Cheesy pofferjes are working well. Now the challenge is not just eating them all myself.
I started off trying to spoon the mix into the tray, but it was a bit labour intensive so I've put the mix in a bag so I can pipe them which is a lot easier and quicker.
These are the ones that made the cut for afternoon tea. There are also lots more for me to snack on, but I'm going to put them in the freezer to stop me eating them all at once.
I've got an abdominal ultrasound too! They were booked up until the end of March, so I guess they are trendy at the moment
Apparently my iron and vitamin D levels are now normal. But my naughty cholesterol levels are too high. Prescription: fish. Oily fish. or fish oil.
To do list for the day:
A fancy cocktail served in a coconut, please.
More tree blood.
Spice sorting turned out to be a lot more effort than I expected, largely because the project kept getting bigger as I went!
But I have now cleaned out and rearranged all the herbs & spices, including freshly grinding a lot of the spices which were close to empty. I was very low on a lot of things and am completely out of ground cinnamon, which hampered my attempt to mix a new batch of mixed spice as well. I now have a shopping list to replace all the things I'm out of.
My pantry is mostly pretty good, there's just a few areas that got a bit out of control, especially the spices. I had a bit much clutter and ended up with bits spread everywhere, then I'd buy more of things because I couldn't find them. And then of course I moved house which just compounded the chaos.
I've got a spot cleared now to store all the bulk stuff (I mostly buy whole spices and grind my own). There are a few things in there I don't really use to get rid of, and most of the older packets are pretty much empty.
Everyone seems to be at the doctors recently!
I get the results from my blood test tomorrow, last time it showed low iron and vit. D, and given I've not been anywhere near as good as I should have been at taking the recommended suplements I expect I will have the same result again.
Yes, it is. It is supposed to smell like that, but it's not something I actually liked. I kept seeing things about how it was really great in egg dishes so I thought I'd give it a try, but I really didn't like it.
I've been sorting out my spices etc. and some of that stuff has been around way too long - expiry dates 8-10 years ago! I think it's time to toss most of it and buy fresh.
I would also like to question my past self as to why she bought so much of so many different types of salt. I have rock salt, ground salt and salt flakes, all with iodised and non-iodised versions. Plus pink salt and black salt. The only saving grace is that salt doesn't go off. Although the black salt smells like it has and I haven't liked any of the uses recommended for it, so I've made the executive decision to toss that one out. Now I only have 7 different types of salt to manage!
Any time's fine with me, you'll just need to clear it with Mr Woof first, as he's in charge of security.
