Through my lens ~ guess......

Remember I asked 10 days back about the photo I posted in Through my lens ~ Guess! Yeah.... those are peach pits/seeds! Many thought they were Walnuts, Almonds, Akhrot etc etc...

Only Aparna, Sia and Rachel were able to guess it correctly! Now here is a close up look at these Peach Pits.

My Farm picking has indulged me in many new and different recipes. I loved cooking and serving the new recipes and each one is close to my heart. This ginger peach muffins I made for adorable Yash (my friend's kid) on his birthday. You must have seen him in the farm picking photos I posted previously. I found this recipe very fast, simple and easy.

A day at 'The Farm' picking

Things have been really hectic this month with lot of festivals and celebrations going on. I am late in posting about the farm picking we went 3 weeks back. We and our friends family along with their two adorable and fun loving kids went to the farms near Chester in our neighbourhood. I really had incredible time picking the best of raspberries, blackberries, red currants (lucky to get hold few of them!) and juicy peaches.

I am sharing some of pictures from Farm Picking, enjoy!

Yash: "Let me see how many currant did we pick, Didi!
Can you see me in the back holding a box of berries!"
