A Delicious Mess. With help from the garden

Yesterday was all about garden loot. It began with the first picking of roses.

Then

Last night's messy supper was all the more delicious because of garden loot and local produce.

Doing things backwards: dessert of fresh strawberries, full cream yoghurt and a dollop of honey.

I made them early so the flavours could develop.

Then it was burgers: I made a batch of patties based on the burgers that were served at that late 80s and 90s iconic Camps Bay establishment, Blues. Of course I have made them my own, and one of the secrets is the pile of fresh herbs.

Served between two sides of my sourdough buns, the finished product was a juicy, drippy, delicious mess.

That batch made 12 patties. That's five meals stashed in the deep freeze.

Until next time, be well

Those roses! That burger! Those strawberries! Goodness, everything is winding down where I am now. Many trees are bare, winter is coming. It's lovely to see someone else's spring and summer.

Hola amiga fiona, how nice those roses look, I'm curious what the herbs you used for the empanadas are called. In my country we usually use a lot is the small oregano.

I use a mixture. I do use oreganum (as we call it) and marjoram and I really like thyme. There was also parsley in this batch. I have to admit that this is one of the best batches I have made in a while.

Imagining how all that would have tasted in my mouth.
Now I am craving foreign food.. Straw berry, ice cream and honey..hmm
I might give that a try.

That burger looks pretty yummy, and massive too. And the picking of the roses is gorgeous, even though I'm not too much of roses.
