the morning after Halloween we were greeted by a dusting of snow and still-falling flurries. breakfast looked like this (what I think may be the perfect breakfast, by the way, especially if you added in some garlicky greens) :
(the hard bargaining over nerds at lunchtime? now that I could do without, but since they were part of her few selected candies to keep before handing the rest over to the "candy goblin", well, I was game)
this past week has seen us drying apples, making sauce (the cider is still fermenting and smells, so far, what I think fermenting hard cider ought to smell like so I take that as a positive sign we didn't just waste five gallons of it)
also, a final salsa batch of the year from the last of the tomatillos.
there were some roasted vegetables,
stirring spices for a fragrant apple-raisin chutney,
enjoying Heidi's baked oatmeal again on cool mornings,
and slowly but steadily hauling in a few things here and there from the fall garden~
playing along, a final time, with Heather for her This Week in My Kitchen blog hop
Wow, snow already. Love the look of the apple raisin chutney.
ReplyDeleteand here we are now back to 60s during the days and 30s/40s/50s at night. oh, fall.
Deleteit is tasty! found it in a magazine years ago and this is the second time we've made it.
Looks pretty awesome!
ReplyDeletethanks Molly!
DeleteI'd like to create in the kitchen with a party hat :) I think you have some lovely food eating going on in your house!
ReplyDeleteshe had gone to a birthday party the day before and was determined to put that party hat to good use! :)
DeleteWhat I wouldn't give for some home grown carrots right now. Mine are still at the sprout stage. Carrots are so easy to grow but take so darn long!
ReplyDeleteyes! I think the trick is to just keep sowing them every few weeks all year long so there are always some growing. I'm gonna try that next year. I aimed to this year but only got 2 or 3 plantings in and they were small so the carrots have been little staggered harvests.
DeleteBaked oatmeal? Sounds delish....do you have a recipe that's your favorite??
ReplyDeleteI make the one from Heidi Swanson's book Super Natural Every Day, and often substitute whatever berries I have on hand. this time I had no bananas, so I used finely sliced apples. here is a similar recipe: http://food52.com/recipes/22622-heidi-swanson-s-baked-oatmeal
