Let It Go...

I have to let go of the guilt, the guilt of living in a full figure, the guilt of having a sweet tooth!
I love sweet, I hate bitter. Everyday is a struggle to not eat sweet.
It comes to a point, after days and days of not eating sweet I splurge on sweet.
So, quite by accident I found an impressive blog called frugalfeeding.  I was searching for a meal makeover using leftover veal and found this and it lead me to this.  I figured I don't need to feel too guilty about eating sweet when there's like a total of 50g of added sugar in the whole recipe. (I skipped the sugar-sprinkle-while-warm).  The currants add their own level of sweetness.  
I turned these into a gluten free treat by substituting the plain flour with gluten free flour (Orgran Brand) with no problems at all.  They were sooo easy to make. 

I'm enjoying these right now with a cup of Earl Grey tea.

Crop & Swap

Saturday 12th November, Inaugural Meeting Of Crop & Swap, Faulconbridge NSW.

A big thank you to Jo & Joe!

Here is what I took (or some of it at least) 

Broad beans, herbs, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, bay leaves.

Potted herbs.

Sprouted adzuki beans and live silkworms!

Here is Joe giving the inauguration speech!

And below are some of the goodies I came home with, nom, nom, nom!

Kombucha

Daikon

I made a salad with all of this produce for birthday lunch at my sister's.

Birthday for Second Son, (38 already!!!)and Second Youngest Niece (13).

It's amazing how much more appetizing home grown and fresh is!!!!!

Sorry no pictures of resulting salad...no time, gobbled all up before a chance for photo-shoot(!!).

Also brought home basil, eggs, mushrooms, cookies, sage, well, I really believe I came home with more than I went with.

Priceless...the experience of satisfaction at being able to contribute to the household pantry without exchanging one cent!

Can't wait for next Crop & Swap.

Marble Choc Cookies

Yesterday afternoon, my Daughter and Grand Daughter made some yummy Marble Choc Cookies substituting gluten free flour for the plain flour.

I think they taste delishh! Some yummy comfort food for the cold weather we've been experiencing.
