@blackemerald1 and @berlinda, you guys rock! People who appreciate fruitcake are OK in my book! This is the one thing that I have that is special to me: my mom's fruitcake recipe that was given to her on my birthday...which makes it an ancient one. It was actually her "adoptive" mother's old family recipe. No corn syrup can be found in that one, like those awful store-bought concoctions they try to pass of as fruitcake. Mine are soaked to the brim in brandy or port...whichever I have on hand. Yum! Yum! Oh! Man! Now I HAVE to make a new batch this year.

Cuban Coffee & Bahn mí (WITH cucumber, coriander, daikon, carrots, etc. this time! ;))

Y’all are crazy. :P I can get behind boozy fruit, but smashing them into a brick just seems like an idea cooked up by someone who’s had a few too many!

Ha! Ha! @Friday, you just gave me a good chuckle! Yeah, if you start out tasting the port or brandy at the beginning of making the fruitcake, it is a much more fun, and maybe that IS why they are so heavy.

had kale and cucumber salad at a friends dinner. lunch: two large bags of coconut flour tortilla chips (total binge) with slaw and greens. breakfast: courgettes, spinach and breadfruit. I looooove breadfruit. Need to have more water for sure - all being well I'll try tomorrow.

Molten sugar with black pepper = loooooooovely to dip strawberries in, or drizzle over :inlove:

Chicken and dumplings, fresh broccoli with Caesar dressing and cashew milk with my meds.

I realized this week that my inner self loves to cook (especially at 3 AM), it is my crushed spirit that dislikes cooking, because it reminds me of all the people who did not like my cooking and made a point of telling me so as often as possible!

Today has been kitchen experimentation day up in here (a.k.a. taste testing day...lol) with hummus, as well as making more salsa and marinara sauce to use up the tomato and pepper harvest.

Three new-to-me kinds of hummus....kalamata olive variety, roasted red pepper variety, and a chocolate/nut butter dessert variety. (finally made some, @berlinda ! yum!)

That dessert hummus rocked my world with some pretzels...and I'm thinking of slicing some bananas and putting a dollop on top and freezing them for frozen sweet treats, too. Mmmm.... The kalamata was my favorite out of the other two, using sliced long red Italian peppers as the dippers.

Supper is going to be marinara sauce served over thread noodles or g/f angel hair pasta with a side salad topped with nasturtium flowers and hummus and a couple of my g/f vegan buns made into garlic bread with vegan cheeze and fresh green onion melted on top.
