bite off the end of a green one from a different plant. Eyes watering, half a pint of milk, lips numb! Wow!
Random
There is some random news about this weekend. A football match between Fleetwood Town and Burton Albion was stopped due to apples being thrown over the stand onto the pitch!
And then there a growing numbers of reports of attacks by a pod of Orca Whales on yachts. They have disabled a couple. Come on you orca’s!! I read once about an incident in New Zealand. Geese mate for life. A guy went out shooting and shot one, the other of the pair flew straight at him and killed him! Geese fly very fast – 50+kmph.
Pizza in oven,Siri is doing the timing. I KNOW she is not real, but she has such a positive voice, and I love the Irishness! She tells some fairly bad jokes and her weather forecast is not that great, but she is nice to Alexa!
STRAWBERRY LEATHERS
Hull the strawberries – best done with nice music as it is boring! Liquidise – stew with lemon juice, an apple or two and some desiccated coconut or coconut flour (to thicken up the liquid). Heat to reduce liquid content and then heat for 6/8 hours at about 130C. 2kg of strawberries, 1 lemon, 4 apples = 6 leathers 30cm x 30cm.
