SHARON'S PICKS FOR APRIL - SHARON THE BIRTHDAY GIRL

I was trying to find a photo of just you alone but I wanted one of you not only looking beautiful but looking happy as well and had to include someone who mean't a lot to you (your family) so Happy Birthday sis, hope you have a great day.

PADDY'S PICKS FOR APRIL - SIMILAR

Same use (candle holder), same color, same pattern, different shape.

YUMMIE FEIJOAS AND CAPSICUM SPREAD

Capsicums are very abundant at the moment so today I made a Capsicum spread which is yummie with cream cheese and crackers. I thought I got this recipe from you Jacky but you don't remember it so maybe I didn't. Anyway here is the recipe and I did double the quantity. It didn't seem to thicken up so I added some cornflour.

Capsicum Spread
2 large capsicum chopped finely
3 tbspn sundried tomatoes
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
2 cloves garlic
Simmer until thick and put in container.

We were so lucky Peter's friend has a beautiful feijoa tree and last Friday brought around a huge bag around So today I stewed about half of them to put in the freezer. I know you girls must miss them as they are harder to get over there aren't they. Mind you if you buy them in the shops here (which I refuse to do as they fall off the ground in a lot of peoples home trees) and they are very expensive.

JACKY'S PICKS FOR APRIL - MORE PURPLE

These fancy auburgenes were taken a couple of weeks ago at the conservatory.

SHARON'S PICK FOR APRIL - OLD HOUSE

This is Ellyme cottage in Parnell. It was open to the public today but my leg was sore so I just took some outside shots. The three posts in the front are a bit distracting but it shows it from another angle.
