A small selection of the wonderful posts I have enjoyed and I hope you will head over to read in full.. thanks Sally.

A new series from Carol Taylor – Friday Food Review and this week the expensive but versatile Pine Nut.. apart from detailed information about the pine nut there are some fabulous recipes to try out, including enhancing dishes you already prepare for some extra flavour.

Welcome to Friday Food reviews where I will be covering a different food or product each week and looking at… what are they? where do they grow, what can we substitute them for in a recipe, are they safe to eat, how to store them, how to use them, cook them, anything connected to that food. or product..all the why’s and the wherefores…it will, of course, be mainly my own opinion or a known fact…good or bad…there may even be a tried and tested recipe…or three…

This week it’s…The Pine Nut. 

Head over to discover how to use this small nut to enhance the flavour of your dishes: Carol’s Friday Food Review – Pine Nuts

The next post is from Gwen Plano who reflects on the 70 books she has read during 2021.. some of which I have read but many that I will add to my TBR…

Hello dear blog friends! It’s been quite the year, hasn’t it? If nothing else, 2021 prompted many of us to read more. I’m not a prolific reader, but this past year I enjoyed almost seventy books – non fiction and fiction. Today I’d like to share a few of these blessings with you.

The first four books are ones that deeply touched my soul. Each involves choices, each deals with threat and fear, and importantly, each underscores the resilience of the human spirit.
