Stop Press! Pie Season ends. Weight report will follow tomorrow.
Yum yum, the pie breakfasts sure were delicious. What could possibly take their place? Lets have a sneak preview of “Augrapes.” Here is a hint…
Some fresh grapes. Somehow, I know you would have predicted that. Only some though, they are quite expensive because at this time of the year they have to be imported.
Fresh grapes do not sit well on pancakes, there is no doubt about that. It would taste odd with ice cream and anyway, they would tend to roll off. Instead, we have fresh fruit of choice on the pancake and try to mix it up. I like to revisit summer berries if they are available. Attempts will be made to cook steamed sultana puddings. Fruitcake suppers might make an appearance.
We will have some home made ham and pineapple pizzas with a small amount of cheese on them. Ham and salad bread rolls are great for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
Cabbage is the star in Augrapes. I just know you would never have predicted that. A large proportion of cabbage and carrot in homemade coleslaw that has a small amount of coleslaw dressing goes really well with ham and bread roll.
How does roast pork with crackling sound? We will definitely have some of that. Naturally, we will mainly have many pork medallion meals with, (yes, how did you guess?) oven fries potatoes, commercial brand finishing sauce and steamed vegetables. Cabbage, carrots and rotate the third vegetable for some variety.
I do so very much enjoy Augrapes, which over the years we have come to know fondly as “Porkust.”
