Food, Fun and Flowers







Master T made this "Impossible" Coconut Pie (without the almonds) as a contribution to McChef Magazine. This is the second time he has made this recipe, the first baking disappeared too quickly to be photographed. It was very delicious and easy to make, however I have requested no more sweet foods, time to choose some new healthy main meals.



















Glimpses of the last few days at our place......
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

  5. Master T didn't know where to start with presentation and had to go off to hockey training so I stepped in to "plate up". Was quite fun, so was the eating afterwards!

  6. Śliczne kwiatki rosną u Was zimą. Ciastko smakowicie wygląda. Dzieci maja sporo zabawy skacząc wszystkie przez skakankę. Urocze zdjęcia z ich wyczynów. Pozdrawiam.
    Beautiful flowers you grow in the winter. The cake looks delicious. Children have a lot of fun all by jumping rope. Cute pictures of their exploits. Yours.

  44. Mercy, that pie looks outstanding! I love coconut pie but have not had any in years. This makes me want some in the worst kind of way.

    There you go posting pictures of GOD's beauty. You do capture it so well in that flower.

    I remember playing jump rope, those were good times when kids got out and played hard.

  56. Miss 12 could make sweet things for the rest of her life I think;) She collects recipes for her own magazines and I think she may have only a couple of pages of savoury compared to books of sweet recipes. Love the photo of your children all skipping together:)
