Winter nom-noms and rediscovered photos

Somehow I forgot to process some photos I took a few weeks back. They were still sitting in the "Photos to sort" folder on my desktop, and the wintry weather today gave me a good excuse to go through them. Here are some of my favourites:

On an unrelated note, oven-baked kumara fries are a delicious winter food. Here is how you make them:

• Scrub the kumara, and chop off any funny looking parts or growths;
• Leave the rest of the skin on;
• Chop it into fries about 1cm x 1cm;
• Spray some oil on a tray;
• Place a layer of kumara fries;
• Spray again with some oil.

Cook at 200°C for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally. Kumara is less dense than potato, so you don't need to pre-cook.

All you need is a little salt, sumac, or sauce to serve. Freakin' awesome.

I'd show you a picture, but we ate them all!
