Fascinating read! And yes! Let's bring ceremony back into our lives! (And less of the mindless rituals! )

I am just returned from a two-week trip to South Africa.

This is my current go-to cake for any occasion, and I've had the tab to the recipe open for the last 6 weeks, since the pear trees started ripening...!!! 😋

Very Northern hemisphere to have chicks for Easter but very lovely all the same!

When the best potatoes come out of the area where I last planted potatoes 5 years ago... they've come back every year since... 😆

Seed saving... not my forté... tedious, slow, takes over the house and is terribly time sensitive.
Plantain at least, has a very healthy husk, akin to psyllium husk, so if you miss the seeds you can still use the husks.
I do wonder how others harvest coriander seeds 🤔 😅

That fermented rhubarb drink from a while back.....
It's potent! 😆
The first bottle I opened in the sink had to be wiped off the ceiling, and many other surfaces, the kitchen got a double mop today.
But very delicious!

Equinox and reflecting on the turning of the season and the coming of winter, with more time spent inside, spurred me into action today, finally finding some motivation (and some helpers!) to do some deeper cleaning! ..I may be a kitchen goddess and good at brewing witchy things, I am certainly no household queen. 😄

Today's mahi:
Harvesting apples, pears, elderberries and aronia berries to make an immunity tonic.
Using the Apple-pear juice to sweeten, plus a bit of honey, ginger, lemon, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, orange peel, and some vodka for shelf life. 😋

When summer ends and talk of bugs going around the classrooms increases, lemon balm is my go-to infusion. Now fresh, but also picking and drying for winter time.

Tasting and bottling elder flower vinegar (accidental batch of failed elderflower fizz 😉)
Very mild tasting, probably not acidic enough for preserving but great for salad dressings and daily tonic shot 😋
The other bottle has a year old apple cider vinegar in it that also still tastes fine, with a growing mother in the bottom.
