Samosas!


We missed samosa's so much we made our own. Dough and all.....
I'd like to pretend it was all creative and orignial but although we did the hard work we took the receipe from Gordon Ramsey, so rather than re type it all here... the link is www.chanel4.com/food/recipes/chief/gordon-ramsey/gordon-s-curried-chickpeas-samosa-recipe_p_1.hmtl1
My only hint would be work the dough for the full ten minutes and when you are rolling it out, don't give up. It takes a lot of strength and effort to flatten out thin enough but it's worth it in the end :)

Raspberries straight from the garden.
















While the Gardener was out the Quilter has been hard at work in the garden picking the most divine raspberries which made for a delicious desert.

I am sure they would win first place at any county fair!!

For the Quilters Birthday - Hungry Caterpillar Cake!!

For my birthday cake this year the Gardner decided to bring a caterpillar to life - Hungry Caterpillar style!
As you can see the finished product was planned using a drawing based on the book...


















Perfect face - such cute antennas!












The finished product turned out wonderful!! Good enough for a hungry caterpillar to eat!
