Being and Thyme: June 2007
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 June 2007. BBQ on my mind. Ah, England. Land of rainshowers that come out of nowhere, and random hailstorms. Land of thinking that summer has come, only to discover that you put away your coat to quickly when all of a sudden you are faced with three straight days of cold downpours. Sunshine is not anything to take for granted around here, so make the most of it when we can. It has been an ordeal, I tell you. Smoked mackerel dip (Graeme really needs to post the recipe for this, it's amazing).

Being and Thyme: October 2007
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 9 October 2007. Making food for the winter. Perhaps, but it's a worthwhile one, in my opinion. Of course, eating locally in Canada- especially in Quebec- can be extremely difficult. While the variety of vegetables available during the winter is rather limited in Britain (leek and potato soup, anyone? In any case, I was at the local market. Apple sauce is one of the easiest ways to preserve large quantities of apples, and if you store it correctly, it will keep for a long time. Links to this post.

Being and Thyme: Whole wheat pita bread
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007/05/whole-wheat-pita-bread.html
Tuesday, 22 May 2007. Whole wheat pita bread. I am always, always disappointed in supermarket pita bread. Even if you bite into your pita the moment you pick it up off the shelf at the store, it already tastes a couple of days old (and likely is! I spotted a recipe for pita bread a couple of months ago, tried to make it, and was disappointed when it came out dense and sort of gross and heavy. But I am not one to quit, and today I tried again. And it was glorious. 3/4 cup white flour. Pour the water into ...

Being and Thyme: Espresso, Banana, and Raspberry Muffins
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007/06/espresso-banana-and-raspberry-muffins.html
Friday, 1 June 2007. Espresso, Banana, and Raspberry Muffins. I have never been that into muffins- I generally feel like if I'm going to eat something junky and cakey, I'd rather eat cake. Or a cupcake, or whatever. Muffins just aren't tasty enough to merit living the lie that they are good for you. However, every blogger's favourite new cookbook, Heidi Swanson. S Super Natural Cooking. And they have coffee in them, which is the number one way to my heart! 2 tsp baking powder. 1 tblsp fine espresso powder.

Being and Thyme: May 2007
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 27 May 2007. Adventures at the Farmers' Market, Episode #3:. Here is a shot of our neighbours, the produce farmers:. I should mention that these folks are generally the nicest people ever, but they were particular in our good books yesterday, as the female farmer bounded up to us at the beginning of the market telling us that she'd bought a few of our bagels. And if I do say so myself, I make an awesome fucking bagel. Here is a shot of the tables directly across from us:. Talking about it afterwa...

Being and Thyme: Ode to the Sandwich, Part 2
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007/06/ode-to-sandwich-part-2.html
Sunday, 10 June 2007. Ode to the Sandwich, Part 2. Previously in this blog, Anna posted. The above sandwich was made last Saturday after our trip to the farmers' market. The sandwich is basically a BLT with fresh wholegrain bread, streaky bacon from the local butcher fried until crispy, some organic lettuce and tomato, mayonnaise, and some pickles from the Polish shop that just opened up down the street. We washed it down with glasses of cherry juice. I agree with you though.bread is the key!

Being and Thyme: Shakshuka
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007/05/shakshuka.html
Wednesday, 2 May 2007. Here's another recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi's 'The New Vegetarian' column. In the Guardian's weekend magazine. This is an aromatic North African dish and it seems to be a real 'kitchen sink' type of dish that a lot can be added to- Ottolenghi suggests preserved lemon or feta, but I think that even some meat like lamb, especially if it was tender and falling apart, would go really well with it. 189; tsp cumin seeds. 190ml light olive oil or vegetable oil. 4 tsp muscovado sugar.

Thursday, 23 August 2007. Apologies for the lack of posting on this blog for the past couple of months.

We will be in our new place soon enough though, so expect some proper updates in the next week or two. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Things we are craving right now:.
