Well folks this won’t be a long post, [now where have I heard that before] as I will be getting ready to go and visit my grand-daughter Sarah and her partner Ross in their new home, this afternoon.
Yesterday I had a baking session, I haven’t done that for a while, I took a fancy to make some pastry for a change, and made a Bakewell tart, it turned out not too bad if I say so myself.
also tried a new sponge recipe, cocoanut and almond, and I topped it with cream cheese and icing sugar, blended with some cocoanut milk, we’ll see what the family say, but guess what? I liked it, I have to do a little taste and try before I offer up my efforts you see.
When I was picking blackberries the other day I got a thorn in my knuckle and it hurts, just thought I’d put that in for a sympathy vote.
The weather to-day is as miserable and grey as my mood, as to-day eight years ago My wonderful gentle Jet left this world to join my other dog jewels. We never had time or opportunity for a hug or to say goodbye, I rushed him to the vet, he disappeared inside in his arms as he was unconscious, and I never saw him again, he died before he could be diagnosed, I don’t know yet to this day what happened, all they said was he’d obviously had a bleed, as his gums were white. ?? after hearing a story from a dog walking friend who’s dog had similar symptoms,though survived due to rat poisoning, who knows. RIP my wonderful boy, you gave me twelve wonderful years.
In the evening I finished watching ‘Roots’ remember the TV series in the 70’s, it has been re worked and most enjoyable, I’ve been watching over a period of four weeks as it’s 11 hours worth of DVD’s well folks I’m off now to get a quick bite to eat and changed .
Catch you all later.
Your granddaughter is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour baking efforts sound delicious. I wish I could be there for a cup of tea and a taste. Have a great visit with your granddaughter and her partner.
Beth if you close your eyes and think real hard, you will be here with me sipping tea and eating tart, nice eh?
DeleteWhat a nice looking couple. She is very pretty. Gloomy weather does tend to put us in a funk. Enjoy your visit.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth and Terry, and though biased I do agree, she has turned out to be a very pretty young lady.
DeleteLovely day with granddaughter and partner , hope you had a great time. Gloomy weather Arlene always heads me the the kitchen cake baking etc. Your Bakewell Tart sound good I have wanted to try this out, always looks very complicated though.

Beth, it's not in the least complicated, I'll post up the recipe for you
DeleteOh the baking sounds so delicious. I can't bake cause I will eat it all. I have no control...
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling Carrie, but I freeze quite a lot and try to ration it out, and if I do succumb, cut down for a couple of days. Life can be so cruel. :-)
