I'm not interested in sport at all so, for me, yesterday was a day to enjoy other things. Glad you liked the photos.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-74600658036500971682014-11-05T14:08:34.973+11:002014-11-05T14:08:34.973+11:00The biscuits look delicious.

Turns out thise thoughts were warranted what with the disasterous and distressing results. Staying at home in my garden with my five fur babjes was a much hapoier experience. Loved the photos.Travellin' Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06286703342642772792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-72799848165062295882014-11-05T08:15:05.993+11:002014-11-05T08:15:05.993+11:00I've gone a bit almond mad at the moment as I&...I've gone a bit almond mad at the moment as I'm also making my own almond milk. It's lovely in porridge. The almond butter seemed to have the same consistency as peanut butter but the mixture was quite different. I think the biscuits will be chewy rather than crunchy. Have to wait until morning tea for the verdict! Lucky's already started chewing on the roses but at least I got a photo before she got started.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-59156657381410733652014-11-05T06:38:49.263+11:002014-11-05T06:38:49.263+11:00Gosh you have been busy ..the photos of the Roses ...Gosh you have been busy ..the photos of the Roses are so lovely I can almost smell their scent! <br />We make an almond marzipan/butter and use it instead of cinnamon in cinnamon rolls (chelsea buns) very yummy. It's fun experimenting even if the results can be a little unpredictable :0) <br />It's lovely to think of gardens growing and flowering as we enter our cold dark season.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003915263556622215noreply@blogger.com
