I know it isn't Monday, I might not have been writing down the gifts I have been enjoying the last few weeks, but I have been counting them:
152. Making cupcakes for a picnic with friends.
153. Trombone enthusiasm (practising Christmas carols).
154. Home-made beading onto a fairtrade cotton t-shirt for my mother.
155. Home-grown strawberries.
156. Unexpected growth in the garden.
157. Seedlings sprouting.
158. A trip to the theatre with friends.
159. My girls enjoying some time together.
160. A pattern found to make a fairtrade cotton dishcloth.
161. My first ever home-baked cheesecake, home-grown rhubarb and ginger - mmmm.
162. More beading completed.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWOW! No wonder you haven't had time to start the stitchery project! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always the right time to count our blessings!
ReplyDeleteI love the dishcloth--simply beautiful!
And I am "green with envy" (to quote Shakespeare's Othello) over your trip to the Globe--a dream of mine!!!
I never would have thought to put rhubarb and ginger on a cheesecake. Is that a distinctly English cheesecake topping?
In the US, we usually use berries on top of cheesecake: blueberries and strawberries being the most prevalent. My husband makes a killer lemon cheesecake with blueberry sauce that is *incredible.*
Love your list, Jane! :)
Thanks for your comments ladies. Susanne, the rhubarb and ginger cheesecake was a recipe found in a magazine - I had never heard of it before - rhubarb is totally in season here at the moment and it grows prolifically! Marrying rhubarb and ginger is very common here. OOOh lemon cheesecake - any chance of the recipe?
