The sun has been shining and the skies are so blue. I have been having breakfast on the back patio to sit in the early sun. Not something that we can do here in Brisbane most of the year - it is just too hot.
I made my breakfast and went back inside to get a napkin and something to read and found this bird trying to eat my food.

He just sat and stared at me and when I sat down just moved a little.

| Moved to the chair to wait for snacks |
The cats were too busy sun baking to worry about a bird on the table.

| The start of minestrone |
I used some left over speck, bacon rinds and end of the leg of ham from Christmas. Grand daughter G had to cut the end off the ham bone so that it would fit in the oven.

| Such a lovely lunch |
I stir a big spoonful of pesto through the soup and top with parmesan.
My flowers are lasting well because of the cooler weather.

| Cheap and cheerful |
I cooked pickled pigs trotters this week, and made them into a brawn. I remember pigs trotters from my childhood. I just love them.

| Lovely with a polish dill pickle |
My next food experiment is with quinces.
So that is what your brawn looks like. Hope it was good to eat.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't impressed. IF I make it again it will be a different recipe. The crows had the left overs - they love me.
