the busy kitchen of ours


i got one liter of grape juice from my parents. what a treasure it's from their own vines, which they have in their front yard. i could not stop myself from making grape jelly.


winter veggies, and yes some zucchini thrown together, sauteed and served on a pork chop. the pork is from my brothers farm. i'm very glad we are able to know the place where those pigs grew up and how they get treated and what they get fed. soon there is a new batch arriving at our house, the freezer is readied and has room.


do you remember us collecting the apples and bringing them to the cider mill...
here is our very sweet and a bit tart apple juice, we all love it. either cold or also hot and spiced, yum.
there has also been soup a lot these past dinners, fresh bread rolls and pasta with gorgonzola sauce (american's usually call that type of cheese blue cheese), wirz so called "english cabbage" with ham and white wine, o that is so very delicious. lots of potatoes lately, there will be a new delivery of potatoes and apples from the farmer today, i'm so much looking forward to more cooking, baking and just plain apples from a neighboring farmer, not having to rely on oranges ad bananas from other continents, but instead good fruit from the neighborhood.


and then my little busy helper, where ever there is work to be done, she is there working.
