The seedlings are up and some are almost begging to be transplanted (still a few weeks to go though). A 7-foot deer fence has been procured along with a motion-sensor sprinkler to help deter those wild things who like to help themselves to our little patch. A garden hose needs to be re-routed, the ground around the spigot to be laid with stone. Oh, and seed potatoes will arrive soon too - a new crop for us!
Over the weekend I tried my hand at fish and chips with much success (after putting aside that fear of frying/astonishment at the use of such a quantity of oil), but made a mess of an intriguing brown soda bread recipe - why is it things so seemingly easy are sometimes the hardest? (I don't even want to talk about biscuits.)
I've also had eye on this dish for comfort and homeyness and this dish for crunch and healthiness.
What's on your list(s)?

It sounds like you have a case of what we here in Australia call "spring cleaning". Your little recipe took me by surprise - I don't think I will be cooking that one! The walnut and red cabbage dish looked divine. I do one rather similar actually and I just love the crunchiness, not to mention the whole thing gleams with health. I must add, that Mac And Cheez is the weirdest looking mac and cheese I have ever seen. It made me want to run away. Too confusing for me. If you do make it, I would be most curious as to what you think.
Your red scale is dreamy. And your little green sprouts? Ravishing! Congratulations.
It's definitely spring cleaning, Mariana - time to air out the place. I have to say, the cabbage dish was quite nice and full of healthy crunchiness; I'd like to hear your version. And I'll be sure to post about that vegan mac and cheez; it will be different for sure!
Thanks, Molly - I love that scale. It came from Anthropologie several years ago and has been a great help in the kitchen.
I'm excited about those sprouts - hopefully they'll transplant happily (fingers crossed)!
Very nice spring wreaths. I still have some little willow wreaths I made about 10 years ago, that I drag out every Christmas. It is amazing how long they last for.
Best Wishes,
Primrose in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Thanks, Primrose - and welcome! I love those little twiggy wreaths too.
My list was rather long, but I decided to cut it and simplify. Things are so much easier when one just starts again.
Autumn cleaning for me this week, and I'm planting out my winter veg seedlings. I love that you built a deer fence. One day, I'll have to biuld a roo fence, I hope!
