At this end of the globe, it's hard to imagine "so damned hot" but I know it happens, and will again here! How did you dress that salad?

Ha, what would we complain about if not the weather? The dressing was so simple, oil from the tuna can (chilli) and a squeeze of fresh lime, salt and pepper.

This ended up in the bin. It was a chickpea and vegetable curry I have made many times before. The whole thing smelled and tasted of capsicum which I detest. The only difference is I opened a new bag of chilli powder. I bought it from the Indian grocery in town and it was labeled “chilli powder extra hot (capsicum annum)”. It certainly was hot. Note, this is not a blended powder for beans and the like, but rather whole dried and ground chillies. Anyways, the rest of the 200g pack will be sprinkled on the herbs growing in the garden to deter critters. I have bought myself a bag of cayenne to replace it 😉

A favourite pasta dish with chicken sausage, anchovies, garlic and sampari tomatoes. Lots of basil and Parmesan to finish.

 

Yesterday I tried my hand at a no knead baguette and I reckon it turned out pretty well. 

 

Dinner was a pesto spinach and cheese lasagna from the freezer with said bread.
