I have gf bread, gf pasta, biscuits and crackers. I have many replacement gf foods but they rarely taste like the foods they are trying to replace. They often look right or feel right but rarely taste right. But these little beauties, made by my own freckled hands actually taste like choux pastry. The texture isn't perfect (yet) but lets face it, food is primarily about flavour.
Meringues in the oven and soup already made for tomorrows little dinner party. Just a simple affair. Mushroom pate and chicken liver pate with crackers, spicy hot pot soup (i'm undecided to do as it says and serve with rice as i don't have bread - but it is an early dinner so perhaps i don't need it) and of course, half the reason for having folks over - desert of individual meringues with summer fruit (like i have with the choux above) and whipped cream.
It has just occurred to me that i have to prep for my first triathlon on Thursday. I leave after work on Friday to Leeds for my grans 90th - i'm staying over night with Alison and her boyfriend. And i will most likely get back late on Saturday. And the clocks go forward so have to make sure i am in bed in plenty of time. Its a 2hr drive and i need to be there early! Geez, I just worked it out. I have to set off at 6am. Which is really 5am. Yeah, i won't be getting back late on Saturday then, nor will i be getting much sleep - too many nerves.
