There is a quail farm in Waubra (a town we can see just off in the distance from our place). I love the little buggers. A nice mouth full of egg. Makes me feel like a giant!
I’ve been waiting three years to pick my first Asparagus, I’ve been holding off from picking juicy looking stalks for years as the word is to leave them for the first three years to allow them to establish themselves. But today I couldn’t help myself, I picked three sweet little stalks. They were so fresh no knife was needed really, most of them snapped right off at the base. I gave them a quick blanch then served them over a grilled eggplant dip I made last night from the last few eggplants left over from the end of summer and autumn. A few boiled quail eggs, all sitting on a beautiful toasted bread from this amazing sweet patisserie that’s based in Creswick, called Le Peche, if you’re passing through town check them out. Man I love living in the country. We have such great food just on our doorstep.
Oh and if you’re looking for something to read in October….this book is coming out……;-)
The book is preordered! Looking forwarded to it. I love living in the country, too! :)
Great cover! Consider it on the shelf. Big congrats.
Dude! You have a book with your frikkin name on it!! How many shades of awesome is that…super congratulations!!! xx

I’m glad you like it!
Wow! It’s nearly here! Great cover image!! Well done.
I know….I took long enough!
Congrats, looks great! On my pre-order list.
Ro! Congratulations! Not only picking your first asparagus but you made a book! I love the cover. Looks awesome.
looks unroool, very exciting times!
Yep….unrool indeed
I’m a bit confused cause the cover I see on amazon is (similar but) different to yours. Did you change it lately? … Anyway, congratulations – and I’ve preordered!
Mouth watering (as usual). Great blog – you’re an inspiration to foodies everywhere.
Can’t wait for the book.
(an I’m with you – f@&k waiting 3 years for asparagus – i’d have sampled it as soon as I could too!!)
Well the sad thing is that I just moved to a new house so I’ll have to plant asparagus again and wait another three years!!!
So very many congratulations on your beautiful asparagus and your new book. I look forward to reading it with pleasure. Your stories are snapshots into the kind of life I strive to lead. Self-sufficiency, reveling in the gifts of nature–these and more I work to improve for such joy is derived from them. Thank you for continually opening my eyes to the possibilities.

Many thanks Kristina!
I’m trying to get to that point of balance between modern living and semi self sufficiency. It’s a bit of extra work, this lifestyle but the rewards out weight the extra work needed.

I was wondering just the other day when the book was happening. Spectacular, just in time for…my birthday…no…Christmas…too early, ah hell, just in time for October!

Well done mate, congratulations. Pre order where??
I should clarify – I’ve seen it on both Amazon and Book Depository (with slightly different cover as per nadel&gabel above). Is there a preference for you where we order it?
Yeah there is an old version of the cover floating around on the interwebs. This one is the real deal and you’ll get this cover not the old version.

Now that is a whole bundle of exciting. The cover looks great, and I’m really looking forward to getting to read it come October.
