The sky's gone a funny colour and there's water falling!

TheCatWoman

I'd almost forgotten how restful a grey sky is to my eyes, the garden's perking up a bit and my water butt is almost refilled.

I stayed in and made High Dumpsey Dearie Jam and planned some new dishes for autumn, mostly food from the Levant, which I love so much.

Now it's cooled down and I'm sleeping a bit better, my brain has started to work again and I'm not walking around in a constant fog.

What have you been up to this soggy saturday?

  • Some housework, played my game a bit, did a bit of reading. Enjoyed seeing the rain on the window and the tree outside being blown about in the wind. Hopefully "crazy season" is nearly over and people will start calming down this coming week as schools reopen.

    What is food from the Levant, by the way?

    The Levant is another name for the countries in the near east bordering the med. In this case I've got Yottam Ottalengi and Sami Tamimam's book, Jeruslaem. Jerusalem being such a melting pot it has food from all over the regions, Israeli, Palestinian, Syrian, Lebanese and a few others, its a fragrant cuisine full of mild spices and herbs, lots of fresh fruit, veg, pulses, yogurt and meat and fish, Its not just hummus and felafel in pitta bread.
