Thyme for more Mushrooms

Sometimes it's not pretty but the flavours are pretty darn delicious. So it is with this now, go-to mushroom pasta and which I must write down properly. I say again, how much I am enjoying the rejuvenation of the garden.

After the original thyme bush got stomped on by a drilling rig and never really recovered, the replacement is beginning to flourish. The flavour, because it's covered in minuscule flowers, is ... the best. For this dish, I have ditched the traditional oregano for this (stitch in time).

The antipasti another favourite: roasted beetroot on a bed of wild rocket (arugula) with feta (chevin would be better) and, because it needed using, slices of sauteed brinjal.

Other than seasoning, the only dressing either of these dishes needs, is olive oil. As much or as little as one prefers.

Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:

  • re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
  • and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.

    • I also share my occasional Instagram posts to the crypto blockchain, Hive, using the new, and really nifty phone app, Dapplr. On your phone, click here or on the icon, and give it a go.

Hahah my instincts guided me to where I needed to be 😂..

Hey on a completely different note, any idea what's going on with @dapplr? I think the app has lost some functionality, I can't seem to see my power or wallet

Oh, that's interesting. No, I don't. TBH I only use it for posting. Makes me think I need to swop to Ecency which, I believe, has a great mobile app.

Have you asked in Discord? I do know they were looking for buyers.

Hey Fiona, I hope you are well. Did you survive the latest storms or were you unaffected in McGregor?

That pasta looks so darn good, now I'm super hungry. I have mushrooms and ham in the fridge and some fresh thyme in the garden, guess you've inspired me to make some for lunch :) Lory will be very happy, it's one of her favourites.

Have a lovely day

xx Andy

Thanks for thinking of me, Andy! How did you do?

We've had no rain but the wind's been howling - and getting stronger. They say we'll get rain tomorrow into the night, so we'll see. I'm hoping that it's mostly done by Saturday: for the market and for the afternoon. We're hosting a baby shower in the garden...and the spot they want to use is in the teeth of the south easter so we may have to move it.... TMI...

Hope you had a good lunch!

How was the baby shower in the garden? Did you manage to survive the Cape Doctor? I must admit I don't miss the constant south Easter of Muizenberg.

I'm always grateful for rain, but this last storm was about too hectic for my liking. The garden enjoyed it though.

I hope you have a really splendid weekend and best of luck with your market!

Keep well

Andy

Looks delish! Glad you are ok!

The baby shower is tomorrow so we are still watching the weather. Carefully. Hopefully the rain comes and goes in time for that and the market!
