My wooden kitchen spoon is happiest when she is taken in hand and used to help make something lovely. She enjoys baking best of all, especially if she is making dark chocolate brownie cupcakes!
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 12th of March is "smiling spoons". At first I despaired as I had no idea how to try and capture my smile in the reflection of a silver spoon. Then it struck me! Why not use some left-over bits of craft paper to make a pair of eyes and a smiling pair of lips? I hope you like my idea for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
The onions sit atop one of my favourite recipes from when I was eating meat and seafood. Prawn curry...yummy! Must make do without now!

WISHING EVERYONE A FABULOUS MONTH OF JULY
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments❤️
We were given this packet of delicious St.Michel Galettes biscuits by a friend along with a small book on ideas of what to use them for. Some very interesting ideas too, but the writing is so small, we'll need a magnifying glass to read the recipes. 😟
Yes, I know the background is the same as yesterday's photo, sorry only place inside that gives me a decent result for this sort of photo!

That is just daft and very wasteful. 😟
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Well, my good wife is going to be baking something and whatever it is I just know that it will be lovely ... she had been looking through one of her recipe books and I just thought that's going to be my 365, for today!!
Why, because it is another horrible weather day and I haven't ventured out, today ... cold and rainy and it got dark just after 3pm!!

This week the Flickr Friday theme is "stacked”, and one of my close friends who also enjoys cooking, inspired me to create this stack of recipe books.
It is not unusual when I have guests coming over that I will plan a three, four or five course luncheon or dinner that can be enjoyed over several hours. Therefore in the planning stages of such an event, it is not unusual to find a stack of recipe books like this on my kitchen bench, many of which are tagged with Post-It Notes or scraps of paper to mark favourite recipes.
She is just so funny, no matter what I am doing she has to be with me... I was just trying different set-ups and she just plops herself down and looks at me with her adorable little face.... like put the camera down and play with me already, you probaby got the shot in the first 5 frames....
The cook book is the star of this scene. It was given to me by one of my grandmother's oldest friends before she passed away. She knew I loved her cooking so she made sure I had her favourite, very well used cookbook.
My good wife had been looking for a recipe and was "trawling" through some of her recipe books in an attempt to find it! Well, it had been raining on and off and I wasn't too keen in going out for a walk and noticed her books sitting in the kitchen!!
Well, I thought that could be different and therefore this is my 366 for today!!

After all these years, I have finally started transferring all my recipes into a "proper" binder. I know it's strange, but I actually felt sad parting with all the vanilla-stained scraps of paper I've relied on for so long...
Yesterday being Memorial Day of course left me thinking about, among other people, my grandfather, a veteran of WWII and Korea. Thinking about Grandpa Shorty meant also thinking about Grandma Sally! She was a marvellous cook and baker, and I am happy to have one of her old recipe books, in her graceful handwriting and splattered with food.
Who would have such a gift any other way?
(That bookmark is Grandpa's, in his handwriting, and he was obviously a fan of her meatloaf!)
Thankfully, I did burn a load of calories this morning at my Spin Class but this afternoon it has been a lazy old time as I can't get out for my walk, as it has been pouring down with rain since lunchtime!
So, indoor photos today and I grabbed this photo of a recipe book my wife had been browsing through and now I'm looking forward to whatever she has been baking!!

Family recipe album project and photos by Kelli Taylor. Kolo Newport photo album.
George Bernard Shaw said, "There is no love sincerer than the love of food."
But Kelli Taylor's family must've felt sincerely loved when they saw this photo album she made. Sincerely loved like homemade chocolate ice cream and lemonade. It's not just a family recipe book -- it includes photos of the people who love those recipes.
Kelli Taylor: "I think a family recipe photo album is something that will get passed down, so using an archival-quality album and photo mounts was important. I like that the Kolo Newport has cloth-hinged pages. And that the pages are scrapbook style, so I have unlimited layout options, 'cause I wanted to create spreads with photos and recipes of different sizes."
Kelli Taylor is a photographer who resides in the Windy City. More here:

From my 3:00 AM photo series that I shot while staying with my Wife in a rented, secluded cabin in the woods in Centre County Pennsylvania during the weekend following Thanksgiving of 2015.

#3 daughter says, Mum, why do you use recipe books when you've got the internet? - but recipe books are historical artefacts and I love them, especially the one above which I mislaid but have now found!
My last photo shoot for the recipe book project that I am working on! Lots of editing left; adding the recipes, family photos, etc., but it is coming together.

Our grandson, Joshua, is with us this evening so my wife is making him a homemade burger for his dinner! I'm not sure if I'm also having one but I thought I would just check the recipe to make sure she has enough ingredients 😉

A rather stylish cover to the Pyrex Modern Cookery Book issued c1927 to sell the range of kitchen and ovenware to the housewife. By the late 1920s there was more of a move towards more of the burden of such domestic duties such as cooking falling on a greater number of 'middle class' women as the employment of domestic servants continued to tail off and in some respects the contents almost hint at 'cookery for beginners'.
Pyrex was possibly the best known of the borosilicate glasses that had been developed in the early 20th Century, initially in Germany. The experiments were picked up by the American company the Corning Glass Works and by 1915 they were marketing 'Pyrex' products. Back in the UK the Sunderland based glass manufacturers James A Jobling, at the Wear Flint Glass Works, at a time of general trade depression were canny enough to obtain the UK rights to Pyrex from Corning. It became their salvation as the glasswear proved very popular over the coming decades.
UK production of Pyrex ceased in 2007 when the now French owner of Jobling's, shut the Sunderland plant and moved production abroad.
The booklet is in a very period style - the front cover showing a coquettish figure displaying an array of foods in Pyrex dishes, whilst the back cover shows "the smartest thing in teapots", the range made by Jobling's along with coffee pots. These illustrations are signed "Harry Woolley", the artist born in Ashton-under-Lyne in Lancashire in 1881 and who died in 1959. This prolific artist and illustrator is probably best recalled as having designed many a cigarette card in his day.

Thank you to all of my dear Flickr friends for all of your lovely comments and Christmas thoughts and wishes which I really appreciate so much. You have all made me smile and warmed my heart.
We're currently away with very little internet access, barely enough to load the last of my project 100 photos and so unfortunately I am unable to comment on your streams at the moment but I promise to catch up on all of your wonderful photos over the next few days.
Merry Christmas and thank you all again so much.
