Recipe from Ghana

Last night I had a friend over for dinner. I made a dish that I sourced on the internet - Chicken stew with peanut sauce, apparently from Ghana. Oh my word, it was yummy. Served it with wild and brown rice. An all green salad - baby marrow, broccoli, asparagus, sugar snaps, peas, mint and red onion, with a homemade feta and garlic dressing. Some wine. Sat outside and waited for a cool breeze.

Wish upon a star

For 2013 I have made a wish for each star in my sign of the zodiac. That's only 5 wishes. I'm sure the universe can manage that :-)

Lemon tree oh so pretty and...

This morning I found a lemon tree in my garden that I had forgotten about. Hiding behind a mulberry tree and a giant rosemary bush. I was surprised to find it bearing fruit, 2 lemons, and it was full of buds. Transplanted it into a giant pot. It's a little sick, spiders I think, but we'll soon remedy that. It stands proudly on the patio now, in full sun.
