Spring Fever

dobegoo
Spring is here in NZ in all it's glory - blossoms and daffodils, longer, warmer days.
Grandson Ashton is due to arrive from Canada later this month. Lots for him to see and do here in Auckland.
June saw us in Singapore to celebrate 32 years of marital bliss.
Nose op in August should hopefully see me breathing easy now.
Bowling season opened at our Remuera Club with Rodney HIde making an excellent speech and charming a few more voters I believe. Talking politics there seems to be more time spent on political wranging and in fighting than actually running the country. Oh for the days of honesty and integrity that we should be able to expect from our politicians.
Off to the beach today - dentist tomorrow as someone lost half a tooth thanks to the sugar coated walnuts she made for a special salad.
Recipe given to me by my physiotherapist Pip Sail (this is delicious)
heat small amount of castor sugar and water till it just starts to change colour - pour over walnuts set out on baking paper. (Do not make it too toffee like or you could lose 1/2 a tooth like I did)
Gently cook some fresh pears with a cinnamon stick (or just some ground cinnamon) and sugar. Cool. MIx rocket lettuce with pears cut into 1/8ths & chunks of blue cheese sprinkle walnuts on top. I used some lemon juice as dressing but you can choose your favourite. Enjoy.
