Breakfast X 2
Spanish Tortilla – Potato Omelette Buttermilk Biscuits with Cheddar, Chives and Dill Yesterday I made a late breakfast, late enough to be called brunch. A Spanish Tortilla .

Leaf Crust Hand Cut When I think spring, I think Rhubarb. I always look forward to the first rhubarb of the season. This is my favourite pie. And I’m a purist. No strawberries or other fruit in my rhubarb pie, thank you very much. I’ve tried many recipes over the years, but stopped looking after…
Potato Leek Soup and Sour dough French Baguette
Today was a “bake” day. Sour dough French Baguettes and a couple of small rounds. Just before the last loaf of bread came out of the oven, I put a pot of Potato Leek soup on to simmer. This soup is another dish that I don’t measure for exactly.Simple instructions for a Leek and Potato…
