My trip to the farmers market today was very autumnal. The leaves were bright, the air crisp…
The leaves were a little soggy from all the rain.
Damson Plums, first time trying them and they were incredible.
and the fruit and veg on offer was delicious!
I know were to pick up my fennel when I want to tick it off my list of foods I need to give another chance!
I picked up some gorgeous little apples and the smallest satsuma I’ve ever seen…all were delicious.
And some incredible plump golden sultanas!
I’ve always been a fall fan, as a kid my favourite holiday was Halloween. How could you not love dressing up, doing the rounds and eating a bucket load of sweets!
Now the fall season means so much more…
- Pumpkin eating time (even if it isn’t canned!)
- Figs are in season!
- Time to shop for boots and a new coat to keep out the chill
- Hat wearing time which means less hair washing!
- Not feeling guilty about getting in my PJs early as it’s perfectly acceptable when it’s dark outside at 7pm
- You get an extra hours sleep at the end of the month with the clocks going back!
- Finally another bank holiday weekend!
Dinner was a strange one for me this evening…
Roasted Cherry Tomato and Goats Cheese Spanish Omelette.
Strange because I never really eat eggs or potatoes. I decided to give the Spanish Omelette a go seen as the potato went down so well last night and sure why not take a huge leap outside of my comfortable box and give something else I’m not so keen on a whirl.
It was more than a little bit apprehensive about whether or not my taste buds were going to be happy…
they were delighted!
My perfect little pan for one produced a lovely little Spanish Omelet. Not strictly traditional but the main components were there. I opted out of flipping it and placed it under a preheated grill (broiler) once the bottom was solid and slightly browned. I was too hungry to take the risk!
The last of the spinach and rocket salad on the side completed the meal. Now I simply must attempt to get an early night!
