Weekend Report...

What a lovely weekend we have had! 
The sun has been shining and we have enjoyed very non-autumnal temperatures.

Not a very exciting Saturday though. Just the usual boring housework that needs doing. Our Boy is on half term break next week which means less preparations for the week ahead so a less hectic schedule this weekend. But no Saturday without rice porridge for lunch! Well, that is a lie. It was true in my childhood though. Surprisingly enough, in Iran they also enjoy rice pudding, but add bits of cooked turkey to it. I have never tried it, but it does sound very strange to my Norwegian palate.
I harvested more of our chillies and made some more of the sweet chilli sauce which just 'disappears' in this house. I couldn't tell you how long you can keep it before it goes bad because it never lasts that long in our house!

The tomatoes are also on their last leg although some are still green. 
It doesn't really matter as my mother-in-law uses them in her cooking anyway and they taste delicious!
Still some flowers blooming in the garden. Looks like they can still go on for a long time unless the weather decides to change soon.

But some plants are getting ready for the colder period and to be used in new celebrations.
And to round the weekend off - a BBQ in the garden at a friend's house for her 18 year old son!

  2. Det er barndomsminner for meg, hver lørdag var det risgrøt og rød saft :) Spesielt på høsten, når vi fyrte opp i kjellerstua og spiste der.. Pappa "sov" tippekamp og vi andre leste og sludret :) Lykke!

    Herlig med Chili i egen hage!

    Ha en skjønn søndagskveld..

    Klem klem

  3. Risengrøt med kalkun høres unektelig litt merkelig ut ja.....men helgen, den hørtes veldig kjekk ut....

  4. Hej Mette,

    Hemmagjord Sweet Chili sauce från egenodlade chilifrukter - det låter otroligt gott och trevligt! Jag förstår att den försvinner fort hos er... :-)

    Och nej, det är inte alls för tidigt att köpa jultidningar... i så fall är jag också guilty as charged för denna guilty pleasure... ;-)

    Hoppas allt är bra med dig och att du får en fortsatt trevlig höst!
    Kram, Helena
