Afternoon Tea

I love Afternoon Tea. It is a cherished ritual. I had one of the best Afternoon Teas at Clark and Nadia's home this Sunday. It was beautifully conceived as you will see in the following slide show.

Ah, but it was not just the Afternoon Tea that made this day remarkable, we were among raconteurs and were given magical glimpses of Marrakech, Fes and the Sahara and were transported there with stories of Omar and other denizens of this mysterious land. And this is how midnight arrived so quickly.

Thank you Nadia and Clark. It was a pleasure to meet you Leah.

Lemon Curd

I have just made Lemon Curd for the first time. Mum made it at Christmas and New Years. It have always loved it. I just had to taste that memory today, so I made my first batch. It was just like the curd she made, but perhaps a little tarter (if that's a word).

Here is a link to the recipe I used:

And here is to you Mum.
