Hello there, how are you? Last night I sat reading a book, it had several references to food in it. That made me feel hungry. I often feel like eating or drinking all the food mentioned in novels. From crusty bread and oozing ripe brie to Dubonet or Red Bush tea. Sometimes the mentions are dreadful eg Dubonet... never again, other times I'm loving it all.
How about you, do you want to eat & drink all the things in novels?
On today's 'Five on Friday' I'm showing you 5 foodie things that have happened recently. Please feel free to join me and link your 'Five on Friday' blog post below. Other's can then visit your blog to read your Five on Friday. It doesn't have to be food related.

1) Cinnamon Rolls:: For Christmas morning. I made some egg free ones for Christmas 2023 instead of the usual Brioche Rolls from Aldi. Since making Sourdough Bread, I purchased this cookbook to have a go at other things besides bread and pizza. For Christmas 2024 I had a go at these ones, they were a definite hit.
3) Gluten Free Lemon Shortbread:: I'm used to baking gluten free cakes and biscuits now, though I do eat gluten wheat products. They are less sticky, though modern recipes call for Xanthan gum to be added. This recipe is free of any gums thankfully. Personally I wouldn't want to eat it with any 'Ultra Processed Food' items in it anyway. It is of course more crumbly as it last the gluten to bind it together but I like it.
4) A cross between recipe:: ha ha, this was an experiment to use up the last of the leftover turkey. It's basically a meatloaf, combining two recipes. The first recipe combines 'Bang Bang Chicken' by 'A Little Bit Yummy' (low fodmap and suitable for IBS), with Coronation Chicken. It was delicious, however if I baked it again, I'd add another egg to help it bind better. I only used 1 egg.
5) Christmas meal:: With Mark and Johnny. We're sat with Zoe, the church cleaner and my lovely friend Ann and her good friend Pete. We had a lovely time eating our Christmas Carvery, chatting and pulling crackers with those dreadful jokes. After the meal, we looked around the Garden Centre and purchased some last minute Christmas gifts.
And that's a wrap for today, all food related today. I hope I've not made you too hungry!
In other news, I've been knitting more on the shawl that is to be a gift. Also a flannel/washcloth for the same lady. I'd given her a flannel (pink) that I'd made a while ago, she loved it so much that she's asked for another. This flannel will be green as she likes green... apart from her leather 3 piece suite, there's nothing around her house to show that she likes green, so I was surprised.
I love green a lot and buy lots of green things, from Denby China Crockery to my phone case, some clothes, kitchen cupboard doors etc. My last 2 cars have been green but that's more luck than management!
