Lebanese Zucchini, Braseola (Italian dry cured beef), Red Marconi Capsicum, Lazy Wife Bean. (Had to have a zucchini/bean curry the other night to use all the beggars up!)

Have another Braseola and Coppa in production both of which may be ready for Marysville.

Delicious!

What was the Bresaolo like? Less salty than your first air-curing attempt?

Beautiful old specimens! That Tabuliformis has so much character. Looks like a little path is worn into it where some critters (or ferries and gnomes) travel frequently. Can you venture a guess on the age of that one, and the Picea omorika 'Nana'? I think the orientalis are the most graceful trees, and that is a beautiful specimen.

I do a 6-braid challah, but trailrunner is the one who posts the most challah pictures! i'm in the middle of a hiatus due to the kitchen project! what dough do you use for your hamantashen? it looks a lot more pastry-like than most I've seen lately. oh... how do you like your electrolux? I'm still kicking myself for not getting the 10-quart-hobart-like machine Costco was selling during the summer. I will definitely need a back up.. my KA smokes white a bit when I do stiffer doughs. The Eurolux machine was on my list to investigate.

Hi Fiona Welcome to gardening in Spain! I have lived in Alora for almost 3 years now and the garden was and still is a challenge. I decided to keep a Mediterranean Garden diary on my own website fairly recently. There may be some useful information, things I have learnt along the way etc. I would also highly recommend 'Heidi Gildermaster's' Mediterranean Gardening - a mine of information. Here is a link that might be useful: My Mediterranean Garden

agree with you FeatherBee...lots of competition these days. what scares me about HD is the fabricators and installers. there's so many horror stories. I couldn't care less about where the stone itself is purchased from as long as it's the genuine product, which it would be at HD.

Great going, Lomatia.

I sent you an email regarding the small red you got for Grub's Mystery Green. Maybe it didn't get through?

I was wondering how many plants you grew, were they PL or RL, and the rough size of the fruit. I don't think I have any like it here. Anyway, sorry it wasn't green. But I'd love some Bresaolo, whcih costs about $50/kg here, adn is so nice in an insalda caprese.

Good growing, Grub.

Grub, sorry I've been a bit slack. (I got the email) A pic of the GMG at Marysville is attached - it looks OK. I have three in in Melbourne (the delinquent and two smaller plants) If there is one still in a tube somewhere I will pot it up into a big pot for the glasshouse.

Spatz actually the Coppa turned out OK and wasn't too salty in the end. The Bras is a little chewy as I used topside and it's hard to cut it wafer thin. Still tasty and colourful with a nice flavour due to the juniper berries.

Totora is in the process of making his first Coppa - trouble is he'll eat it all - not that I didn't demolish my first one! It's well and truly gone now.
The next project is Carne Salata which is a kind of prosciutto (from Lucca)!!!!

Looks to be the RL version and true to form on the fruit shape. Hope it tastes good. Cheers, Grub.

The deli section at our supermarket is loaded with Bresaolo. Not to mention every other meat delicacy known to personkind. YUM! Mrs finbar, of course, walks straight past it. Tuscany ain't vegetarian heaven. Tst.
