Morning all on this frosty morning. I’m offering 6.9 as my BGs have jumped all over the place since I woke just before 7 after a nightmare.
Lovely day with Zara yesterday, after the cold start, TBF it never got much warmer, it was a lovely autumnal day so we went to the park in the morning. In the afternoon we did some baking, she insisted on doing most of it herself with the teeniest tiniest spoon we own, I was trying to cream, beat and fold at the same time. After she coughed and sneezed over the bowl and stuck her fingers in a few times they were ready.
🙄 She insisted on taking them all home for her parents, I didn’t argue!
Today involves more cooking. We’re having a dinner party for six friends in two weeks time. I always do a different country each time, I’ve done Spanish tapas, Indian and latterly Greek. This time I’m doing Italian. I’m experimenting today with a crab and chilli ravioli served with a lemon butter sauce, or I might put the chilli in the butter sauce I haven’t done a lot of pasta, my pasta maker is gathering dust somewhere in the kitchen. Then a chicken risotto to make aranchini and with a white wine sauce, and gnocchi with a homemade pesto. We’ll have this for tea, waste not want not, I’ll make a sun dried focaccia, I did a garlic and rosemary one last week, it was ok but I think I over cooked it so will turn the oven down or reduce the cooking time. I also have a giant cauliflower I picked up on Thursday in a farmers market, I can’t resist a big cauli! I’ll make soup initially then maybe freeze some florets or make a veg curry for the freezer. I’ll see how the time goes. Looking forward to it, I love a cooking day.
Congrats

@Martin.A on your HSs today and to
@rebrascora for yesterday’s.
Here’s the little chef of the family. I even bought her her own pinny to keep at ours.
