SPRING CLEANING !!!

Is it  spring cleaning ? . . . . . No, not quite.  We are getting ready for the grand kids to come for a visit during the school holiday.  They love to play in the backyard, and when the weather is good, we like to have our meals outdoors.  The table setting was so dirty, not acceptable to be used, so cleaning up was taking place.
No, not a spring cleaning, we need to do it, not only cleaning inside the house but also cleaning up the garden.

They are clean, after a good wash

.
The grandkids are always enthusiastic about coming to stay, especially they are so pleased that they will be sleeping over.  Bedrooms are aired, allowing fresh air to come in to make the rooms cleaner and fresher.

In the Garden . . . . Indeed we started to clean, to weed, to tidy up and we got the rewards already, a bunch of pretty flowers, and fresh vegetables, self sewed Swiss Chards from last year, and my goodness there are plenty of seedlings popping up everywhere.  There will be more greens this Summer.
Spring in the garden is work, " Spring Cleaning", I mentioned it to a friend before, but Spring in the garden can be fun and joyful.


Viva Vegies is the theme of our cooking this time.  Healthy and happy food for happy grandchildren.

Vegetable cheese pie, I am sure is going to be delicious, more so the pastry is the homemade water pastry.

Vegetables are easy to harvest, but it takes time to wash to get them clean from the dirt; however I am so pleased that we got them fresh from our own backyard.

Wash and clean them thoroughly, cook quickly and stored them properly.

Water pastry dough

Special water pastry I prepared today, it is added with an egg to get extra light and crispy.

Resting the pastry for half an hour is necessary before rolling out to make a finer sheet of pastry.

Spring feast is happening right now, cooking for Spring is always exciting, it does not take time, and it is fresh and not too greasy.   HHHHMMMMM, spring - lamb or roast beef with herbs is on the menu.  Javanese spices, or Middle eastern I must choose.  Both are superb to be served with Rice, just see.

Mixed Fresh Herbs

Fresh herbs and Lamb Lettuce are freshly picked from our backyard.
