In my kitchen…
…is a special cut-resistant glove, knitted from hollow yarn with a wire core. Every month, when the moon is at a particular point in the sky, I turn into a kitchen disaster. I cut myself, burn myself, and grate the tops of my fingers off. So I went into Chefs’ Warehouse and told them I needed a glove to wear, just for one week out of every four, which would stop me injuring myself. After the laughing had subsided, this is what they sold me…
In my kitchen…
…are treasured gifts from our friend Moo. Incredibly generous soul that he is, he arrived with a goodie bag the last time he was over from Adelaide. The items below are just a small sampling of his largesse…
In my kitchen…
…is Big Boy’s lunch – a large potato cake topped with smoked salmon and Italian mayonnaise. Potatoes and salmon are one of our favourite food combinations!
In my kitchen…
…are six bottles of Pete’s wonderful vanilla syrup, made using an aged bottle of homemade vanilla extract (March 08) that I uncovered in the bottom of the linen closet. The syrup is dotted with black seeds which you can’t quite discern from the photos (most have sunk to the bottom).
In my kitchen…
…are more pomegranates! I won these three from Not Quite Nigella. We juiced one of them, resulting in nearly a full cup of ruby coloured sweet juice.
So tell me, what’s happening in your kitchen this month?
