And I do too!
I hope the blood tests are fine. I loved so many things on today's blog. I am very unsure about fermenting foods at home. People have been doing it for a long time so why I am so fearful.
ReplyDeleteAt present I am so disappointed with myself. I have something to mail to you...not done, knitting to finish...not done, a baby dress to finish for tomorrow...not done...my bullet journal has not been touched since May. I hope I find my mojo sometime soon.
God bless you all. Hugs too.
OH to be positive I have made my share of the treats for Pip's baby shower tomorrow. Mars bar slice, weet bix slice, Pip has made cup cakes. The sandwich fillings are ready. The big cake needs to be decorated and Pip has her own idea. Sandwiches to be made and scones too.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie, lovely finds again. Im trying to get into doing a bullet journal but I keep forgetting! I'll have a closer look at this one for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWent to see Dunkirk yesterday. It was really moving, although personally I think the real thing would have been a lot, lot worse. The only thing was, at the very beginning of the film my sister in law, who was sitting next to me, jumped sky high and screamed at a really loud explosion and threw her full, hot cup of coffee everywhere! Well I couldn't stop laughing all the way through the film! Fortunately it was the matinee and there wasnt many people in there to disturb, plus it was that loud no-one could hear me!
Good luck with the blood tests. Lots of love xxx
Hi, Marie! Hope all well with your blood tests! :) Oooo... love that pom pom-edged tree skirt--very fun! So pretty is that journal (Beverly Marsh Tumbler). I'm try to go more paper-less... but I still keep a written journal. Great with the foodie focuse here today, Marie. Pickles--I LOVE pickles! It's hard to get cucumbers for pickling here, though. Next year I hope to grow our own. Kefir is very popular here. You can get it in supermarkets, like other dairy products. I personally don't like drinking it, but I use it a lot in baking. I like fermented food--sauerkraut, or kimchee...mmm... Your lasagna looks sooo good--gotta make one weekend soon! That bouque of grape hyacinths and chamomile flowers is sooo sweet... Happy Weekend to you all there! LOVE YOU LOTS! ((LOVE & BIG HUGS))
ReplyDeleteOh Kate I can see the coffee flying etc. It is something I would do.
ReplyDeleteI bought some skyr this week. I won't be repeating the experience.
Love the labels Marie:) So sweet..will print..although I wrapped my gifts last night..my crochet gifts..
ReplyDeleteI have that apple tut..how beautiful..and your lasagna..I LOVE lasagna.
I do like the looks of those bullet journals and had recently heard about them from another blogger. The only journaling I do these days is on my blogs. I don't have time for much of anything else...so much to do so little time. I rarely get half done in a day that I would like to do. I try to choose the most important and go from there. Hope you have a lovely day and the tests go well. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzan! Oh I hope the baby shower goes well! Is sounds like a delicious feast! I have never heard of wheatBix bars? How do you make them? I find I do not have enough hours in the day to do all I would like to get done. In all truth I don't havealso. I am thinking p enough time left in my life to get all that I want to get done done1 god bless! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate! Dunkirk is on our list of films we want to see. Todd's father was at Dunkirk. Thank goodness your SIL didn't burn herself! Love and hugs! Xoxo
Thanks Tracy! I love that tree skirt also. Maybe in Cath Kidston colours? I have never has kefir but my sister makes her own. I can't even get a sour dough starter to grow in our house! I love sauerkraut! My sister makes her own! Love you lots too! Xoxo
Ithuoghy you would like the labels Monique! Xoxo
I know what you mean Pam! So much to do and so little time! I hope you are enjoying your Friday too! Xoxo
Weetbix slice is very easy. I know there is a difference to the shape of weetbix between Aus and UK but I hope it won't make a difference.
ReplyDeleteMelt 125 g butter (I tend to be generous with this). Mix in 3 crushed weetbix (this is about 1 cup I measured it so I could use up the bits the bottom of the bag that no one wanted), 1 cup self raising flour, 3/4 cup of brown sugar ( don't pack firmly. Put it in a lined tray and press down a little. Bake at 170 for 20 minutes. Decorate as you like. I think I will put lemon icing on the thing in the morning as the mars bar slice is chocolatey.
Mars bar slice is easy too. I work it by ratio now but the first recipe I had was this.
Melt three 60g mars bars with 60 grams of butter. Be careful here as it takes a while to become cohesive and poor Pip burnt her last batch. Then mix in three cups of rice bubbles When well mixed press into a lined tray and leave to set. I drizzle darker chocolate over this. Yummy and too sweet.
MAybe you might make these but these were my children's favourites. There were a few more but these are easy and the mars bar slice is always popular.
A day of great finds again, particularly think the pills jars look fun, isn't it funny that we never think of these things, they are so easy...also thank you to Suze for telling us about the wheetabix bars, going to try them, my visitor at the moment has wheetabix for breakfast so there may be some left for me to try out !...hope all went at Dr.this morning...expected rain did not arrive, but went to Chippenham with Mary and Sheila as Sheila is making dinner on Sunday a roast vegetable with feta cheese...tomorrow Mary and I will take her out for lunch and we are going to Lyns for tea......
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for those Suzan! I always have Wheatabix in the house! Xo
ReplyDeleteI somehow missed that you had company Sybil! The Sunday dinner sounds tasty! Enjoy your lunch out tomorrow and tea at Lyons! Xoxo
