domestic sensualist: January 2012
http://www.domesticsensualist.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 24, 2012. I had been dutifully pinning rainbow cakes for some time, but was a little shocked to find that most of them called for a box cake (oh the horror! I guess that would make it slightly easier, but honestly, when a scratch cake is as easy as it is, why on earth settle for box? I found this recipe. 250 grams butter (i always used salted, but you can go with unsalted if you like). 1 cup of sugar (fill your 250ml measuring cup to the top, my metric friends). 1/2 C (120ml) milk. As i ...

Sunday, May 25, 2014. Tho' it's barely summer yet, we've already had some glorious weekend weather. the kind that makes you want grill and eat outdoors and only come inside when the dew is settling and a chill enters the air. and barbeque means a couple of our favorite condiments - nettle pesto and mojo. 1 colander full of fresh nettle leaves (if they've started to bloom, don't use them, as they may give you a bad tummy). 2 fat cloves of garlic. 1/4 C freshly-grated parmesan. Good quality olive oil.

http://www.domesticsensualist.com/2013/01/new-years-feast.html
Monday, January 7, 2013. There were mocktails for the kids - our friends selected a wide variety of fruit and juices (sparkling and non) that they could use to compose their cocktails in special, glowy glasses. the adults took a more traditional route - crisp gin and tonics, followed by a glass of champagne during the queen's speech and then a nice amarone with dinner. Even the non-oyster lovers enjoyed the bacon-topped deliciousness. the kids did too. 1 package of baby spinach leaves. Pile it all on a b...

Thursday, May 10, 2012. I can't count the times i've sworn at the patches of stinging nettle. Around our property (and they are many) as they stung my hands or my legs. but i won't be doing it anymore. not now that i've learned how wonderful nettles are to eat! They're also really good for you - with one of the highest protein contents in the plant world and loads of medicinal uses (which i won't go into here, as i'm no expert and haven't yet tried them). 100 grams toasted pine nuts. 2 cloves of garlic.

Baking for bunnies (and horses). 1/2 cup honey (from our own bees, of course). 1 cup graham flour. 1 cup plain white flour. 2 large carrots, grated. 1/3 cup sunflower seeds. Mix it all together in the mixer and add enough water to bring it to a thick cookie-type consistency (i'm not sure how much water i added, as i didn't measure that.maybe about a 1/2 cup). Our pets mean a lot to us, so it only makes sense to me to give them quality food, just like i would my family. Fluffy c...

Monday, September 26, 2011. Green hummus and a garden bounty pasta. With tomatoes and cucumbers as plentiful as they've been, we've tossed them together with feta or mozzarella and a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and some fresh, chopped parsley (it's been a good year for parsley with all of the rain we've had) or sometimes mint for salads nearly every night. 20-25 large broad bean pods (these may be called favas in the US or hestebønner. 1 big spoonful of tahini. Salt and freshly-ground pepper.
