well, there are some things that makes me particulary pleased.
one is of course, studying maps and searching new walking routes..
but there is something else that makes me even more happy.
when a cutting roots! :)))
in these case...finally after several years of trying a cutting of lemon verbena
have rooted!
here it is together with Houttuynia cordata "Chamaeleon"
(try this little plant, if you are lucky it will invade your garden with it's small colourful leaves!)
and Busy Lizzie (impatiens walleriana)
(another very very pleasant and satisfactory plant.)
so...after 10days of steady rain, today..some sun came out!
I took the chance to set the table outside.
I didn't have much time (and lookin up into the sky I hurry anyway :))
so I made very simple.
I cut some long branches of my Rosa Banksiae Alba Plena,
a very very hardy rose, perfumed and without thorns and branches
of Robinia Pseudoacacia.
but it looked so lonley on the old tablecloth..so to cheer up..
I put some radicchio salad together.
well...it is not very fashionable but it made my husband and Sofia (doughter n°4) smile :))

durumwheat bread
very easy, very healthy
you need:
850gr of water
5gr of fresh yeast
1,200- 1,400kg of durumwheat flour
salt
let the yeast melt in the water, by whisking
ad the flour until you have a sticky dough.
add the salt and work for other 5min.
let raise for at least 16-18hours in a cool place covered with a plastic foil.
then spill the dough out on a table, covered with some durumwheat flour.
just fold the angles to the middle, then turn the dough upside down and dow the same
(folde the angles to the middle)
take the dough and put on a baking try (covered with baking paper o with oil)
bake in oven: 230° for ca 20min then lower to 190° and let bake for another 45min.
(no need to preheat the oven.

it was good I hurried up..look at the sky later this day..

ReplyDeleteHappy Tablescape Thursday...
XO,

Very pretty, love the little surprise finding the radicchio in the centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. The flowers are gorgeous and the radicchio is colorful. The bread looks wonderful - not sure what durumwheat is....

Alive! This table is alive and fresh and real and REfreshing and looks like whatever you serve is not only going to feed the body well, but, also, the soul. Really, really lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove to you, Katy Noelle
Your clever centerpiece is gorgeous enough for a magazine! What a pretty, inviting setting!
ReplyDeleteBriggi, your table made my day. I have not words enough to tell you how much I adore this combination of rosa banksia and radiccio. That looks like arranged for a flemish stillife, doesn't it? At the moment I hope my cutting of rosa banksia will get roots and so your post is hopefully a good omen for that. The flowers and the little rough tableclothes looks together so fresh and cheerful. I have to remember that effect. By the way: After some unlucky trials to grow a Houttuynia cordata "Chamaeleon, I could consider one plant to life in my garden. I love this colored leaves especially in the autumn.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a nice garden year with lots of possibilities to dine in peace outside.
Greetings, Johanna
