November so far
In the garden
The maple trees have shed their leaves, golden yellow and most favorite red.
Off went tomatos, cucumbers and courgettes~
Thank you lots, see you all in a few months, sweet darlings.
The roses, encouraged by the sky's sunny disposition, produce some pretty amazing blooms.
In the spring we planted some vines.
They're tiny and I hope they will survive the winter.
I always wanted to have vines in the garden.
They remind me of my grandpa's estate in the Peloponnese...

Over the weekend we planted lettuce, sprouts and cellery.
Watched
It's almost blasphemy, but... it's even better than #1.
Well done, Pixar!
Gross, but hilarious at times.
Julie Walters and Maggie Smith are perennial favorites.
And the Neville guy, ha! he's my hero!
We have been watching Harry Potter on TV for the past two weeks.
I absolutely loved the films, and I look forward to reading the books.
Cooked*
*Don't forget to use your favorite cuttlery.
I love mine, from Cath Kidston.
The sous-plat, barely seen here, but I'm sure you've noticed in previous posts :) is from French company Les Olivades that we used to stock at the shop.

Penne, cooked, then layered with mushroom, saucage and canned sauce, half tomato, in the middle, one cheese on top.
Add grated cheese and nutmeg. I could smell of nutmeg every day.
On Sunday we cooked some veal with mushrooms in a red wine and tomato sauce.

And a new addition to the gang
Meet Feta, as in feta cheese. Found wandering outside our condo.
"Come in, sweetheart, it's freezing out there".

I like the definition of November! And that penne dish is making me hungry!
