Dinner of roast vegetables

k3

First cut up some vegetables that you think are starting to look a little tired in the fridge. Aurgbergines, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, onion and garlic are some good things to roast.

k4

Nestle a clove or two of garlic. Scatter some olives. Season well with olive oil, salt, pepper and dried herb of your choice like oregano or basil. Fresh herbs would burn.

k5

Grill for 45 mins to an hour in a hot oven. Finish with crumbled feta and choice of fresh herb: parsley, basil or corriander. Serve with crusty baguette or toasted pita! Dinner in 5 mins prep + 45 mins roasting.

 

On a separate note.. I’ve been using lots of lemongrass products these last few months. I love lemongrass. I think it smells of Asia. Of resorts and sunsets and beaches and spas.

For essential oil to burn, I use Senteurs d’Angkor Lemongrass oil from Cambodia. You can get it at the large Artisans d’Angkor outlets in the airport at Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. This in an oil burner makes me really sleepy and I usually sleep well with this scent in my room.

For something fragrant in the bath I’ve been using A’kin’s Lemongrass shampoo

My latest buy was Lemongrass massage oil, and this by far was the most delicious, potently fragrant massage oil I’ve ever used. From Mt Sapola, they have a new shop at Tampines One.

 

Another by the way, I thought this was a fabulous idea. And beautiful. Made by Quizas. I feel that blogging is a great way to keep in touch with friends, somehow I always feel connected to her by reading her posts. I don’t think Facebook has the same feel, at least for me. Anyway, Quizas, when are you coming over bearing gifts from Italy? :)

    i looove A’kin stuff! more for the way it makes my skin/hair feel than the smell though… am quite neutral about the smell. i think my nose is (unfortunately) used to the synthetic perfumes of supermarket beauty products.
