This morning, I harvested Dark Red Norland potatoes I planted in an ainneor (lazy bed).

On 30 April, I planted 2 kg of seed potatoes in a 2 sq. meter section of the ainneor. Today's harvest yielded 16.8 kg. Since I have only grown potatoes a few times in the last 30+ years, I don't know if this is a typical yield or not.

It's semi-traditional to eat Indian food today in honour of the Feast of St Thomas, who was credited with taking Christianity to India.

Fata (Potato) Update

Nine weeks after planting.

The plant growth of the Dark Red Norlands (the two square meters of potatoes on the right) is just starting to die back. I'm guessing they will be ready to dig in the next week or two.

Fata Update

About five weeks after planting.

I find it fascinating how different the foliage is in form and color between two varieties of potatoes. (See the second photo -- Russian Banana Fingerlings on the left, Dark Red Norlands on the right.)

I have been using this milk for a couple of months now and wanted to let people know about it.
Do you remember the old-style milk with cream on top? 🥛🐄
It's a nostalgic memory for many of us, this type of milk was once the norm in Australia, but has largely been replaced by homogenized milk that's easier to process and distribute.
But for those who miss the rich flavour and creamy texture of old-style milk, there are still some farmers who produce it the traditional way. Supporting these local producers not only gives you a taste of the past, but also helps to sustain small-scale farming and preserve regional food traditions.
So next time you're at the grocery store, why not look for a bottle of old-style milk? You might be surprised by how much you enjoy it, and you'll be doing your part to keep this piece of culinary heritage alive. 🙌 #oldstylemilk #creamontop #supportlocalfarms #foodtraditions

Eggs: these were dyed in the traditional manner, simmered for long hours with vinegar and many, many onion skins, plus some saffron that was going stale so I threw it in. The result is very tasty - even the white has flavour. #food #cooking #FoodTraditions #GreekEaster #EasterEggs

Fascinating and delicious. 🤤

"A lot of Easter traditions – including hot cross buns and lamb on Sunday – stem from medieval Christian or even earlier pagan beliefs. The chocolate Easter egg, however, is a more modern twist on tradition."

I am going to start researching and experimenting with "lazy beds" (Irish, "ainneor") for growing potatoes, this Spring. More to come.

(I hate the term "lazy beds.")

It's a new year, so I did some cooking this morning. Cornbread, collard greens, and Hoppin' John, all done with smoked turkey products rather than pork. A good hearty lunch before I go to work. #HappyNewYear #2023 #FoodTraditions

@andrewplord Not from a tropical climate but I love pineapple, would welcome it on pizza or in fruitcake or anything :-)

Btw in the US, cheddar cheese on warm apple pie is a tradition in some states, I think in New England mostly. I wonder if that came with the early settlers from across the pond? #joinin #foodtraditions

The Greek salad the cookbooks don’t tell you about is this traditional Winter classic: shredded cabbage (with or without grated carrots) dressed with lemon, olive oil, and salt. #GreekSalad #cooking #FoodTraditions

I just discovered this rhyme to remember when the #EmberDays fall: "Lenty, Penty, Crucy, Lucy" 😂

Public acknowledgement and protection of regional foods is always a cause of celebration for communities and especially so during tough times.
