SWEETPEAS & LETTUCE

I have such good intentions of posting everyday but I am finding that with all this good weather I am spending much more time outside and less inside cooking, complaints coming from the family about that lack of baking lately. I will get back into it as I have lots more community cook books that I want to try things out of, also have the new Jo Seagar book which looks great lovely photos!.

The garden is really growing fast, I picked the first of the sweetpeas today and of course I just had to photograph them....too bad you can't smell them as they just smell divine! I have also been strugling to use all the lettuce I am producing so I picked a pile, washed it and took it to work where it was snapped up.

I have not really been doing much baking at all in the past few weeks but there is yet another birthday cake to make for the weekend (playboy bunny). I have been to a few barbecue's lately and at both the request has been for a Curried Roast Veg and Cous Cous salad that I make. I have to say that there is never any left. I tend to make the cous cous and curry mix at night, put it in the fridge and just roast the veges in the morning add and chill before taking out. This is just a habit I have got into however you can make it all at once and I have done that before as well. I do think the flavour develops better if done the night before. If anyone is interested in the recipe if you let me know I will add it to the blog, just need to fly out the door to town now.......byeeeeeeeee
