With spring in the air and these glorious clear warming-up
days, I just want to stay home!
It’s such a waste of a good gardening day if you have to go
to town when the weather’s perfect.
The garden is calling me.
I think we ought to have our main school holidays at this time of year when you can really enjoy being outside without
getting fried to a frizzle.
It’s amazing what you can get done when you don’t scatter
your energy far and wide.
I’ve been like a turtle. Pulling my head in to think and
write and process all the creative stimulation my brain is trying to sift. It’s
kind of distracting having to think about the normal responsibilities, like
feeding people and venturing into a supermarket.
Here’s a quick meal
when you’d really rather be gardening. Or writing. Or practicing taking
photos….
A nifty tip for quick pumpkin soup when your pantry is bare.
Chop up an onion, crush some garlic, grate some ginger and
saute in a bit of oil.
Toss in a diced up pumpkin with some chicken stock and…..the
secret ingredient - a good dollop of
satay sauce (at least a third of a bottle) .
Whiz it up with a tin of coconut
cream and serve with toasted Turkish bread slathered in some pumpkin spice dip
that you might just happen to discover at the back of your fridge before the
use-by date
