Bacon-wrapped Pork Sausages with Sweet, Sticky Apple
Having grown up in the southern hemisphere, I have gotten used to how hectic the New Year can be. It’s as if everything starts anew when the old year ticks on to the next. After gluttonous Christmas dinners, we pick ourselves up from our creaking, tired couches, haul our heavier bodies to the starting point, take a deep breath in, get on our marks, get set and GO by January the 3rd. Up here things work a bit differently. For a start schools open in September as well as a lot of other hobby clubs, like for example my photography club. Gabriel’s playgroup started too and with the tonnes of photos I take of him and all the other children every week, my time is permanently eaten by post photo processing. On top of that my parents came to stay for a week and since their visit takes top priority, everything else was left to gather dust in the meantime. Fear not, my dear readers, things are slowly being straightened out in the household and I’ll try my best to post regularly again. Thanks for all your support the past 2 years!

Pork on pork – I love it! I grew up eating pan-fried sausages, into which pan my mom would toss some cored slices of apple to caramelise – “worsies met appelringe” was a childhood favourite of mine. This lokks like a great updated take on the food of childhood. It’s been good getting to know you over the past 2 years
