Pilot lamb slivers with Robyn's veges

The lamb is so nice the way Steph cooks it in her secret marinade, and the roast sesame seeds do the trick on the carrots.

Maori potatoes

They grew in a not so sunny spot, so are late, but worth the wait.
From left... Huakororo, Karuparera, and takurawhiti. They have a very full buttery flavour.

Spicey sossies

Featuring my homegrown solid beefsteak tomatoes.

Pukaki salmon

Pan fried crispy with cracked pepper, yet almost outdone by Steph's amazingly tasty vege cupcakes and avocado coleslaw (trying to chomp through all our cabbages).

Italian pasta

With the beauty beefsteak tomatoes from Pete's glasshouse over in Runanga, and roasted walnuts from on my back lawn.

Forest berries

We once again augmented our riding adventures on our Hanmer forest family get together with some foraging for blackberry treasure. This year the cold summer has put the rippening back a few weeks, however with perseverence we picked enough for a large pie which easily feed all 20 of our relatives.

Beef, lentils and kale
