I was thinking about an attack on the garden – gloves on, secateurs ready – then I noticed a caterpillar on the nettle I was about to attack! – so gloves off and I will wait another couple of weeks.
So instead I put some lamb to marinade with garlic, lemon, cinnamon and herbs and salt. A Felicity Cloake recipe for kleptiko. I might go and get some shallots to pickle tomorrow, and thus strawberries for jam too. The weather is turning so it will give me something to do! Well I could try cleaning? Nah! Coconut cookies with strawberry jam appeals to my creative spirit! And then maybe soak raisins or sultanas in brandy and make some xmas style cookies?
