Rainy day.... Baking day......

Rainy morning here...  Seems like it will be a good day, to use our spring rhubarb, in baking.  My husband always loves a Rhubarb Pie in the spring.  But after being in hospital, with pancreas, he really has to eat low fat.   Now my homemade crust, is delicious, but it is not low fat.   

So....  I figure I will make him a "little pie."  A galette.  Which is still my pastry...  Still the rhubarb pie filling.   But smaller.  :-)

And with the rest, we can make rhubarb sauce.  To put over other things.

This is a veggie dinner we had recently.  Sauteed mushrooms and squash.  Fiddle Head Ferns.  Fresh asparagus.  :-)

An avacado, pear, and banana, which I had on my island.  Just a pretty little, and healthy little, centerpiece.  :-)

Hope some of you, were able to see the Full Flower Moon last night.  I saw it, on Friday night.  But we were overcast, last night.

reading.... eating.......

one christmas cozy...   one ya book, by a favorite author...   

enjoyed the cozy, with a big country home in the uk, a varied group of guests for the christmas holidays, snowed in of course, and a murder, also of course.  ,-))))

nearly done with the "the fixer"....  as i said above, i really enjoy books by jennifer lynn barnes.  yes, they are ya.  also yes, they are intelligent ya books. 

.

-sigh-  i know i shouldn't even show a pic of a home-made fruitcake.  because everyone goes "aaaahggggggg" at the very word "fruitcake."  but if a spice cake mix has candied fruit and walnuts added to it...   and then, it is pricked all over, and rum is poured on it, often...   it makes a nice little treat in the evening, with a glass of port or harvey's bristol cream.   :-)

.

and this cake mix, was gluten free!  so i can eat it too!  which is even nicer.   :-)

Cure for "no snow"

Temps in the 50's!  Imagine that!  Obviously no snow, in our future.  So I get my snow-fix, by watching Hallmark Ch. Christmas Movies.

 

.

And baking a Mincemeat Pie, while the Hallmark Christmas movies are on.
