{jon + zilla} ~ wedding ~ bethell’s beach, new zealand.

To build a home.

Isn’t that what it’s all about? It hit me in the middle of the reception when I saw Zilla and Jon surrounded by friends and family in the house where Jon grew up. The beautiful house where Jon’s parents had brought up all their children was now the setting for Jon’s wedding.

And it was perfect.

I hope I one day get to experience something like this again. For now I leave you with my impression of this day of days. I hope I managed to capture it well enough.

The lovely blog Polka Dot Bride is featuring this wedding today, head over there for more detailed info.

You have to try the silverbeets

When I was sitting there with Jonathan and Zilla’s families around me, it again hit me what a wonderful job I have. Jac and I had taken a couple of wrong turns out of Auckland and when we finally got to Bethell’s Beach it was getting dark. With the help of the last daylight we found our way to where Zilla and Jonathan were staying. When we arrived they quickly sat us down, poured us a glass of wine and told us dinner was five minutes away.

Zilla’s mother hade prepared a feast and we were invited.

As the lemon chicken was passed around the table someone filled up my glass and within minutes it felt like we were part of the family. After ten I felt like we had made new friends.

“You have to try the silverbeets”, Zilla said and who was I to argue.

The rest of the weekend was nothing short of amazing.

I felt part of something and that something I’m going to have to share here.

I just don’t know where to begin.

Zoe Kamide - Eusebio says its a nice picture of Aunty Zilla and Jon and can he have one please??

March 5, 2010 - 5:53 pm

HelenTurner - Jonas, Your meal was actually tarrogan and preserved lemon unsalted butter and garlic, then verjuice.

You mix up tarrogon leaves, 250 grams unsalted butter and the skins of 2 preserved lemons in the blender.

Put your hand between the skin and the meat of the bird near the legs and work up over the breast and into the legs.Then you stuff the butter tarrogan and lemon mix into the space between the meat and the flesh.

Roast with 2 garlic cloves in the cavity of the bird.

When cooked pour half cup of verjuice over bird and give it another 15 mins.

Let the bird rest for 15 mins then serve.

I heat the juices(pour off fat excess first) and thicken with a couple of desert spoons of corn flower to make the gravy.Cook the potatoes and pumpkin in the same pan.180 degrees for about 1 to 1 half hours.

HelenTurner - Silver beet.

Firstly the silver beet was very fresh from the groom’s mum’s garden.

Secondly use VERY LITTLE water in the pan.Let the water get hot then put the silver beet in and toss it quickly really only to heat it this may only be 30 seconds or so.

For really yummy silver beet take the beets out after 15 secs.Pour off all water except a small portion.Add some chopped garlic and oysrer sauce, and when it is hot put the silver beet back in and turn with clippers a few times then yank it out before it goes all limp and grey.

I can assure you there will be none left on the plate it is delicious.

Above is also good for bok choi which is the asian sweeter version of silver beet.
