Wow, that went fast! One minute I was working myself silly with freelance work coming out of my ears, the next minute Tony and I were holidaying in Darwin (in the northern tropics of Australia) and now I'm back here at my desk with a list of things to do so long I could write a novel with it.
Luckily I'd prepared a guest post for Liz, the girl behind the very cool sustainable living blog I Spy Plum Pie, before everything caught up with me!
On Liz's blog today you will find the recipe for a very simple and traditional dish, Fava (yellow split pea puree) and a little bit about my favourite Greek island, Limnos.
I Spy Plum Pie features inspiring stories about Liz's journey towards living as sustainably and happily as possible, as well as lots of great vegetarian recipes, eco-living resources and reviews, and a very interesting insight into living in the house where they film the popular Australian television series, Offspring.
And now I must go back to the task of slashing through the jungle that I call my to-do list so I can free up some time to start blogging properly again!
I will see you in a few days with the all-important results of my home-made filo pastry adventures!
PS! I almost forgot, I'm linking this post up with Veggie Mama's Meatless Mondays this week where there's always a plethora of great vegetarian recipes and ideas.
Oh this sounds and looks lovely! Will pop on over and check out your guest post :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Christie! It is a lovely dish to cheer up the winter blues!
Deletei missed you lady! can't wait to see your fava bean post!
ReplyDeleteI've missed blogging, but not this cold weather that we've come back to! Going from tropical to freezing temperatures is HARD!
DeleteFava is delicious. I haven't made it in a long time but I will go and have a look at your guest post to remind me how to make it!
ReplyDeleteHope it inspires you to make it again Jenny. You're right, fava is totally delicious!

ReplyDeleteFava sounds very delicious and healthy, love it with a lot of lemon juice.
We did have a lovely time Mina. The weather was almost like Greek summer! I love my fava with a generous squeeze of lemon juice too :)

DeleteGoing to check out your recipe now! I know the feeling of being so busy after taking time off--it feels good to have a break, but you pay for it when you get back!
ReplyDeleteThat's so true. And I'm still paying for it!!

ReplyDeleteYes, it has that kind of effect on people :)
