Yum

It was a lovely 24C today. I'm enjoying it and not thinking about the forecast for the rest of the week. And Mum brought home some cherries. Beautiful, luscious (expensive) fresh cherries. Mmm.

Tonight I made Orange Chicken and I highly recommend it! I reduced the sugar and stirfried some snowpeas and shredded cabbage to go with it. There was supposed to be rice but it had gone stale (vacuum sealed) so we each had a piece of toast to sop up the sauce.

It's really good sauce. And the chicken was excellent, not dry or tough at all.

I guess I should start thinking about Christmas goodies ... I did see a turkey recipe that looked like a strong possibility for Christmas dinner but with presents, it's a matter of choosing between the multitudes of awesome looking recipes and balancing what I have the time and energy to actually do right before Christmas.

But right now it's time to make more lemon curd. I made a quadruple batch right before I went away! How fast does she get through it all?!

They're from Turkey. They're only in season for a few weeks so I try to keep a sharp lookout - I don't want to miss them :-)
