Good Stuff (2)

A few discoveries and rediscoveries - current favourites at Dixon Hill….
Black Garlic. Utterly different from regular garlic, this has been aged for several weeks through a careful heating and moisture process. The cloves have a soft, velvety texture and no garlic smell or aftertaste. As to flavour, think molasses or balsamic vinegar. I love black garlic with soft boiled eggs….but there are a dozen other ways to use it. Well worth trying.
Miss Austen Regrets. This BBC film came out in 2008 whilst I was living in the States - which is presumably how I missed it. Now I’m watching it over and over. Olivia Williams is sensational as Jane.
Fennel tea. Had forgotten how very good this is.
The Simple Things. New magazine from the Molly Makes stable. Lots of nature inspired articles and everyday pleasures.
Proper mail. Loving these pretty fold-and-mail writing pads. Bought mine from The Imaginarium Gallery in Haworth - favourite shop of the moment.
Toast Snood. Winter indulgence. A present from my generous husband. Shall be wearing this all season long.

Lofts LOVELIES here today, Helen... I so much enjoyed "Miss Austen Regrets"... I should revisit that one, beautifully done, it was. I've not tried black garlic before... can't get it here.
