Yesterday, I used up the four boxes of grey shrimp shells I have stored in the freezer. The recipe I used makes a delicious, simple and frugal shellfish bisque. The cooked and strained shells were then discarded into the trench compost hole I have at the back of the shed. In a few weeks time, the shells plus the other kitchen scraps will be turned into organic fertilizer by Mother Nature.

This afternoon, D and I went to the town of Asper to purchase some geutelingen. Yep, it is that time of the year again for these special pancakes. Yum yum!
