Winter Sunshine

 Winter and Autumn are my two preferred times of the year on our subtropical-warm temperate coast....

...but after four days of rain and cold winds it is a delight to see some winter sunshine and blue sky. 





Some local rainfall reportedly reached 100ml.

Ripening Bananas

 The heavy rain brought down some banana trees but here are two banana bunches ripening in our shed.

Green Banana Cakes
 

Oven baked green banana savoury cake

• Boil and mash sufficient green bananas (or plantains) to replace the meat in a traditional rissole recipe.

• Blend with plain flour (wholemeal, half wholemeal is preferred), an egg if you like, crushed nuts, finely chopped vegetables, seasonings (cumin works well) and herbs of your choice until you have a mix that can be shaped into small rissoles.

• Fry in a frypan using coconut or olive oil or bake in the oven to avoid oils. These little savoury cakes go well to nibble with pumpkin soup or serve with a savoury sauce.
