Now in Morocco, where we had an iffy start but things are improving. Today we were in Chefchouane, the Blue town

A few more pics from today, the old Roman site on an Iron age site not far from Ronda. What a place.

Oh God yes ! Christmas in Italy, Germany and Spain has been a joy over the last few years, a holiday, not overdone, not weeks of consumer frenzy, but a day kept in proportion. I do think that everyone should experience December in another county, not the US, to see how badly we have it wrong at...

Exactly, it gives a body and a pleasant mouth feel, its worth putting in any soup which can be a bit watery, so no need in say curried swede and lentil, but fresh pea or carrot or celery can benefit from it.

I have said this before, you need to go to a big shop that carries lots of different makes. Get a shop assistant to load up sacks heavy and walk around. Buy the one that feels best. it is the only foolproof way, other than investing in a Kifaru, which are insanely heavy but gloriously comfy...

Mushy peas and a pie, or with fish and chips, or ham hock, mmmmmm just add mint sauce or HP. Food of the Gods !

ALERT sprouts are like all brassicas. They MUST be cooked one of two ways. Either gently steamed in minimal water, then tossed with salt pepper butter and lemon juice OR ……and this may change your life…..stir fried over a hot as hell heat. All brassicas good, sprouts stunning like this. Use lard...

Have you tried organic cucumber ? It is way less acidic.

There is something about wild perch……

So, a quick trip to Italy, sadly our workaway ( a host we stayed with in January and got on really well with ) did not go well, so baled out go a hotel in the local city prior to a new workaway tomorro. Savone is a new one for us, yet is the capital of a large region. it has a fine cathedral...
