Traditional polenta from Bergamo.. I’m stirring it since 30 mins... I have other 20 ahead. Anyone has an arm to borrow?

My wife arrived home this evening with another cauliflower (amongst other things) which she had been given by her mate.

It looks like aloo ghobi tomorrow then.

I think this recent glut of cauliflowers is beginning to affect me.....

My wife has just returned with two more cauliflowers, a bag full of limes and a shed load of coriander!

And she's been to a funeral!

Pictures tomorrow.

What are Fenugreek Seeds?

What are Fenugreek Seeds?

Fenugreek Spice is available in two forms, crushed leaves and seeds. I have the leaves (green), but am still waiting on the seeds. Fenugreek is used in a lot of Indian foods along with Fennel, Cumin and other spices for Curries and Chutneys. I may use it in any number of ways, as my creativity suggests.

Gouda cheese

Gouda cheese

The organic farmers cheese I often mention is also Gouda, most cheeses we Dutch eat are Gouda style

We're having polenta later this week. That's 1 of the meals I'm hoping Craig can handle.

Do you know that I thought of you two while I was making my polenta? I know it's one of the Italian dishes you like and I really hope CraigC can handle it well

Anyway, traditional polenta bramata is definitely a great product, but I regretted the instant one for a moment, especially my arm which has yet to deflate

I really love Gouda cheese, I've tasted it in London and wow, every time I need to buy a piece to bring back in Italy - among the other cheeses.

Can also be bought as a dried ground 'powder':

The cauliflowers will probably go into a cauliflower cheese; the rest I don't know.

I stopped off at Woody's Shell Station and Smokehouse in Centerville on my way back from Houston. Got some boudin, peppered bacon, German sausage, beef sticks, and thick-cut beef jerky.

Teddy also got on in some snow.

My wife brought these mulberries home yesterday. I didn't know that mulberries were grown locally.
