At Home and Around

 

The sun has started shining again and it's warm enough to sit outside.  But it won't be for long. Next week temperatures are dropping drastically, so they say. From Spring back to winter. It ain't over yet. 



Granddaughter Luli 'enjoying' a winter swim inbetween her school and extracurricular studies.

She wants to be an interior designer and is learning technical drawing.


Finally using the airfryer!
We've had it a couple of months.
So simple to use but it took time to try out this new fangled machine. We learnt to 'fry' potatoes
and cook pork chops
I'm glad we bought the paper liners but it's an easy clean. 
Today we will cook half a chook. 
K loves 'fried potatoes' and his cheese and ham toasties done in the airfryer. 


Fresh broad beans for K. 
Cooked with onion, dill and olive oil
He eats them with a traditional garlic bread-sauce. 


More pickled onions
In the liquid vinegar and honey left in the emptied jar of  Xmas onions



Junior and Rusty have a personalised water bowl. 
It's an old clay yoghurt bowl. Sheep's yoghurt often comes in these clay pots. 
And my wee pottery lamb




Café Cat
This ginger cat entertains the gang of women-who-walk every morning as they finish their morning meet-up with coffee and hoots of laughter.
He prowls the heights balancing on the steel girders.  Looking for mice?  Or just applause.

  1. It’s that time of year. Changeable weather for all of us. It’s very annoying as you just can’t plan anything.
    Is that a jar of Vegemite I spy?

    1. My australian niece brought me the Vegemite. It has reduced salt and it's really good. Better than Marmite, but don't tell anyone I said that lol

    1. Yes, they're good, but.... I'm not overly enthusiastic . Another machine on my bench.

  3. I don't have a working conventional oven so use my air fryer nearly every day. It's great for almost everything I cook...and no fat!

  4. I bet that dip in the sea was a bit chilly. I don't have an air fryer but watched Jamie Oliver on how to use one. I think I could master it but am a bit attached to my oven.
