Doesn’t happen often. But I’m speechless 😶. #requiem #adlfest

Look at us all with our dad, Owen Joseph Tucker, (1925-1999). We lost him 21 years ago today. This picture was pre #6 child, Joni. Memories of a sunny Sunday in Satellite Beach, Florida, circa 1963. Dad worked for the space program and it could definitely be said he had #therightstuff.

Adelaide Fringe vibe. #adlfringe #gluttonyfringe #gardenofunearthlydelights #rundlestreet #adelaidealive

Our first Adelaide Fringe show of the festival season done. Poignant, funny, a little sad and perfectly delivered by Tracy Crisp. @tracycrispadelaide @adlfringe #adlfringe

What a great honour to be serenaded by Latvian choir ‘Balsis ‘ last evening. The singers had a relaxed final evening in Australia with host families to end their three week tour. It was a beautiful Adelaide summer evening that took me back to #midsummer in #Latvia. We could have been at a #Līgo / #Jāņi day celebration. Paldies @youthchoirbalsis. #balsisaust #al58kd

Yesterday evening Roo got his Latvian mojo going and made Sklandrausis, a traditional Latvian dish which originated in Kurzeme, the western part of modern-day Latvia. It is a potato and carrot filled, rye pastry tart. Ours is baked with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of caraway seed on top. I love the rustic look of the hand-formed crust and the half sweet - half savoury flavour of the filling. The pastry makes me think of Raku pottery. Best eaten room temperature with tea or milk. #latvianfood @roobekeris #keeneater

Little Speedy Gonzalez has been getting a lot of attention lately because of his medical issues. His latest spot is curled on a kitchen stool so he can be near us in the morning. His brother José has been very understanding and sweet. I love him in the second picture relaxing in the gentle afternoon sun. #catstagram #gingergram #mexicats #felinediabetessucks

This was the finished dish made with our own zucchini. We had never made a Zucchini Parmigiana until after I visited @cookingexperiencelecce in 2017 while studying Italian with #sislecce. Chef Gianna said when eggplant is not yet in season, it’s just as good to use zucchini. So we did. #zucchiniparmigiana #homegrown #italianfood #keeneater

Grilled zucchini from our patch in the community garden with some leftover sugo, local bocconcini, my homemade pesto and a generous grating of Grana Padana Parmesan for a light summer supper. The wine is a Barossa Grenache Mataro Cinsault. Thanks for this meal @roobekeris. #keeneater
