So when I need a quick reminder I find quotations helpful.
My grandmother always used to tell me this: "If you have a lemon day keep sweet, and don't let the lemons get to you... maybe the next will be a glowing day!"
Tesco Snack Melton Mowbray mini Pork Pies.
They are chewy, luscious, and dangerously delicious. Once you've tasted these pies, nothing else will suffice!
A pork pie is a traditional British meat pie; it consists of chopped pork and pork jelly sealed in a hot water crust pastry.
It is normally eaten cold as a snack and it tastes really, really good! I could so fancy one now!
{At this point, just wanted to say that I like the way Americans mix sweet with savoury, so it is entirely normal to see chocolate pancakes with maple syrup served with bacon.
I just love American breakfasts!}
Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano (Parmesan) cheese. This is so good; very flavourful and so delicious.
Not sure what this delicate flower is, but I sure love it!
Does anyone know?
What are your five favourite things from this past week? I'd love to hear. xx
Looks like a kind of rose to me. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. I moved closer to my ipad's screen to smell your 1st two photos. :)
I like many things that contain chocolate.Have a sweat day!
ReplyDeleteThat flower looks like a peony of some sort to me. I love mixing sweet and savory...my favorite is to drizzle maple syrup on bacon for breakfast...try it, you'll like it :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely post Betty dear, great images.
ReplyDeleteBacon and waffles sounds good, I add lemon juice to many of my salads and recipes.
The flowers could be ranunculas or peonies.
Have a lovely week!
xoxoxo ♡
Peony for the flower...wonderful, beautiful bloom! As for the food items...you are tempting me! Would love to visit the tea room!
ReplyDeleteOh my I want a Pork Pie. Never had one but would like to try it.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
Yes, I would also say that the flower is a peony. Chocolate waffles and bacon sounds good, but I had chocolate covered bacon once and wasn't crazy about it. Love your photos.
ReplyDeletelove that pork pie, never had one but it looks like i would want it. don't know what the flower is but i like it.
ReplyDeletecan't think of a single favorite thing, i just drew a blank.
the pork pie looks like it could be good!
ReplyDeletei think that flower is a peony.
Your grandmother sounds like a wise woman.
ReplyDeleteChocolate and bacon, really? Sounds awful. Mind you Husband dearest enjoys sausages and marmalade and, cheese and jam.
Lemons, cheese, and pork pie. Yum yum!! Sweet is good, but savory is better!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what a Peony looks like, but it reminds me of our Camellias before they open up fully. (wrong color, too)
Nunca me han gustado los limones, si espero encontrar uno dulce que llegue a mi voy a esperar muchos años.
ReplyDeleteCreo que la mezcla del dulce y del salado en una buena combinación que se lleva.
Un abrazo
The flower is a ranunculus. Her petals lookes like crispy paper. I love it. I am getting hungry of your post Betty.
ReplyDeleteHello! Ilove the lemon...It is not easy tosay what flower is that...and yummy cheese...
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, I'm living near Meltons Porkie.
ReplyDeletePork pie - I´ve never had it but now I want it! :-)
ReplyDeleteRanunculus or buttercup...that is the name of the flower...my favorites.....yammie post...have a nice week...love from me....xxx..
ReplyDeleteNot sure what the flower is, but it's lovely! I do love pork pies and I never get enough cheese of any kind! Hope your week is going well, Betty!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
It sorta looks like a peony..
ReplyDeleteHi Betty
ReplyDeleteI lurrrwwweee pork pie! YUM!! YUM!!
This flower is so beautiful!-it could be a peony.
Have a great day.
Nice pictures, I could eat all them, except the Piggy "RIP" Pie.
ReplyDeleteHola
ReplyDeleteGracias por visitarme.
Tienes un blog muy bonito con muchas ideas útiles.
Te felicito.
Un beso grande.
Every time I see a cucumber, I think of my youngest granddaughter. She was such a picky eater, but cucumbers were one of the few things she would eat.
ReplyDeleteI think that flower is Lotus.
ReplyDeleteScrumptious post in many ways. Peonies for sure.
ReplyDeleteYour post has made me hungry! Nice pics. I do believe that is a peony, too. They are beautiful. I have some in my garden.
ReplyDeleteHallo, Betty!!
ReplyDeleteThe flower is another kind of rose..
Your photographs are so good.
Are you ready for many customers?
Have a great week of spring!!
Love♥♥♥♥
Hugs
Monika
tracy, what can i say? there is no disputing taste! everyone to his own!:)
ReplyDeletePork pie is usually eaten cold? I wouldn't have guessed that. There is just something about that though, that makes me want to build a raft and pay a visit across the pond to sample this treat. If I had a "bucket list," eating pork pie would be on it.
ReplyDeleteHere, in Asturias, we eat pie of various kinds of meat: pork, chicken, mussels, octopus ... and, above all, La Fabada, consisting of several types of pork with beans ... is delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe flower is in the photograph, I think it is a ranunculus. Also called francesilla or Maimoñas.
I do not particularly like the mix of sweet with salty.
Five things of the past week: Clean up the garden, sea view, writing, walking with my dog and playing guitar.
Hugs, Betty.
Could be a peonie rose...don't know.
ReplyDeleteYes, we do miss lots of foods. That is part of the charm of exploring different foods from different areas. Even without our country, there are many variations on the way we eat.
Our favorite meal growing up was chocolate gravy not at all what it sounds like. It is a thin sweet chocolate pudding served over hot hand made biscuits and yes, we have served it with bacon.
When my girls were growing up with company over, this was the dish most requested by guests.
craver, a cold pork pie sounds weird indeed, but these are something of a british staple, and always eaten cold. they eat hot pork pies in yorkshire though... strange, isn't it?
ReplyDeletegail, chocolate gravy sounds great!
ReplyDeletei'm a huge fan of american delish bisquits, and pancakes!!
I imagine I would like a cold pork pie -- I have some British heritage, after all! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Post Betty! Wrap the Flower--in Bacon--deep fry and eat!
ReplyDeleteNot sure but You've had lots of suggestions! Whatever--it's Beautiful!

ReplyDeletethe flower looks like a peony ... one of my childhood favorites flowers from our garden.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are delicious, even the ones of inedible things.
ReplyDeleteBe well, Betty.

Whoa! Too much food!!! Only kidding ...
ReplyDeleteOf course the pie is my fave because I love hot water pastry!! But I can't imagine life without cheese or crepes, either!!
Have a great day!
Curiosa y didáctica entrada. Saludos.-
ReplyDeleteTiny pies are the best kind, especially after a night drinking.
ReplyDeleteRetazos de la vida misma, momentos únicos y llenos de calidez.
ReplyDeleteExcelente
Un cordial saludo
Lovely photos and editing!
ReplyDelete"If you have a lemon day keeps sweet!"
ReplyDeleteWhat if I have more than one lemon?
I think that's a peony.
ReplyDeleteThe pork pie looks yummy - I love anything with a piecrust like that.
Here is the south we have a restaurant - Gladys Knight's Chicken and Waffles. It's fried chicken served with breakfast waffles - sweet syrup and all. Strangely good.
Of my favorite things from last week, I would have to say I enjoyed a delicious fish and chips lunch downtown with my husband. I think it was the company that I enjoyed, though, more than the fish. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI loved the photos, my dear Betty. They are all lovely, colorful, and just delicious looking!
Wishing you a beautiful rest of the week...
Big hugs,
Nevine :-)
Lovely flower. I love visiting you here. Such amazing photography.
ReplyDeleteMy five favorite things from this past week: dancing, warm air, smiling kids, the Voice, peace at Church

Love this post and these photos. You got me with the cheese, it's my weakness. Would love to go to that tea room and have those blueberry pancakes. Breakfast is, without a doubt, my favorite meal. My five things:
ReplyDeleteMy wifes buttermilk pancakes ( home made) and maple syrup
- A cheese board for dinner, with blue, monchego, chedder and bri, accompanied by a glass of wine.( or 3)
- Home made pizza, with arugala, mozzarella and fig. ( talk about sweet and savory)
- Morning coffee with freshly ground coffee in my new cuisiart coffee maker.
Now I'm hungry
as i know the flower looks like peony..I like the cheese. beautiful shots

I LOVE parmiagiano-reggiano cheese. Would love to eat at the tea room/creperie. Neat looking place. And the flower is a peony, I believe. Love peonies, too. Lovely photos. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI love what you shared from your Grandmother and yes American Breakfast is awesome, that's why eat for dinner too!
ReplyDeleteWe spent three days in the mountains of North Carolina -- hiking, visiting waterfalls, and staying at a wonderful old inn. There were many more than five favorite things about this trip.
ReplyDeleteI could eat Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese all day long!
ReplyDeleteColours, flavours, smells and images to feel and taste. Happy Easter, Betty!
