Confession. Not a great lover of Winter. Spring and Summer are my friends. But of course I try to remain positive and think of all the good things Winter brings us. I am sure there are many and maybe you could let me know what they are? Meantime, this is one good reason for me. My coriander grows like wild fire! Here is a bunch I picked from my garden yesterday.

One Good Thing

What about cosiness? It's not so easy to get cosy in the heat of summer. Your coriander looks so fresh!
ReplyDeleteBoots, coats, hats, scarfs, layering, snuggling... yes and coriander! A-M xx
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky, that doesn't happen to me.
ReplyDeleteOh lovely! I want to grow my own garden someday, a big one! :)

I love cilantro! I have such a hard time keeping it going in windowsill pots-- that's great that you have it running rampant :)
ReplyDeleteHere is one of my favorite uses of it: (just made it last night and everyone loved it)

Get caught up in my southern USA world and forget that others are having winter in July! Your coriander looks beautiful! Makes me want to make up some guacamole...
ReplyDeleteMY Birthday!! That is something good winter brings. I do love the cooler weather though but Autumn is probably my favourite season which coincides nicely with Easter...hmmm I sense a trend here.
ReplyDeleteThe other wonderful thing about Winter is Strawberries!!! I love strawberries!!
Birthday Strawberries and champagne! Nothing nicer.
Have a truly scrumptious winter day,

Winter,,I am able to walk on the beach after a storm and pick up treasures brought in by the wild sea,go for a walk without melting.
ReplyDeleteSleep soundly at night without waking tired and drained, being able to dig in the garden without a hat and being able to get the fork into the soil, watching my garden look fresh and come alive. I could go on and on as I love winter. I must add though, as I'm getting older it is becoming harder and harder to get out of bed without creaking.ha ha soooo Maybe just maybe I'm beginning to like spring and autumn better xx
omg I so agree with your thoughts!
ReplyDeletei'm the same as you, not a winter lover..
ReplyDeletebut if i had to love winter for one thing, its the hot chocolate for sure!!!
I am so jealous as my taste buds refuse to like coriander - so disappointing because it is in everything these days. I bet your's would be delicious, (sigh)if only! :)
ReplyDeleteBoa Noite querida!
ReplyDeleteAqui está inverno lindo muito frio, só é ruim levantar pela manhã, Amo o frio, as pessoas são mais lindas, elegantes, cheirosas.Gosto muito da primavera linda, outono tbém , mas verão meu inimigo, tenho alergia do sol, fico com a pele vermelha cheia de bolinhas.
Bjos Carinhosos!

It looks ultra fresh and ultra delicious! Not loving winter down here in Sydney either especially today with wild winds from the south.
ReplyDeleteI love the skiing, warm fire places and beautiful food that Winter brings. But other than that, I'm with you. It's a season to be got through in my opinion. Our houses are not set up for it so I am always cold.
ReplyDeleteThat corriander looks great by the way and it is all about seeing the beauty of everything around us, so good on you!!!!
I'm no fan of winter either. I've just returned to Brisbane from 3 months of hot weather in China, and having a bit of a hard time adjusting! Bring on springtime ..... :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Simone, saw you on the great south east sunday night. Loved your toy store and thought you looked fantastic on TV. Have a great day. Sandy xx
ReplyDeleteOh My sweet friend....I had to chuckle at your comment...I just found the most sweetest little thing that I posted about today....hop on over I know you will want a few to sip your cozy hot chocolate out of on a cold winter's day. xoxoxox HUGS...
ReplyDeleteummm, I love cilantro. I also prefer warm seasons. I can manage a couple of winter months if snow is involved.
ReplyDeleteI thought winter in Brisbane was really nice as it never gets that cold for too long? But I agree Spring and Summer and mid-Autumn are glorious! Looks like you had a wonderful trip! :-)x
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious and so fresh! Oh hot chocolates would have to be a must in winter! xx
ReplyDeleteI love chopping fresh coriander from the garden! Yum! My basil is loving the weather too! We are so lucky.... still growing herbs in winter! X
ReplyDeleteCoriander is among the greatest of all herbs! Not forgetting lavender, basil and mint of course...
ReplyDeleteOh and sage!
:) x
Isn't coriander so much better from the garden than the grocery store?
ReplyDeleteWinter doesn't sound so bad when you can still pick things from your garden! Winter in Canada is a much different thing! I've always loved summer but in Dubai, I can't wait for winter so things will cool down :)
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI went to see the cool stuff on your corner in the smell and give you a friend.
a hug

That looks great. Our garden dies off in the winter, so at least you are still getting fresh goodness.
ReplyDeleteI like winter because it is not hot andthings are a little slower.

Oh my! I live in Montreal, Canada and was just thinking yesterday how MUCH I LOVE summer and how I die when the plants die and our summers are extremely short (if we're lucky 3 months and the rest is very cold and snowy). I wish I could live where coriander grows in winter!! Maybe that is something "good" about winter there. Not everything is dead and buried under the snow :( and I love your blog
ReplyDeleteLooks so healthy & delicious! I just put some in a corn & black bean salad...but I had to buy mine at the grocery store!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Found your blog from the feature in Romantic Homes. I'm excited to be a new follower and visit! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour coriander looks so fresh!
