I don't know where we're going, but I know where I am (part 9)

So, trained out my back garden.

Luckily I love the outdoors and work and train outdoors winter and summer, so I hit the TRX straps and kettle bells.

So my training photo and my wind up hat



'Keeping Makikomi great' (I know who this will wind up :P )

Cooked some turkey, didn't walk poor ol' Richo (who has cabin fever) and now going to settle down to some Netflix.

Mood is great tonight, feeling a lot more optimistic than I have over the last few days when anxiety was frying my nerves.

Time for Ozark

I am back friends. What a day! First off, the curnie cake was a roaring success - even though I made it vegan and didn't tell a soul. My dad came round just as it came out of the oven and naturally, he consumed half of it straight away. My Mammy reports the rest was gone by 4pm... I had one slice haha! I am delighted though, I worry about the two of them right now so much I am glad to deliver any joy in any form (curnie or not!)

However, I fear now I have set precedent and cakes will be expected every time he comes 'round haha!

Anything exciting happen while I was gone? P.s. I am in the Midwest Widders, did you see the sky tonight?!

Ehh sorry but under new ehhh boards rules you're gonna need to ehhh...make more of those cakes and we'll be your test tasters 🙄 so get baking please

Talking of cookies and ingredients I'm looking for suggestions as to what could be made using two ingredients that I have an excess of :

1. Gluten free white bread flour mix
2. Jars of christmas mince

@Trig, is there a decent kitchen with an Aga in the house ?

You can make some awesome museli bars - oats, dates, honey/maple syrup, your mince mix and some nuts. Whir in a blender and form bars before putting in the fridge to set. OMG you could also dip half in melted chocolate if you have some...!

Rice pudding, with a twist? YUMM!

Apple crumble with the mince, at least you could use the bread flour too, although I haven't used it much I don't know how well it would work with a crumble.

Curnie cake/scones are always a winner. A L W A Y S !

Must try bread mix with shortening and see if it makes a crumble - Mince crumble - heh!

( come to think of it I wonder if the breadmix could be a base for pastry ? )

A lot of online bookstores have free books, if they are past a certain age you can download them for free, might be old books, but some great classics are free, I know this from my reading addict Mrs. Don't know if this is any help Purple but if it is good luck.
Watching TV and having a cuppa, time for bed soon goodnight all.
