Sushi

I decided to try making my own sushi today, I thought I'd start by making a vegtable sushi roll, as this seemed easiest for a beginner. This was my first attempt, which was all falling apart and too sticky.

So I then tried again, using less rice and vegtables. Which seemed to work much better.

But I cooked far too much rice and am now so full from eating way too much of the stuff!! But I've definitely learnt alot from my first few attempts! Cook less rice and use less rice and filling, so the the roll is kept small and tight. I'm going to try again tomorrow though as it tasted really nice despite the poor execution!

Wild Strawberries

The weather is so nice at the moment, I feel it's lending a helping hand to my wild strawberries, as they are now starting to really develop.



The only way I can think to describe them, is that they are like a condensed regular strawberry. It's like a burst of all that flavour in a tiny bite.
See how tiny they are!

Full to the brim!

I had an amazing lunch at a gastropub in Barford today. I had taken my camera with me, but when it came to it I was far too wussy to get it out and take any pictures! Everything was so well presented as well! I should have asked them if it was ok to take photos, but like I said, wussy! The link to the pubs website. http://www.granvillebarford.co.uk/index.php

Just to make you jealous, what I had - Pear, walnut & stilton salad with maple syrup dressing. Fillet of seabass on a bed of white truffle & basil pasta with a sweet pepper sauce. And a vanilla cheesecake with blackberry jelly.

It was all so good and I was stuffed, I would definitley recommend the pub, the food and service were excellent.

Perfect Space

While looking for images for inspiration, I found this picture. I love the colours and symmetry but also the art deco style. I'd definitely like my home to look like this one day.

Yesterday

It was such a nice day yesterday, I went to Warwick. I looked around the market, antique and gift shops.
The entrance to a church and a georgian doorway, snapped while walking around.



Had lunch at The Tilted Wig pub, an open ciabatta sandwich with brie, roasted veg and red onion. Yum!


View at lunch, from the pub out onto the market.


I bought this necklace from an antiques shop. I couldn't resist it as I thought it was so unusual. The pendant is a claw gripping onto a brown coloured, round stone.


I also bought some cupcakes from the market, but they were gone before I had chance to take a photograph!

Todays yield

Maybe I need to find a new subject....

.....to photograph, but I am obsessed with my stawberries!


My cat decided to sneek in on the strawberry action!
