Great idea to use the poppy seeds - this looks delicious.

I like them too much

How did you know what I was going to make?

Yes, but what are you going to marinade with it?

Oh boy. I'm going to skewer some limes later. Stay tuned.

Lime marinade grilled chicken.

Colleen said she is really enjoying my new hobby.

With @CraigC being the judge and choosing Limes as the ingredient, I'll admit that I was influenced to do this recipe by what I know of his Cajun appeals.

I call this Andouille Lime Bean Soup.

This is not just Cajun spicy, but nice and tart with a sweetness from the Limes (all four of them). I'll have to do this one again some time.

Lime Jaffa Cakes. Like I said earlier, I had plans for my lime marmalade. I've just linked the recipe (to the name) and now I’m just enjoying the fruits of my labor (one fruit, at least).

This seriously is a Jaffa Cake with lime flavor instead of Orange.

Remember limes are the featured ingredient.

Wow! I reckon the idea of a lime jaffa cake could catch on. I think you should think of a new name (not Jaffa) and patent the idea!

I'm thinking Laffa Cake (for Lime Jaffa Cake).

A quick appetizer invention: Lime Sombreros

Well, I suppose they could count as a full meal too.

P'raps that should tell you that maybe your counter top is not the ideal background for food photos...

The colour of my worktops is very plain and nondescript so it is ideal for a background for certain images.

However, I sometimes use the pine kitchen table or one of the kitchen chairs which is easy to relocate outside either onto the front or rear stoep (depending upon the time of day). I also have four different styles of place mats which I use. I used to have a large sheet of gray cardboard which was handy but it became stained in no time.

I was about to renege on this challenge because the price of limes here has escalated over the past week. However, a friend of my wife heard about my dilemma and sent me a few.

Hopefully, I shall get my arse into gear tomorrow.

Oh, and off topic - she also sent us five more ears of corn!
