Friday Files
Yesterday felt quite normal. It seems a while since things felt that way. It was good and the day went according to plan because the list was not longer than the proverbial arm. I was even done in time to take a photo of some of the wares before shutting up shop. And in day sunlight.
This week's plant-based jar offering: a sweet potato and butternut soup. It's a new recipe and I'm rather happy to have found it. Lovely nutmeg to counter the sweetness of the potato and butternut and combined with the comforting warmth of cinnamon.
New, this week, Moroccan preserved (salt) lemons liberated from their giant jar into which I squashed them over a month ago. I have to play with them, myself. There are plenty.
We still have a lot of winter ahead, but the days are beginning to lengthen. This is our "high" street at 6pm last night. For one who hates the cold and the dark, it was soul food.
This was the other view from the same vantage point: and folk enjoying sundowners and a natter at our local and which was our destination before heading home to supper and bed ahead of the market.
Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
- Join Hive using this link and then join us in the Silver Bloggers' community by clicking on the logo.
Original artwork: @artywink
- lastly, graphics are created using partly my own photographs, images available freely available on @hive.blog and Canva.
That's quite a great reward for work well done
Keep it up

Thank you for participating in #MarketFriday! I appreciate the time and effort that goes into putting a post together for the challenge. It is with great pleasure that I read through and realize how much we have all tried to include things in our world that may be unique to the area. I have learned so much about the different cultures of the world, especially the small things that go unnoticed except by those looking for them. Life is interesting, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. I hope the week has found you healthy and happy, as we all look to prosper in our way of life.
