I used to love watching the rain come over in the afternoons in summer on hot days, just enough to silence the cicadas for an hour or so! <BR/><BR/>Hi Rachel and welcome.

The bloke at the market farms his own plot organically and he is so visibly affected by it all. That said, the sun is so welcome - I've noticed you've been getting lots over in Adelaide too. A small, but guilty pleasure! <BR/><BR/>I know Cynthia, who'd have thought a crumble like this would work? It's so simple. Thanks love, as always, for your kind words. <BR/><BR/>It's just too heavy for me nowadays Rosa - glad you agree. Even lasagnes require something other than that floury, milky sauce. Glad you're back - hopefully with a cache of goodies!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524429760235996360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24700217.post-64614645917735537742007-11-08T22:45:00.000+10:302007-11-08T22:45:00.000+10:30Lovely post, Lucy!

Two of my favourite things!<BR/><BR/>Spring in Melbourne is so different to Sydney, isn't it Truffle? Loved your salad by the way. <BR/><BR/>It's well worth the (little) effort involved Maryann! <BR/><BR/>Susan, not sure if I should mention this, but that jug? It was, um, pilfered from a first class upgrade by a friend. It's a lovely, silvery thing...goodies ahoy. I love spring. <BR/><BR/>How funny Deb, that you should mention the dried up garlic of autumn - I feel so very lucky to have these fresh, pretty young things to work with. <BR/><BR/>Cauliflower cheese...mmm...Wendy, that book is an endless source of unique recipes for me. Glad you know of it!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Fanny! May you enjoy it. <BR/><BR/>Callipygia - who'd have thought it would work? Very pleasing result. <BR/><BR/>Those winds really knocked me around for the first few years of being down here Cindy. I always felt as though daylight savings just prolonged the heat, but the older I get, the more I love it too. Look forward to your leek-age.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524429760235996360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24700217.post-64816404564394073502007-11-07T08:08:00.000+10:302007-11-07T08:08:00.000+10:30I think of this weather as uniquely Melbourne.

But I love, love, love daylight saving.<BR/><BR/>Your crumble looks lovely!

But oh those Spring veggies cannot be beat. I remember being in Ohio this Spring at the farmers market and loading up on that wonderful fragrent garlic! I immediately was spoiled with fresh garlic. Now I deal with the dry, half of the time sprouting, garlic that I have to get at the grocery store. I guess I will just have to anticipate Spring again here in the States. <BR/>Your leek dish sounds marvelous and the addition of tahini is very interesting. I am trying to imagine the flavor it will impart to the dish. A must try for me!winedebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891313852429967357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24700217.post-34182066307670799342007-11-06T22:34:00.000+10:302007-11-06T22:34:00.000+10:30Too many goodies, Lucy.
