Remember back when the Celia from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial started her In My Kitchen series and folks from around the world were joining in? I said I didn’t think I could participate because I never had anything much in my kitchen that was new. This month you might agree with me.
“Or something,” he said, looking over his glasses. “WHERE are you going to keep all this crap stuff?”
I still think it’s cute.
I don’t normally use a package but we’re going to eat this and offer our apologies to celebrity cook, Marion Grasby. We’ll sing her praises as we eat her Malaysian curry with chicken. You can see all Marion’s recipes from her TV show on Lifestyle Food.
The jam is spicy and sweet and full of flavour. I thought I’d have a play with it and mixed some of this chilli jam with some fig jam and served it with cheese. I was pleased with myself. Rob thought it was too spicy (he doesn’t eat anything spicy but at 92, who does?), John didn’t think it was spicy enough. I’m Goldilocks and I thought it was just right. I also served it with some fried chicken and all thumbs up.
Jeremy makes 3 heat levels of his chilli jam and I got the mild. He’s in the very early days and only produces a few products but I think he’s got a wonderful future.
Enter the Whirley Pop. It’s so light that the directions say not to use it on high heat or the metal will melt. I kid you not. Any thinner and I’d be making popcorn on aluminum foil. You can only use it on medium heat but it works just fine. I’ll make something for you soon.
And that’s it for what’s going on at my house in the kitchen. As I wrote this I remembered I had two other things in my kitchen but I’ll save them just in case I have nothing in my kitchen in October. I will have tomatoes in my kitchen in October. My nifty tomato plants are covered in tomatoes.
What’s in your kitchen? I’m dying to know. I have a case of EKE. Extreme Kitchen Envy. Every peek soothes my soul. 🙂 If you join in and I hope you do, please link to Celia’s blog Fig Jam and Lime Cordial and she’ll add you to the list.
