Chill(i) time

Hot food for hot weather. 
My garden is giving me one chilli after another, so tonight I made a chickpea, paprika and chilli dish.

Melon balm

A bowl of melon with some lemon balm is rather sufficient for a hot summer day's lunch.

I got some really lovely melons straight from a farmer today, too.

Hungry!

I was very, very hungry by the time I got home tonight. So - pasta and beans it was! 
Of course I added a lot of garlic and some parmesan.
I do LOVE garlic!

Dvorak

I heard this when driving home and almost veered of the road - it's beauty always fills me with yearning for the Old World.

Not to mention that Prague is one of my all time favourites and not only because it's fabulous food and bakeries.

Bunch of peppermint

A bunch of peppermint or rather a bouquet…

Stringy beans make a lovely dish with walnuts and garlic. 

Cauliflower power

It is 23.00 and still 32C, warm, warm, warm.
So it is that for dinner a salad is more than sufficient.
Tonight it was a roasted cauliflower salad with lemon juice and garlic - absolutely lovely, even if it is just me saying so.

Oh, fig it!

The fig season is here!!!
Figs and natural yoghurt make a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
