pistachio

Pistachio, orange and lemon cake looking very plump and tempting on display today complete with white zest icing adorned with pistachios. So that was lunch! I am finding cake sitting happily irresistible. Wherever they appear I simply find pistachios intriguing, little jewels, a bit like my fascination with pomegranates. The tree originated in Persia but now grows in many Middle Eastern countries, Europe and Amercia.  There are only two nuts mentioned in the bible and the pistachio is one of them.

Meanwhile in village life, an elderly mother died.  And my Dad baked his specialty fielders cornflour sponge for her family.  And a baby was born in the early hours of the morn.

Be your own kind of beautiful dahling!
