FOR TODAY, October 23, 2018
Outside my window ...
Its cold and dark. No birds singing. Just silence . . .
I am thinking ...
Everyone we meet is fighting a battle we know nothing about. Be kinder. Stop judging. Just love.
In the kitchen ...
Broccoli, Cauliflower Cheese and Spinach Pie. SCRUMPTIOUSLY tasty!
On my "To Cook" list ...
Chocolate Babka from Reform Judaism. This looks sooooooo good!
Good to know ...
From She Tried What.
I am creating ...
In The Loop Knitting. This would make a great gift for the Trekkie in your life!
A Plethora of crochet patterns from tea cosies to blankets, coasters, trivets and lace hanky edgings. Sara London Crochet.

Kudzu Shawl, Rachel Henry on Ravelry.
Food, Folks & Fun. Free Fonts. I love fonts.
Tip Buzz. Apple Pie Tacos. I am making some tonight at my RS Demo on Flat Breads.
I am reading ...
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, by Gail Honeyman
One simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor has built around herself. Now she must learn how to navigate the world that everyone else seems to take for granted – while searching for the courage to face the dark corners she’s avoided all her life. Change can be good. Change can be bad. But surely any change is better than… fine?
I am really enjoying this! I find myself looking forward to getting stuck into it each evening. I am about 3/4 of the way through now.
Looking Forward To ...
I should be but I am kinda not, looking forward to having a set of Missionaries over for lunch on Friday. One of them has all sorts of allergies so I am in a bit of a conundrum as to what to serve.
Dreaming About ...
White flocked cotton . . .
Tres chic . . .
Love, love, love . . .
Tres lacy . . .
Gathering flowers . .
Something to watch ...
The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix. Spoooooooooky!
Makes me smile ...
I really can . . . its the smell of frozen ozone in the air . . .

And I do too!
Speaking as an allergy person...I am sure your guest will not want you to trouble yourself overly much...but often for us, the best thing is going quite simple and using as few ingredients as one can...find out what the main things are he has to avoid, then plan from there. It is not too hard today to avoid some kinds of allergies as there is more ready-made things to use too. Often if it is gluten, then one can head towards the Mexican kinds of foods, and if dairy, there is lots of substitutes in our area at least. Often however, I just cook things that do not require much substituting...as nothing beats most of the allergy stuff generally anyway. I hope it goes well...but yes indeed it is HARD!! I am beginning plans for Thanksgiving week when my daughter comes...some of her allergies are more difficult to avoid than my own...told the hubby who eats generally everything that we can just eat however she needs to as it won't kill us for one week!! He agreed.

Its a IBS Fodmap thingie, so I am just going to roast some chicken and have some vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and turnips, with berries and dairy free yogurt for dessert! Hoping that will be alright! xoxo
DeleteI am not totally familiar with that issue...but berries can be an irritant to some kinds of gut problems...otherwise sounds very nice and yummy!! Hope it goes well...I am sure it will taste good at any rate!!

We have just had to cancel as I can't afford to go out and buy more food this week. Is a shame but I will just have to reschedule them. :-(
