FRUITS IN THE HIMALAYAS…& PEACH-ROSEMARY JAM RECIPE
“Thought is the blossom,language the bud,action the fruit behind.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Here’s a little more about our recent trip into the hills, the adventurous beginning of which you can read about in my first post here. This second post is a bit of a fruity one; well mostly anyway. Ramgarh is a serene hill station in the Himalayas, perched at an altitude of about 1800 m above the sea level. It is quite the idyllic place for offbeat leisurely holidays in peace and tranquility, & is known for its fruit orchards and wonderful views of the Himalayas. On clear days you can see the snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas…

BALSAMIC & HERB LAMB CHOPS, FRENCH FOUGASSE…& PEACH & MIXED FRUIT CRUMBLES!
“Talk of joy: there may be things better than beef stew and baked potatoes and home-made bread – there may be.” David Grayson We had a good meal … it was yummy. I was in a mood to cook LOTS, & the lad joined in with his requests! At the meat shop yesterday, while I was trying to find direction in what to buy, he requested for lamb chops … “like you had made earlier Mama”, he said, “and the ‘French fries’ too!” Those refer to Greek Roasted Potatoes that I often make from Kalofagas. I sometimes do a variation on them … an addition of lots of garlic, &…

A PARTY FOR A POPPET…FRUIT GALETTE TARTS
“Sing a song of Birthdays Full of fun and cheer, And may you keep on having them For many a happy year.” Author Unknown Sitting waiting for the cream to come by…yum yum yum!! All dressed up for the party… it’s the BIG 1 !! The head was dizzy with a heady mix of poppet, party & France. An eclectic mix of thoughts, while enjoying the delectable success of my rustic Peach & Plum Galette , set me thinking. Had to make something for Dhhangit’s sweet little poppet, Mayumi, who is about to turn 1. Dhhangit has the cutest little baby girl, & this loving Mum has called out a…

ADDICTED TO FOOD BLOGGA’S ADDICTION…A BEAUTIFUL PEACH & PLUM GALETTE!
“We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink…” Epicurus Galette a la Plums & Peaches! If someone said to me that they made a galette, I would just nod & get on my way, maybe wouldn’t even bat an eyelid! Never heard of something like that before (seriously I haven’t, even if that means you think I live under a rock!). Now if someone showed me a picture of a galette they baked, & if that someone had the word addiction in the blog post, & if that someone was the ever so talented Food Blogga gal, it would grab…
