The weather has
still been great here, only too dry, as the plants and animals would
desperately need some water to drink. I hope that everyone is
remembering to put shallow water bowls to your gardens for hedgehogs
and others, if there is also a dry and hot spell in your area!
There was only one
cloudier day this week, but otherwise it has been hot. I've tried to
stay in the shade, as I'm not too keen of hot weather either. But
it's also good, as I found a bunch of summer clothing that I haven't
been able to wear for ages due to chilly weather last year. They all
feel like new now and my holiday wardrobe is thereby sorted.
So I made these
colourful beetroot falafel the other day. I wish I had made this
falafel mix myself, but no, it is a shop bought new variant with
chickpeas and beetroot. The mix holds together very well when fried
and is easy to shape, so I've bought it a few times now. The
beetroot flavour is present, but it's not too overpowering. This mix
makes a great change to regular falafel, and I'm sure that it would
also make great veggie burgers.

looks delicious - we have cold weather here but not enough rain for the farmers and plants - though there is enough for when we are out and about.
ReplyDeleteOh that's a shame, just the wrong kind of weather, if at least the plants would get enough... I'm a bit worried about this year's crops here, as it's way too dry.
