finds!

Sometimes I like to share my finds local and global, heart warming and thought provoking.

Juicy kitchen!

My favorite lunch hide out!

 Props to juicy kitchen for the grilled Caesar

Cream of watercress

Cream of Watercress Soup

Take the time to make the lemon cream.  So sumptuously delicious.

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun...

It looks like this outside. Ugh. 

 

Needing some sunshine, I turn to the meyer lemon, 

a cross between a seville orange and a standard lemon.

Meyer lemons, salted with kosher, squished into the jar so that they're covered in their own juices. Stashed in the fridge.

 

These will be preserved in 3-4 weeks, just about the same time the sun actually starts to make a regular appearance. Typically I've quartered lemons for the preservation, but I wanted to try them sliced this time.  Updates in a month!

Toad in the hole!!!

Thanks to Jamie Oliver for this recipe for "Toad in the hole".
