Food, glorious food!

The last two months have been full of all sorts of delicious (often sweet...) foods. Below is a little round-up to make your mouth water.

A lovely friend in Nairobi managed to order these from Mabel's bakery and have them delivered!

Preparing a little breakfast for my big son

Stocking up on basics and more at the start of the lockdown

Friends brought so much to our porch this last month

The yummy savoury muffins that I have been perfecting week on week

Lining up outside our local No Frills: between 30-50 minutes of queuing but then none at the cash register

Homemade crab cakes

More kindness from friends

Savoury strudel

Trying to eat on the porch - fresh o.j. for some added sunshine

Healthy muffins made less so by the addition of homemade jam (no, not our home)

marinated salmon that got the thumbs up from Seb (who is now vegetarian but eating loads of fish)

Our afternoon tea/picnic with muffins, egg salad sandwiches, asiago cheese crackers

Prosecco and oj

More crabcakes (and more tulips!)

OK a store-bought coffee cake

Brunch on my own, pulled up by the fireplace

The inimitable Mary-Margaret repeated her gorgeous rosewater and pistachio cake for us

Rhubarb - just rhubarb (and a little sugar)

Bagels and berries and muffins - oh my!

pizza

Faux Thai

The best jam this year! Sophie and I bought this on the way back from Kingston last year. Back roads = a tasty road trip

Frittata and loaf (which loaf was this again?)

Inspiration!

Just want to clarify that there was only one left when the lockdown started...

And yes, some of this

Scrambled eggs made fancy

Simple but solid meals happen too

Sometimes we don't have the correct ingredients, so we improvise (no chocolate chips? just smash up old Easter eggs!)

Leftovers!

There is always bagel and lox if I am lucky

We probably sit down to more meals together than recent months - no evening gymnastics or ballet or late work etc.
