Four Loaves of Bread and some Spicy Salmon.

I made two small loaves of Cholla yesterday. One for me and one for a friend.

I realised that my loaf wasn't going to last long so I made an additional two loaves for the freezer. 

To be honest I don't even know if I have enough space for these in my freezer but maybe we will just eat it instead.

I also made a spicy salmon dish from my Dominique Woolf cook book.

It doesn't look as good as her's but it tastes great. 

I wonder what the fish looked like when Jesus fed all those people with five loaves and two fish?

In any case I also cooked a rice tray bake.

Thai Green Curry Chicken and Rice Tray bake from my Dominique cook book. Yes - that cook book is a great favourite and I love it even more now I have tasted the peanut and coconut bites recipe and it is made without baking!

I am not feeding thousands,  but I am grateful that I am able to try out recipies and feed my family, especially at this time when so many people are struggling. I am grateful and I will always seek ways of giving to others. 


May our hearts always overflow with compassion for others, and as our hearts overflow may our Lord increase our generosity to others as he increased the loaves and the fish.

Spur us with love to do more. To give more, to love more, to care more and to act for others, more. Amen.

I love cooking and this October we have a new book in the Jamie Oliver Cookbook Club. It is 'Bibi's Kitchen.' It is another great book and I have been cooking a few things here and there. I made Date Bread this morning and it was surprisingly easy to make. Over the past couple of weeks I made Zanzibar Pilau Rice. It is seasoned with Cardamoms and cinnamon stick and tastes really fragrant. You have to try and hunt for the Cardamom and Cinnamon and retrieve them before serving. I made Doro Wat to go.with the rice. This is a spicy stewed chicken which is supposed to be eaten with hard boiled eggs. I skipped the eggs because I am not really a fan. I also made stewed Spinach otherwise known as Zebhi Hamli. It is great to find a way to eat Spinach. I think mine had a bit too much Tomatoe but it still tasted great and went nicely with the Doro Wat and rice. I also beans which are called Kunde in the book and I made ...

The Ascension

  Ascension Day Salisbury Cathedral 9/5/24 Acts 1: 1-11, Ephesians 1: 15-end, Luke 24: 44-end.   In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit   For many people Ascension Day is just another day. When you compare it to Easter or Christmas, it is    quite low key, but it is of vital importance to us because it is part of the story of our Lord’s redeeming work. We should be astounded by the fact that Jesus is alive in eternity, or the glory, or heaven. However you wish to describe it, Jesus is there, and he is alive. Ascension Day should therefore empower us, capture our imagination, and inspire us to live differently. It should inspire us to be Christ like. The Ascension is a bit like a victory lap after winning a marathon. It is a vindication or a response to all that Jesus suffered. Together with the Resurrection the Ascension is a response to his birth, and ministry and it is an astounding and life-giving response to the horror of his crucifix...

In Bibi's Kitchen

Yay for this lovely cookbook. This is the October cookbook for the Jamie Oliver cookbook club and I love it. It us a great book full of stories and colourful pictures. The recipes are easy to follow and the ingredients are accessible. A few pictures below. I made Somali Spiced Tea (Shaah Cadays) It is like a very spicy chai, very spicy! Definitely a good one for winter. Chicken with garlic and ginger(Akoho Misy Sakamalao) from Madagascar.  Fish in a coconut sauce. Coril de Peix Coro) from Mozambique. and Kachumbari which is Tomatoe and Onion Salad but Kachumbari sounds nicer. The book doesn't say where the salad is from (unless I missed that part) but according to Google Kachumbari is popular in East Africa.  They are all tasty and easy to make.
