BOOSCOTTI….BISCOTTI FOR HALLOWEEN!
“Eat, drink and be scary” Author Unknown or Delicious every ‘witch’ way!! Biscotti is on my list of things to try often & it’s something I achieve regularly. The more variety, the merrier. Browsing TWD blogs last week landed me at Gretchen’s blog @ Canela & Camino, where she was playing host to the weeks’ Tuesdays With Dorie. I have now decided to blog hop & try recipes at my own pace rather than join up with more groups because it stresses me out. I find deadlines taking a bit of the fun away sometimes, in addition to the sugar overdose the family is getting. Also, sonny boy has got…

BOOKMARKED ROUNDUP 22…Guest hosting my first event!
“Recipes without the author, without the cuisine to which they were once a living, seamless part, die.” John Thorne I‘m delighted to be playing host to this week’s round-up of BOOKMARKED RECIPES, a wonderful weekly event hosted by Ruth of Ruth’s Kitchen Experiments. When Ruth asked if I was OK to host her baby for a week, I readily said yes. To tell you the truth, I was literally shivering with fear as I’ve never stepped beyond participating in an event! But, Ruth, being as organised as she is, sent her baby with a impeccable list of instructions & a manual, & it’s been a great experience. Thanks for trusting…

BEIGNETS & DONUTS… DELICIOUS FRIED PASTRY
“Anyhow, the hole in the doughnut is at least digestible.” H.L. Mencken YAY for beignets… Was clearing cupboards day-before & found a Krispy Creme donut cap which the kids had picked up in Dallas last year when we were on vacation. The memories of row upon row of delicious looking fresh donuts sailing in front of us suddenly came alive. The freshness of the donuts just off from the conveyor, the warmth & the entire experience was scrumptious. Got to Ruth’s bookmarked round-up & saw Dhhangit’s French Beignets (pronounced ben-yay) posted there with pictures. Providence…something was telling me it was time to make donuts; I’d never heard of beignets before! Recipe…

POPPY IN MY LIME COOKIES…COOKIES WITH ZEST!
“Through the dancing poppies stole A breeze most softly lulling to my soul.” John Keats When we were little girls , many many moons ago, a favourite winter pass-time was to make little dolls out of the bright red poppies that grew in our garden. The petals would fold down to make bright red dresses, & the capsule on top would look just like the head. Gave us hours of fascinating pleasure, whiling away time with silliness of this sort. Cut back to now…a bag of black poppy seeds has been demanding my attention from time to time. In India we get a lot of white poppy seeds, known also…
