Welcome to this week’s edition of my weekly roundup of posts…Especially for you just in case you missed a few posts during this last week…we are now into April…Time is marching on…thus far we had some humdingers of storms and the wind certainly hammered one of my curry trees luckily it didn’t break the branches just stretched but like a piece of elastic 2 days later the tree is nearly back to its original glory …isn’t nature wonderful?

Just in case you missed any or love to catch up like I do… snuggle deep be kind to yourselves …I think we all need to do that… get comfy in your favourite corner with your favourite drink tea/coffee or hot chocolate although depending on where in the world you live it could be a glass of wine or two…Cheers!

On the covid front, I am happy to see on the news that many of you are moving out of quarantine and back to something akin to normal life… Here the news is not so good having had a relatively easy ride here with covid… phase 3 has hit us hard and is too close to home for my liking …more restrictions in place and if the figures continue to rise I am guessing, even more, will be put into place…Stay safe and close to home everyone as it has not gone away yet even though many places are open for business I certainly wouldn’t be travelling if I could or encouraging anyone to come here…

Monday Musings and the week ahead…a preview…

Just a slight change to my weekly schedule of posts…

Tuesday Twitterings…from Chef to a doctor…

Tuesday Twitterings is about how a chef trained to become a doctor and combined her knowledge of food with medicine…Wouldn’t it great for everyone’s health if doctors were trained in the benefits of a healthy diet and the true effect on the human body when the diet is deficient…

The Culinary Alphabet …..Series 3… the letter D

With all my A-Z’s I have loved writing them… this one is a tad different as it is the middle letter of a word which means a word must have an odd number of digits so the middle letter can be A for example and it cannot be two words and unless I am really stumped adding an S is frowned on by me…I don’t make it easy on myself, do I? But it is fun and gives the grey matter a workout…

CarolCooks2…Week 10…in my Kitchen…made from scratch…Sourdough Starter…

Who doesn’t love a sourdough loaf or sourdough muffins from the surplus sourdough…No manufactured yeast required just a naturally fermented bread mix…How good is that and all the time you are nurturing and feeding it …it can last forever..it can even be frozen for up to a year…

Arthritis(osteo and gout) are the subject of Sally’s Family Health A-Z …#recommended read

Just looking at that beautiful lotus flower who would have thought how versatile, healthy and tasty it could be? Just click the link and like me, you may be amazed…

Tropical Friday… The Lotus Root…

Like me, you might save Pigs in Blankets for Christmas Dinner and why not… we have to have something special that we only have at Christmas…but that is not the case around the world…and I am not going to argue that one as sausages and bacon are loved around the world…

Do you know That the Pink Moon is not pink at all and how it was named? All is revealed…

Saturday Snippets…24th April 2021…

Well, that’s it for today…Thank you so much for dropping by…see you next week …Love Carol xx
