I always make very good use of any excess vegetables or fruits that come from her and Prince Giancarlo. Image may be NSFW.

If anyone in Adelaide has excess fruit and or vegetables that they cannot use, please feel free to contact me as it gives me great pleasure in utilizing extra food, minimizing food wastage and you never know when a cake, a casserole or a pasta dish (with excess donated food) comes your way! Image may be NSFW.

A long time pen pal and good friend from overseas sent me this cookbook “just to brighten my day!”

Like Princess What?, Princess Germany knows HOW E-X-C-I-T-E-D I become around all things food and wine and my “niche” is creating and exploring “mini bite” portions of all world cuisines.

HOW cute is this mini cookbook?
Would you THINK this book is only 4 inches (~2.5 centimetres) tall? Image may be NSFW.

Being Irish-American born and bred, I know St. Patrick’s Day is “on its way” and these green shamrock patty pans and shamrock cupcake toppers made their way In My Kitchen, #March 2014.

I’ll let you into a little secret….Princess Svetlana (from Lucky Lemon #Chicken fame) on St. Patrick’s Day will be 50!

Princess Svetlana is my best friend and primary school twin (born in different months lol) and there “may” even be a surprise or two; will have to wait to see what unfolds!

She will SO kill me WHEN she reads this to know she will now is 50 too! Image may be NSFW.

Lastly In My Kitchen, #March 2014 are some “beautifully fresh” homegrown plums Princess What? also shared with me.

I have not had a lot of experience with plums other than to enjoy their juicy and mouthwatering taste or perhaps in a pie?

Do YOU think I have a “plum thumb?”

Have any suggestions on what to make with these plums?

There are so many wonderful recipes floating around in Internet land.
