Where is our Kiya?

[Horus]

Saying as we have a couple more regular posters with MD & Robbo (which is nice to see ) I have not seen our Kiya about recently are you hiding away in sunny Scotland or busy doing all of Roys jobs for him?

Kiya has be dropping in H. and posted on LLL's thread this morning. I don't think she is snowed in, the weather comes from the other side.

I haven't seen Kiya that much either lately however am gearing up to get a whole bunch of delicious dessert or food photos shots! I figured she has been busy enjoying her new kitchen

Oooh! thinking about it I should have put up a picture and recipe for my baked Cauliflower with cheese sauce, did it last night and it was delicious

Cauliflower - I LOVE cauliflower and since the drop of our dollar cauliflowers here have become like GOLD! Talk expensive! They're like $8 EACH!! Ridiculously priced and have been since Christmas. Jokes are starting to float about that you're going to have to take a mortgage out just to buy a cauliflower!

Same as grapes - they hit $9/pound now too.

Cauliflower WAS usually about $2 - 3 each and grapes usually ranged at $2/pound on sale to $4/pound.

I have been buying 'Extra Large' Cauliflower from Tesco for £1-80p and they were monsters, the last one weighed over 2 Kg without the leaves and it was as white as white could be with tight unblemished florets, it was delicious.

@H - yeah - rub it in!

The falling Canadian dollar compared to the American dollar hasn't helped our food prices here which they're saying have gone up something like 4% overnight ('cept for Cauliflower which seemed to go ridiculously high). Green onions USED to be 3 bunches for $1. Now they're $1/bunch. (Grow my own) Lettuce for any variety was about $1 - 1.50/head - NOW $2.50 is a good buy if you can find it at the price on sale.

BUT I do love cauliflower and it is priced sky high.

Yes I'm here, all is well...............& no not jobs for Roy yet

Most of you have been posting of your gardening, wildlife etc not things I'm really into but, I have been enjoying seeing your pictures on the subjects.

I was just saying yesterday "roll on spring/summer months" & get out & about with my camera again.

[Horus]

Glad to see you are still with us Kiya and as you say, "roll on Spring"

[LovelyLadyLux]

I love spring and can't wait for it to arrive. I truly love the days when I can just walk inside and outside without having to coat up and then grab scarves/hats/mitts/boots.

Won't be long now though - the days are getting longer. We're getting daylight at 5pm now
