In the introduction to her latest book, Food for Sharing Italian Style, Liliana Battle, shares a narrative about watching an elderly couple who were sitting at the table next to her in a restaurant.

'I smiled, and thought how nice it was to see two people well into their eighties still going out...  to enjoy a meal together. Then I watched as they just sat there, not speaking, not even looking at each other. It was almost painful to watch...  but then the waiter came out and placed a plate of food in front of each of them...   they talked, they laughed and they came to life in front of my eyes,' she writes.

I like hearing this, particularly given that my body has been craving blueberries lately, and as such I have a good supply of them in the fridge.

Ricotta with Banana, Strawberry, Honey and Almonds
It's mid October, technically Springtime in Australia and yet there was still a distinct chill in the air biting at my face and ears as we cycled around the local duck ponds this morning. Not surprising, as we had spotted snow on the Brindabella ranges just last weekend.
