Weekend Update

Snowstorm is over.

After a snowy windy day yesterday the sun is shining today.

I have decided not to talk too much about it after all

This is southeastern Ontario and Yes we do get snowstorms.

I will say thank you to Gpa W for giving HB his snow blower and thanks to a very dear friend John C for overhauling the thing.

It does making the cleaning up process a wee bit better.

I've been working on an afghan for a friend's daughter.

It is a simple granny square and very enjoyable to just pick up and do a couple whenever.

 

I made up a few Valentine's to attach to a couple of goody bags.

I bought small notecards from Michael's and valentine's stickers.

I used my decorative scissors to make fancy cuts to the notes.

Then simply applied the stickers to front.

 

 

Wednesday evening we had friends in for a meal.

Our friends are having a rough week as it is a year ago this week they lost their twin grand babies.

 

 

I made a simple turkey meatloaf but added dried oregano, sundried tomatotoes, and feta.

Served it with garlic mahed potatoes and buttered green beans with toasted almonds.

I also made a gluten free lemon pudding cake.

Well it didn't quite cut it.

So on Saturday I pulled my own recipe for it and replaced the wheat flour with my rice flour mix.

SUCCESS!!

I have read you only need to replace the GF mix for the wheat flour mix in most things.

 

 

Cream 1 TBSP butter with 2 thirds of a cup white sugar.

Add 3 TBSP white flour or flour mix* and juice and zest of one lemon

Beat 2 egg yolks well and add 1 cup of milk

Stiffly beat 2 egg whites in a separate bowl.

Fold egg whites into egg yolk mixture

Butter a small (approximately 6 X 8 or 3 to 4 small ramekins) baking dish with butter.

Pour mixture into dish

Bake @ 350 placing pudding in a dish of hot water (bain marie)

Bake 20 to 30 minutes

 

*The rice flour blend that I used is: 1 cup white rice flour, 1 cup brown rice flour, 2/3 cup potato starch, 1/3 cup tapioca starch.

 

I picked up this lovely little jug in Camrose while visiting.

Oh, you didn't know I collect jugs and I love westerns!
