Food Photo of the Day ~ Lime Pickle

I was a bit unsure where to categorize this post so I put it under a few, food photo of the day, random thoughts, and finds and favourites, if I haven't done so already. Myself, or rather, we quite enjoy lime pickle and Marks & Spencer make a fantastic one. This was the last jar we had and for awhile it was holding on for all it was worth and the other night it came to a culinary end. Poof! the lime pickle... finished. Lime pickle is not only enjoyed while we are eating curry or with poppadoms. I absolutely like making grilled cheese and lime pickle sandwiches! Which are quite tasty.    

Until we meet again... thanks for the delicious memories!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. This week is flying by, it is Wednesday already and before I can blink it will be Saturday. - JD

Tea at Fortnum and Mason

I remember reading about this book through the Fortnum's website. Thinking what a lovely little book, with classic British afternoon tea recipes and insightful information regarding tea.

The book is only 128 pages however deals with the art of the afternoon tea, high tea, and taking tea. The photos are so inviting and the 45 recipes give more than the traditional scones, delicate sandwiches, tarts and sponge cake. Making it easy to have a bit of Fortnum's at home. There are anecdotes, stories, and the history of tea to delight and entice the even regimented tea drinker.  

This is the hamper that our dear and wonderful friend sent us for our wedding, The English Essentials Hamper. With loads of delicious teas, preserves, condiments, chocolates and biscuits, all in a reusable wicker basket. And of course, the book, Tea at Fortnum and Mason. To find out more about Fortnum and Mason and the delicious items that await you click *HERE*  Enjoy! - JW
