   Those doughnuts and bagels look phenomenal! I love how you give your readers an insight as to what is in your kitchen, very creative.

   I don’t know what to comment about… the duck curry made my heart literally miss a couple of beats… I want it, I want it, I want it! Then the doughnuts almost took me to a full cardiac arrest…

   everything is wonderful this month, but your glasses are SOOOO stylish you look superb with them!

     Sally, choosing the glasses was a hoot – we sat around and everyone just spend the evening laughing at me.. :D

   So much love in your kitchen Celia, always so many wonderful things. I don’t have much to share this month but my post will be up and running in the morning.
   I adore your new glasses – what a clever way of going through loads of frames to decide which you want.
   Have a beautiful day.

   WOW! I should say this at first, I loved your photographs, especially fruits and vegetables… they are so beautiful. Thank you dear Celia, have a nice and enjoyable time in your lovely kitchen, love, nia

     Nia, thank you! The fruit and veg basket was such a huge treat, Lizzy is incredibly generous!

   Lovely things in your kitchen! The fruit and veggie basket is amazing! Gorgeous flowers. The cookies, doughnuts, and bagels have me drooling. I would love some doughnuts now. Enjoy your week!

     Hello lovely, hope all is well in BC, particularly with the new bubba! x

   Celia, I love your bowls. They are just so wonderful, what a delight. I am very envious of your well brought up chooks. It is getting harder and harder to find quality chicken here. Your donuts look fabulous I can’t believe how many you made. I bought one today and ate it :)
   Here is my post for the month. All the best to you and your family.
   Cheers

     Glenda, I ate three doughnuts, the rest were shared around. Honest! :) Small Man did manage seven on his own though.. :)

   Currently in my kitchen is a mess as I juggle making potato peperonata for tea, along with a sourdough chocolate cake, and preparing mangoes for freezing.
   Your tea bowl is beautiful, and I will be making that beef and barley soup as it is getting colder by the day here in the UK.
   Lots of love in your kitchen Celia, and very well deserved.

   
   
   • on September 6, 2015 at 11:05 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

     Thanks Kim! Sourdough chocolate cake! That sounds intriguing! Hope you’re having a wonderful month.. xx

     
     
     • on September 6, 2015 at 9:06 pm themateriallady

       It is actually delicious – declared the best by my niece. I will email the recipe if you would like it.

         Thanks Kim – can I let you know? I’ve got a backlog of new recipes to try and the moment! :)

   Beautiful you! So many lovely things in your kitchen.
   I’ve got a whole wheat sourdough experiment rising in the kitchen. I’m trying to get more fiber into the bread. It’s a slooow riser. Hugs, Maz.

   
   
   • on September 6, 2015 at 11:06 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

     You know, I’ve never been a fan of whole wheat (we call it wholemeal here). Just don’t love the flavour. More fibre is an admirable goal though – I hope it worked well for you! xx

     
     
     • on September 7, 2015 at 6:29 am marilynscottwaters

       It turned okay, in my opinion, not nearly as moreish as reg. sourdough. The hub and friends loved it so I’m going to try again with added rye and wheat germ. Onward! Maz.

    So many lovely things and you deserve each and every one! Beautiful cup, it woud be a pleasure to drink out of it. And we have almost identical specs :) Just made soda bread as I was (panic, panic) breadless and dinner time is coming round and it was a quick solution!

    Another wonderful tumble of a post Ms Celia. Excellent share on those glasses by the way :)

    
    
    • on September 1, 2015 at 7:18 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Fran, the glasses are just so cheap – my last multis cost me about $700! :)

      
      
      • on September 1, 2015 at 6:27 pm narf77

        Cheers for that Celia. Stevie-boy is pretending not to need glasses. I know he does and now I know how to save money as well. $700?! I hope they had gold rims! ;)

    I’m loving those doughnuts Celia, I might have to make some as well! And what a lovely gift from your sisters-in law, simply stunning. Nothing better than a cup of tea on a cold day – we have been having few of these over here in the UK and you can feel the change in the air. Here is my post this month x

    OOh homemade doughnuts. And the bagels, I love that you make your own, I am so lazy when it comes to baking kind of recipes.

    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:09 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Shaheen, the bagels take quite a lot of work, so I don’t make them all the time. They’re great fun though! Hope all is well on your side of the planet! :)

    Your kitchen (as always) is a place of love Celia. Fennel tea? Do you brew it yourself or is it packaged? Love to you xxx

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:09 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Hello lovely. I buy Turkish fennel tea in bags, and it’s divine..

18. on September 1, 2015 at 6:49 am Liz @ spades, spatulas, and spoons

    The color of those tea cups is gorgeous! Fennel tea sounds interesting, do you dry the fennel yourself or use fennel seeds? The donuts made my mouth water, I bet they are wonderful with tea.

    The glasses are very stylish!

    Here is my post;https://spadesspatulasandspoons.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/september-2015-in-my-kitchen/

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:11 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Liz, as I mentioned above, I buy the fennel tea in bags from Turkey. It’s delicious! I probably should try making my own, but this is very gentle and not overly aniseedy…

      Very, very happy with how the duck curry turned out! It was a winner! :)

      
      
21. on September 1, 2015 at 7:42 am Jennifer @Milk and Honey

    What a jam-packed kitchen you have. Your tea bowl is gorgeous. That colour! I’ve been baking (and boiling) batches and batches of your sourdough bagels (another on the go today, as a matter of fact). My family won’t go a week without a batch.

    Nice specs. The really suit you.

    Here’s mine: http://milk-and.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/in-my-kitchen-september-2015.html

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:12 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Jen, I’m SO happy to hear that! I find the bagels take a bit of work – so impressed you’re doing it weekly! :)

      
      
22. on September 1, 2015 at 9:12 am Eva Taylor

    I’m curious how much that chicken set you back? Here, it’s at least 3X as expensive as normal chicken but it’s worth it. You have a lot of beautiful things in your kitchen this month, I do love the tea cup, so special with the turtle at the bottom. The glasses look adorable on you. We have a Vancouver company that does on line glasses called Clearly Contacts (they do regular glasses too).

    
    
    • on September 1, 2015 at 9:33 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Eva, it was about $30. I can get a decent free range one (in barn with access to outdoors) for $17, and no idea how much a battery chook costs these days! I try to buy one of Beth’s birds a month to support all the good work they do, but I can’t really afford it every week. Their poultry really do have amazing lives though – they spend all their days roaming in open fields! :)

      
      
23. on September 1, 2015 at 9:22 am lambsearsandhoney

    I just adore your tea cups – I like the colour, the shape and the little animals in the bottom. What gorgeous gifts!
    Also, thanks for the tip re the specs. I have looked at online suppliers for glasses, but all the ones I’ve seen don’t offer multi-focals (like you, I’m old). I’ll be checking this lot out.

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:13 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      I so love the tea bowls, Amanda. I’ve decided if I ever need to send a huge bunch of flowers, I’ll think about sending one of these instead. Same money, longer lasting gift! The specs are cool! :)

      
      
24. on September 1, 2015 at 9:22 am lizzygoodthings

    Celia, your glasses are fab, darling…. how do they know your prescription? Love the bowl with the sweet little turtle in the base… the doughnuts look delicious… I made some too at the weekend and plan to perfect the recipe before writing about it. Your little biscuits look tasty too. I bet your mum loves them! Peter and I were so delighted that the basket was a help, truly, it was the least we could do from afar. xxxx

    I love everything in your kitchen this month, Celia. The celadon tea cups are beautiful. And what a gorgeous basket of goodies from the very generous bizzylizzy. I love the sound of the pasture-raised chook – I tried clicking on the link from your Hainanese chicken post to see if they are available in Qld but either the link is broken or Beth’s website is down. And thanks for the great heads-up about the cheap glasses!

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:16 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Chris, sorry you can’t get hold of Beth’s chooks, they really are the bomb. I hope you find something just as good in Qld! x

      
      
27. on September 1, 2015 at 9:53 am Gretchen

    I love the tea bowl, gorgeous. The biscuit and donuts are great. I still say someday I’ll make donuts and bagels too. I’ll get my post up tomorrow hopefully, one of the items would be great for bagels!

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:17 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Gretchen, the bagels take a bit of work, but the doughnuts are really very easy. I think your boys would love them!!

      
      
28. on September 1, 2015 at 9:58 am Kim Bultman

    Celia, I’m glad you’re feeling sufficiently taken care of (as you SO well deserve!) It’s amazing how brief the turnaround time is before you’re off and taking care of others as a result! (Most notably that huge batch of spritz cookies for your Mum — bet she loved ’em and your kitchen thoughtfulness!) Sometimes all it takes is a boost from the folks who love and support you — that’s what IMK has meant to me. xo! (Sept. post link coming soon… possibly even ahead o’ here, woohoo!)

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:17 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Happy September lovely Kim! It’s always a special joy to peek into your kitchen, you know that, right? :)

      
      
      • on September 16, 2015 at 7:48 am Kim Bultman

        Yes ma’am! ;) (And thank you.) I’m just now getting ’round to September IMK commenting (better late than never) and I love peeking into everybody else’s kitchens, too. You’re an instigator of JOY, Celia! Thanks for all you do, xo.

30. on September 1, 2015 at 11:13 am Nancy |Plus Ate Six

    I’m not surprised you had a little help from your friends in devouring the donuts – I would have been first in the queue.
    Your glasses are an absolute bargain – Mum told be her progressives cost her $800 so I took her to the glasses market here and she had a pair made for $100. Why are they so expensive in Australia?
    Fennel tea? I like T2’s Licorice Tea I imagine it’s not too far off in flavour?
    My post is up https://www.plusatesix.com/2015/09/in-my-kitchen-september-2015/

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:18 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Nancy, I can’t drink licorice tea – it gets too sweet for me. The fennel tea isn’t sweet at all. I really have no idea why specs are so exy here, $100 is amazingly cheap!

      
      
31. on September 1, 2015 at 11:47 am Francesca

    Glad to hear that the big batch of doughnuts was shared.Soup n the Romertopf – must give that a go. I also like those little bowls/teacups: hard to resist little teacups, one of life’s small pleasures.

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:19 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Fra, it’s a big tea cup – it probably holds 250ml? Lovely and rounded, for cupping with both hands! :)

      
      
32. on September 1, 2015 at 2:44 pm EllaDee

    The specs got my attention too. I’m not ready yet for another pair yet but I was wondering about buying them online.
    Mmm duck curry and donuts… could not be more tempting, and the soup simply looks wonderful and nourishing. Amazing colourful delicious IMK month :)

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:20 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Thanks lovely ED! The specs are great fun to choose! I’m a bit partial to duck curry… :)

      
      
33. on September 1, 2015 at 2:47 pm Shari from GoodFoodWeek

    That cup is just beautiful – so much effort has gone into that craftsmanship. And what a beautiful and bountiful basket from Liz. Here is my post to link up: http://goodfoodweek.com.au/2015/09/life-whats-in-my-kitchen-4/ {I’ve just moved from Blogger to WordPress and I couldn’t be happier with the end product}.

    I hope you and yours are doing OK lovely, comfort food is exactly what’s neededjust now. Your goodies look great, especially those donuts. I bought a donut maker the other day but haven’t figured out how to use it yet :) xo

35. on September 1, 2015 at 7:35 pm Anne Wheaton

    Maybe I should have tried an online trying on glasses instead of rushing into the opticians to pick the cheapest I could find, which on reflection have just the merest hint of Dame Edna about them!

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:21 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      I can just see you in cats-eye glasses. Maybe you could IG a photo for us? :)

      
      
36. on September 1, 2015 at 7:53 pm fergie51

    The subtle tone of those cups and craftmanship is beautiful. Feel relaxed just looking at them. Don’t you just love how much better ethically raised poultry looks let alone tastes! Oh those cookies, (somewhere I have a cookie press just waiting to be unleashed) lots of love gone into those for your mum. Doughnuts, mmmm. Do yours keep well? I find if not eaten soon after making they go stodge. Cute glasses, It’s a great site isn’t it? Hardest bit for me is finding a photo I feel is acceptable. :)

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:22 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

        Celia, I was impressed with Zenni, too! My prior glasses — fancy schmancy frames, etc. & “mega-bucks” at the optometrist’s office — ended up at the bottom of our lake: http://alittlelunch.com/2013/06/27/sailing-sailing-and-a-boating-accident/ (There’s always a story, lol…) Zenni provided an affordable solution (a couple of years ago) but I still LOVE ‘EM!!! Remind me to order another “fun” pair soon — although I recently passed my driver’s license renewal and DON’T NEED GLASSES. (Woohoo!) However, I still like the “look” — and you look DIVINE in yours! xo :)

    Hi Celia,
    Remember me from the WLDG Sunday chats quite some time ago? Next two weeks (8-17 Sept) I’ll be in Melbourne for a conference and some winery visits. You don’t happen to be there at that time? If so we should meet! Not much chance, I realize, but I felt I should ask.
    cheers,
    Anders Källberg, Sweden,

    
    
    • on September 2, 2015 at 4:59 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Anders, how good to hear from you!! How have you been? I’m so sorry, but won’t be in Melbourne, bit too much happening here with Small Man’s end of school exams. Hope you’ve been well though! xx

      
      
      • on September 2, 2015 at 4:00 pm yquemisno1

        Celia, too bad we will not be able to meet, but it was a far shot. I might come back in a couple of years with my wife, who could not join me on this trip. If so we’ll have to arrange a meeting, hopefully also with DLo. All’s fine with me here. One grandchild, soon three years old, who is the sweetest girl on earth! ;-)

    That is a beautiful mug – i love the colors and the little turtle inside is adorable. I had one very similar to that but alas, it met with the tile floor :(
    I’m so glad that you’re surrounding by so many beautiful flowers and comfort food. It makes me happy that you are surrounding by such caring and loving friends.
    Looking good in those new specs Celia! I’d heard about this website where you can try glasses on & I’ll have to check it out. I’m way overdue for a new look although at least my prescription for lenses hasn’t changed.

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:24 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Di, I was desperate for a spare pair of glasses, it’s good to have one now. I’m wearing the “spares” more than the original $700 pair! :)

      
      
48. on September 2, 2015 at 5:48 am Maggie

    You always have such gorgeous things in your kitchen, Celia! I am quite jealous! I love the cup and that Thai red duck curry looks divine. Duck was one of my favourite foods to eat out in Korea. I will need to find a good duck restaurant here in Ireland now.

    Your kitchen is vibrant and full of goodness as always Celia. I can only imagine that your Mum would have loved those biscuits…home-made biscuits just make the world feel better don’t they? You have reminded me that I need to make your bagels again. Soup, curry and donuts…I will have a serve of each please!

    Thank you for hosting our kitchens Celia. Sending you love, good wishes and happy baking x (my post is linked)

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:26 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Jane, I thought of you as I was making those bagels – on my own, in the kitchen at the crack of dawn. I couldn’t decide if I preferred the peace and quiet, or whether I should wake up another pair of helping hands. In the end, I stuck with the quiet. :)

    Lots of wonderful things Celia – a basket of fruit and veg is a wonderful thing when times are hard aren’t they – I had a friend send me one and it was a godsend. Love, love, love the idea of being able to see yourself trying on glasses – I wear glasses too and find it hard to see properly when trying on hundreds in a shop!! Genius!!
    Here’s my IMK post – thanks again for doing this great, fun series :) Jan x

52. on September 2, 2015 at 2:57 pm hotlyspiced

    There sure is a lot of baking and cooking going on in your kitchen, Celia. I do love the cup with the turtle at the bottom of it – so cute. And that duck curry looks really good. I love the homemade bagels and your breakfast with all the mushrooms looks amazing. And that basket of fruit from Pete and Lizzy is stunning xx

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:27 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Hi lovely, hope you’re well! I’m very smitten with my turtle cup!

    I’m glad you’ve had kind thoughts through flowers and fruit/vegetables – all look amazing. The top cup/ bowl is gorgeous and the biscuits your Mum likes deserve to be her favourite!

    I like that the basket has bitter melon :) love bitter melon but hubby refuses to eat it.

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:28 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      I confess to passing the bitter melon to Mum. I don’t know how to cook it, but I don’t mind eating it, although Pete’s not a fan! :)

    Hi Celia. If you’re after another pair of cheap glasses you should check out Dresden on south King St in Newtown. $50/pair! I must say that a friend owns the shop so I am biased :-)

56. on September 2, 2015 at 11:00 pm Judy @Savoring Today

    Oh what a soul soothing collection to have in your kitchen. You can sip your tea while admiring the bouquets and dream about chocolate cookies. Just about that time, you can savor a bowl of soup or curry to let all the blessings settle deep into your bones before reaching over and popping one of the donuts on your plate to linger in dessert. Then, it would be about time for more tea …

    
    
    • on September 6, 2015 at 11:30 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Judy, you describe it so well. I’d quite like life to be like that! :)

    Hi Celia! That tea bowl is divine. I love beautiful tea cups… something about them makes the tea a real occasion. I’m loving the look of the sourdough bagels and the doughnuts… lots of yumminess there, although there always seems to be something delicious happening in your kitchen.

    The fruit and the flowers look beautiful. Happy start of Spring to you dear! x

    Love the 65 donuts eaten in a day! I’ve really enjoyed making my own filled donuts in the past but after the second batch is frying I start getting all bored and impatient (and eating the previous batch as a boredom reliever). I love those Steve Sheridan bowls! Here’s my entry for this month: http://www.veganopoulous.com/2015/09/05/in-my-kitchen-september-2015/
