Turns out as well as chocolate week and curry week its also egg week…..good job I had egg curry last night then.
So Day 2 of chocolate week I was mostly munching on my regular bar
Divine 70%…its great it smooth and dark enough and sensibly priced and widely available and good ethics.
Not really much more you can ask for in a regular chocolate purchase in my view. Well possibly someone to send you a large delivery as a gift but apart from that….
I’m not that much of a fan of this week and that week and the other week. Mainly because there are now so many its easy to get them muddled. After all today was the start of Chocolate Week, Curry Week and also international porridge day…hopefully not all in the same meal!
Although actually the only thing I haven’t had today is porridge….
So despite all that I do like chocolate and any excuse to branch out is a good one.
Today’s chocolate choices were:
first with morning coffee Pixie Hall‘s truffles
and then
Macarons + More chocolate orange and cardamom shortbread
Both totally delish and both purchased at The Norfolk Diet market in Norwich on Saturday
The recent sunny weather has brought the pelargoniums into a second round of flowering.
And today was a pleasantly sunny day with good light for taking pictures in the garden.
So here’s shocking pink pelargoniums in all their glory.
If only I could get them to grow in my window boxes but I don’t think they get enough sun to do well on our north east facing windowsills.
This year the tomatoes have been very slow to flower, set and ripen. We have had some red ones (like about 5) but most are still green.
They aren’t all nubbly like this one though (seeds courtesy of @josordoni)
Nubbly or not they are destined for green tomato chutney or pickles. Which are at least as delicious as having ripe tomatoes.
WIn-Win 
Yesterday we noticed some apples hanging over the fence from the neighbours tree.
So we picked them.
Now I know you are supposed to hand them back but well the owner of the house rents it out so we kind of figured there were as much ours as the tenants 
Anyway we only got a few there are tons for them to collect if they want them.
I’ve tried to work out what they are but all my guesses wouldn’t be ripe yet and these are definitely ready. They are crisp very white flesh and a good balance of sweet and sharp.
Suggestions welcome as to their identity
Last week I was at the newly opened Fitzbillies in Cambridge (helping them with numbers stuff)
They sent me home with some of their A-MAZING Chelsea Buns
Exciting *eeeeeeeeee*
NB the eeeeeee is the excited sound that for some reason as kids we made when we had Chelsea buns!!
I found some late English strawberries on offer in the supermarket a couple of weeks ago so I decided to make freezer jam with them
I’ve yet to taste the results but if it retains the taste the berries had it will be wonderful.
