Home cooking?

I like to get invited to eat other people's home cooking. And I do pretty well actually. But there's no way you can meet everyone you think might know how to cook, so I'm a sucker for a bake sale or similar. If an old lady is making cake, I'll be there... and if you can get me Japanese or Indian housewives, or a bunch of Americans with a grill I'll be in heaven.

With that in mind, Saturday was Great Ashby day. There was a bbq outside that looked a bit rough, and a popcorn vendor who seemed to be eating most of his own wares, but I knew from last year where the treats lay. First off it was cake and tea, available for a charitable donation. I knew I was in for a treat when I saw all the silver hair in the kitchen.

A slice of coffee cake later and I was off to find the Asian Women's society. No curry this year, sadly, but they had a wider selection of finger foods which was a good trade. Pakora, bhaji, samosa and gulab jamun all found their way home with me for Kate and I to snack on later. With summer here and the fete season upon us I'm looking forward to plenty more 'homemades' to come.
