In my kitchen sat my absolute favourite pie in whole wide universe…. lemon meringue. It had been a while since I had made it and Monkey Boy asked ever so nicely if I would. I didn’t want to disappoint, so made it, gave him a small slice, and packed him off to bed. This left me to admire a rather large slice of my own. Lemon meringue pie is one of those lick the bowl when your done kind of moments. Yep, it really is.
And I would have been crazy not to make one, as I had these fat gifted backyard lemons sitting on my kitchen table waiting to be loved.
A trial of a Pear and Ginger Slice. Amazingly enough I actually followed a recipe this time. It wasn’t bad, I would tweak it a little to cater more to my taste buds. But definitely not bad.
The last of my dad’s pumpkins. The orange of the flesh in these pumpkins has been amazing. Nothing like a super market bought one what so ever. I’m still thinking about my pumpkiny options.
My new mixer love arrived. Oh my sweet, sweet goodness how I love it! (Very, very nerdy post to come soon.)
In my kitchen, there has been quite a lot of my staple salad. I very rarely tire of eating kale… which is lucky, as there is quite a bit around at the moment.
and lastly, in my kitchen sits two new pans. I’m not usually one to buy new kitchen gadgets just for the sake of it, (despite desperately needing a new cooking pot- as I had burnt the crap out of one of my usuals.) Mr Chocolate wanted these, and if it had just been me, there is no way I would have got them. Thankfully I did though, as I am hooked. Cooked on low to medium, ceramic coating, no oil used, heats up really quickly, (and makes a perfect pancake!)
What’s been happening in your kitchen?

Brydie, I can’t WAIT to hear about your mixer! Excited to find out which one you finally went for! Your lemon meringue pie looks divine, and good to know you’re liking the neoflam cookware – we bought ceramic frypans this year as well, but they’re already all marked up! (Very non-stick though!). xxx

“Gifted backyard lemons”- it is always such a joy to hear of backyard lemons, Brydie. Here we have windfall apples, overloaded plum trees, and lots of blueberries to share- bur never lemons! Your pie looks delicious- and wasn’t Monkey Boy clever to ask so nicely!?

Ah see Heidi, I do love my lemons but “lots of blueberries”? Now that would be music to my ears. My poor little blueberry bush still struggles on, never ending with “lots” though.

I’m really enjoying getting into UK seasonal produce. I have a farmers market literally 2mins from my front door in London and I’ve been visiting every Saturday.
A few locals farms have stalls. Apples, pears, pumpkins, parsnips, carrot, celariac, plums and cob nuts. I’m just picking a few things up and experimenting.
The mixer post can’t possibly be nerdy enough…
