Fresh Flowers - Fresh Food.

Fresh Flowers


Autumn Flowers Arrangement.

Cutting fresh flowers for a beautiful arrangement delights me, I do it often.  May is the last month of Autumn, the weather has been so wet, but the roses are there, for everyone to enjoy. 
Roses are very resilient, easy to look after and very generous.  The rain keeps them fresh, most flowers survive well and bloom longer.


Camellia Sasanqua, the queen of  Autumn flowers in my front garden, is in flower.  The white Early Pearly-Camellia Sasanqua are blooming along the side fence, creating a beautiful wall, the white petals dropped and scattered on the ground brighten up the place. It does look pretty.

The Camellia Sasanqua Setsugekka is blooming too, it dresses up the creamy wall, the shiny green leaves create a fresh colour.

The white and green theme of the front garden is always brighter around Autumn,  particularly with the foliage leaves plants of Japanese maples.  Loving it.

Fresh Food.

Pancake rolls

What is happening around the kitchen today?  One has to think about it sometimes, lunch or dinner has to be planned or organised.  Lucky enough if there is a leftover to work with.

Leftover roast chicken is handy to have, the meat can be used for filling of sandwiches, boil the bones for broth, which is suitable for cooking light soup.  Tips that you may do with the chicken meat, if you like Asian cooking, you could make pancakes rolls or even using rice paper to make rice paper rolls.  What I did with mine was pancake rolls, and I am trying to freeze some of them to keep fresh.

Filling of the pancake rolls

Add to chicken meat,  avocado/lime juice and rice vermicelli noodles, these three ingredients are for the fill of the pancakes.  I kept some of them in the freezer (short term freezing) for about three or five days.  I plan to defrost them overnight in the refrigerator and see how it goes. 

Keep It Fresh!  Keeping fresh of the food is very important, there are ways to do it depending on the need of the dishes.  For the pancake rolls to stay fresh keep in the refrigerator.  Place them on a plate, cover with clean, fresh greens: lettuce, herbs etc., then cover and wrap them up with plastic.  This way, the pancake rolls stay moist, fresh and healthy.

The Pancake Rolls

Avocado is very healthy and delicious fruit. Unfortunately, it does not last long on the kitchen bench also it easily oxidises in a mixed salad or food.   How do I keep it fresh?  I am trying to keep some of the pancake rolls which contained avocado, in a deep freezer for a few days,  and see how I go.  Will it work? Will see.
I am looking forward to finding out about it on Monday the 7 of May. 
Stay Tuned.

It has been a good Thursday, a little bit weary but healthy enough.
