Sunday morning ... #cappuccino #homemade #coffee #baristainmykitchen Based on scientific testing, I think this recipe will be a hit. Better make a second test batch to be sure. It’s a hard life. #recipedevelopment #baking Today’s experiment. Hope the friend who’s coming over tea won’t mind being my guinea pig! Inspired by @charmian_c. #recipedevelopment #baking Introducing ... my first homemade cappuccino. I didn’t get the milk hot enough, but that foam is so silk and marshmallowy, and there was a nice crema on the espresso. Very happy with my first attempt. Who wants to let me practice on them? Oh, the latte art needs some work, lol. #cappuccino #espresso #espressomachine #brevillebaristaexpress Ontario greenhouse strawberries ... this is my first purchase of them and they actually taste like — wait for it — strawberries! #ontariogreenhousestrawberries #ontariostrawberries #ontarioproduce #strawberries #foodlandontario It’s a fine day for a walk and a sit ... #spring #walking #springbankpark #canadaslondon Today’s most excellent pastime: feeding ducks with the family. The little ones loved it (and so did the big ones!). #family #feedingtheducks #springbankpark #canadaslondon A pleasant spot to cook... Although my new kitchen is large, it’s woefully lacking counter space, but I make do. On the other hand, look at that window. And, it’s north facing, excellent for food photography. I have my eye on a larger island for more prep space. But in the meantime, I’m happy with this beloved piece that my kids gave me for my birthday many years ago. 💗💙💗 And I have a new spot picked out for it when the time comes. Enjoying the singular pleasure of cooking from my own blog. #potatoleekchowder #dinner #fbcigers
