Day 149 - herb crusted salmon and roast potato salad

Watching Masterchef always gives me inspiration to cook something special. Today I cooked my first salmon fillet, I made a crust of rosemary, chilli, lemon, toasted hazelnuts and parsley. The potato salad is made with roast potatoes and mixed with cream spring onion fresh cumin and mustard seeds.

Day 144 - fairy garden

After the mini herb garden was invaded by aliens of the slimy kind I had to investigate ways to protect my plants. The Internet has a lot of great ideas that don't involve outright killing them such as copper coins, to add some personal flair and try something new I made my herbs into a fairy garden. It is still ongoing (I haven't even added in last night's lantern fairy house) but I love it and may have a new addiction. As you can see I glued old copper coins all around the rim encasing my herbs and buried some in the soil.
