Cheap peaches bought hopefully from South Melbourne market, too early in the season, and lacking proper pits, they disappointed, even though I knew they would. (Nonetheless, I still feel conned)
(New (city) sink = swoon)
This new place was, once, a proper worker's cottage, and, channeling some sort of old school vibe (man), I slice and chop on a butcher's block outside under the tin awning on warm nights; I feel it's a nod of sorts to the women who cooked outside over fire before electricity changed the world.
(Have I shown you my bird-and-bauble thing-y before? He never fails to make me smile)
And a quick radish salad, veg all our own, grown in the country, eaten in the city on a recent hot evening.
p.s. An Honest Kitchen, Seasonal Desserts is now available in print. It's beautiful. Just so you know...
It's nice to meet your new sink. :-)

How unfortunate about the peaches. I did get some cheap nectarines recently which were surprisingly good, though! Your bird ornament is adorable. :)

I bought some seconds peaches at the farmer's market at the weekend, they are superb! Love the bird and bauble.

Haven't been around for a while. Work and other stuff and bother has kept from simple pleasures. But then again, I appreciate them so much more when I have the time and space to again enjoy them. Mindfully. And peacefully. Thank you for the sink, the radish salad, the tin awning, the bird and bauble. And or course, your words. xx.
(PS. Congratulations on the print edition of "Seasonal Desserts.")
