One of the brilliant chefs in our family text me this recipe this morning... on the subject of orange! These are his words, quick and easy. Try it if you like and let me know how you go.....

9 eggs
500gms almond meal
375gm sugar
3tsp baking powder
1tsp vanilla essence
pinch of cinnamon or allspice, if you like
4 oranges
2 lemons

boil oranges and lemons in water until soft, changing water 3-4 times, seeds removed
blend altogether until smooth
bake 165c for 40 mins or so, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Orange around my house

Leading out to the back yard, we battle with plastic string beads that hang from the door. We love them, but sadly, they don't keep the flies outside!

These flowers (the name escapes me....) grow happily in our vegetable garden. They protect the cabbage from nasty invaders. Sorry to be so vague, but I am not able to check my info and don't want to lead you down the 'wrong' garden path..... Anyway, they are hardy and great for companion planting!


Our fabulous orange tree! We have two actually and they are THE best oranges in the world!! You would know this fact if you have tasted them. They are so sweet. No shortage of vitamin C around here!

ORANGE

I'm kicking off the colour series with my favourite!

Orange.

Orange is known for it's vibrancy and energy.
It's made up of red and yellow.
It's a fruit.
Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity.
It's a hot colour on the colour wheel.
It's opposite is Purple.
It's bpab's main colour!

Through the week we'll explore Orange through pictures, art work and words.
You can join in too by adding your views on Orange.

The shop will have Orange items on Sale this week too! Yay!!
