Hello Friends!
and we shall have snow rain
or so it is forecast. I shall have to plan my walks carefully, but it is not easy to just go out between showers when you have carers etc calling as you have to be in for them.
This evening's walk was somewhat rushed and hurried too. I don't do "rushed and hurried" very well these days. Not wanting to sound like a broken record, I overdid it yesterday. I think if I'd only gone up to get my prescription and come home, I would have been okay, but no, I had to do everything and then some. So, I slept all day today until 5:00 p.m. Mind, the brisk, northerly wind didn't make it a welcoming prospect to go out, so I held off in the hopes it would ease up. Well, it didn't, and I went with the wind behind me going out but blowing hard and cold in my face on the way back.
On top of that, my phone battery was nearly flat so my photos are thin in the ground tonight too. I had to save it for photos for my WWHM course.
It's a busy day tomorrow, so I don't know what time I will be able to get out, but if it is raining, I doubt I will go as I don't have suitable gear for heavy rain. I do have a very good raincoat but nothing suitable for my feet.
Yesterday I made a quiche, it's the first baking of any kind I have done in a long time, having not been eating properly and relying on popty ping and ready meals. It's Chickpea, Leek and Fresh Garden Herbs.
Here are the few photos I took this evening.
the Hawthorn is starting to open up
Well, short and sweet tonight, I've got to do the blog housekeeping with yesterday's comments, run the dishwasher, put in a load of overnight laundry and then I can get some rest!





Have you come across 'crustless quiche' recipes? Basically quiche without the faff of pastry. No more soggy bottoms! I loaded the crock pot yesterday with chicken casserole. I'm trying to do home-made 'pierce and ping' rather than very salty, very sweet, more expensive bought ones.
ReplyDeleteA short walk is a walk.
Yes, but I'm afraid I love pastry! I cannot be trusted with it, and have been known to cook it up, just a piece of pastry, to nibble on as a snack! Ready meals have been a necessary evil for me, but they are so salty.
DeleteIt was very cold and windy here yesterday too but no rain which we desperately need.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your foxgloves later - there are one or two popping up in my garden this year.
It's the waiting game now for the foxgloves!
DeleteIt has gone cold and I hope you can fit in your walks inbetween showers! The quiche looks very tasty.
ReplyDeleteIt was tasty, and I will have it again.
DeleteI have lost the post I just commented on. Blanket scarf, or a Pashmina? This one is cashmere and would be so warm: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236781908758?_skw=large+shawl+blanket+scarf&itmmeta=01KRBMNKY6G0C7B0A20F1QD55G&hash=item37214d3316:g:xEkAAeSw6wJp7xUa&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xA8rLybNDA4snhmZDiuNMwOLrJ5DZsL9zV7tTBNvNuh5ZXjKnLGqVclc4jTzulBCnPDeEN1%2B0Cnrjv5SUynSjTLUJ%2BQtwu1j5kIeU8XMor%2Fws6Qk9lmDafNBlbuzyes%2BFIRm8Yog0cyyNKzcAU23i%2BTnexWmA40nXEck8fu1KzhEea6kqgSjhrxrUqM9bNUDYJWPBfbncp6WAfUcpTRlS9KjTTZOl9yITJaGQZ6DOHFca%2BCAWauZLLvt3zfwG1Vob9RABJgfApRwy8pkm55WKFd4AexEe0PMjymVM%2FDXhWoSA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6i_1vTCZw

ReplyDeleteYour quiche looks delicious. I haven't made one in a long time and that sounds like a good thing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was good but Mum was the Quiche Queen! If I'm going to do this one again I must take a look at the seasonings.
