Today is International Women’s Day, so we Ladylanders will be celebrating with a long child-free lunch, thanks to crazy feminist ideas like having partners that share childcare, being allowed to drink wine and using our own money to buy it.
We have a food recycling caddy at home and we cook a lot, but somehow the little bin gets filled with a lot more tea leaves and coffee grounds than I ever realise – we drink so much tea and coffee!
I always feel a cake should give you satisfaction when you eat it, but I’m starting to think it should also gives you satisfaction when you make it. Unlike Ladyland Clem, I’m a novice at baking, so enjoyment comes from ease of success.
Somehow I cannot get enough of eating raspberries. Especially since I live in the U.K. – they are just incredible here. So any excuse is good and this Raspberry Mojito is another one I found last week. As if I needed this excuse!
Not everyone associates sparkling wines with art, but if you are born in Venice, you might do it by nature. So did Giovanni Cipriani, owner and founder of the famous Harry’s Bar. On creating a cocktail in the 1930s, Cipriani decided to name it after Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini, because its delicate colour reminded him of a saint’s robe in one of the artists’ works that he’d seen in a local church.
