More chilli

This meal was inspired by Natalia Ravida's book "Seasons of Sicily". 
This book is very close to my heart, just as Sicily is.

It is pasta with chilli, tomato and almond pesto. Very simple, very tasty.

Tonino Carotone's music goes well with this dish.

Chilli chicks

Chilli chickpeas with carrot and orange salad are a real treat on a warm summer night. 
We dining out most nights now i.e. out in the back due to the weather.

I find that Raasuk Mashrou3 does very good music to accompany this kind of a meal.

Strawberry morning

I guess the reason for my blogging hiatus is obvious on this picture.

Namely this strawberry granita and ricotta cum biscotti breakfast is for two - my husband is back from Kazakhstan for a while.

Kazakh horses.

Green, green

Avocados a nice in every which way. This time they are nice as an avocado-tomato salad.

I guess people have different tastes but we loved our years living in tropics. The smells and tastes and the easy going being are something that stay with you.

This was near Cairns, QLD.

Pears among peers

This time it is fennel and mustard that make this pear salad good.

I don't think that there is anything sweeter than this

Rather unbelievable isn't it?

Green

I missed a blog on Saturday as I was on a rodeo in York, WA. It was a real nice one.

Here is one of my favourites that makes my husband green around the gills - an avocado milk shake.

Variation on bean theme

Beans seem to be my guiding light and lodestar at the moment.
So, here comes an other bean instalment.
