I have a word document which is a series of urls. Recipes and crafty ideas that have taken my fancy and that I’ve not gotten  around to as yet. It’s a wonderful source of inspiration when I’m out of ideas. Today was one of those days. The end result was fantastic. The aroma of the cooking meal permeated through the house and brought all family members salivating to the kitchen. The flavours were every bit as good as the smell promised they would be. I had intended to include silverbeet but somewhat stupidly, I forgot.
