What do you do on a public holiday that's T minus 2 from a big market?
Make 20 jars of lemon marmalade that I was supposed to have made the day before.
Prepare scotch eggs for cooking, today.
I also made snoek pâté as well as - no pics - hummus and potted homemade cottage cheese.
As preparation for this winter fair, I have filled more than 24 pots with different things for Saturday.
Supper at the end of a long kitchen day and the coldest day of the year, a warming shakshuka with duck eggs, Cecil's peppers and a sourdough bun for The Husband.
Today will be another long one and a little nerve wracking: the weather god are threatening to rain on our parade.
Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
