February

February is my favourite month of the year! In part it is because my birthday, which explains the deep connection to the month. February can be the hottest month of the year! In the northern hemisphere, it could be the coldest month of the year.

I love February for the thunder storms, balmy evenings, swims at the beach, snorkelling and going for long walks and games of tennis in the early evening.

I love February because the days are long and warm. It is also a great month to enjoy the beautiful summer fruits.

I purchased some wonderful vegetables this afternoon... french beans, string beans, carrots, lebanese cucumbers, lettuce, english spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, celery, shallots and mushrooms.

There were some lovely pink lady apples, granny smith apples and white peaches as well.

Has been a good day and I am looking forward to reading Gourmet Traveller so that I can cook up something wonderful!

Looking forward to cooking over the weekend! Am going to make some bircher muesli tomorrow. It is a rainy weekend which makes for slowing down much easier.
