I am so envious. I had about 3 cherries on my tree this year. An improvement on the one cherry the year before. I daren't pick them in case the pesky pigeons see me doing itI have a sour Cherrie tree. In small amounts they don't rise my BG. I am going to try those in that recipe.
Yummy.
I have to put netting over it for sure birds and squirrels love them. Our neighbour also has a cherry tree so it helps with cross pollination.I am so envious.

Oh I love Muhammra. Making some for dinner tonight.These frozen courgettes are a bit rubbishNever mind. Here is my aubergine tray bake without the aubergines. Used a tin of artichoke hearts instead. With blobs of spicy muhammara and Lidl garlic soldiers. Fridge cake for later.
I've had no problem in Sainsburys......so far...... only just gotten to like them too so hope I can still get them as I need them..I doubt very much they would freezeLook what I found, thanks to @Avocado Sevenfold...

Rarer than hen's teeth! Customers were being rationed to two packs each - who'd had guessed we'd be panic-buying courgettes?
No aubergines :-(
Supposedly going to be short supplies until April.
Can you tell me what "Golden milk" is please? I've seen it in a few posts and I'm intriguedThanks @Avocado Sevenfold and enjoy your night out and the cake.
B: Jamie's granola dust (very nice)
L: Hummus sandwich, quorn cocktail sausages & hula hoops
D: Pizza & salad
I'm still having golden milk every day; tend to have it before going to bed.
Guilty as charged but I do eat veggie meals as much as "meat" meals...if not more....Today they had courgettes in Tesco .. no limit .. @Avocado Sevenfold
Enjoy the fridge cake .. hope it works out for you , it's lasting me a week these days , but I do have a few good chunks everyday
We will have to set up veggies by mail to each other if this problem continues ..
Bet all the non veggies now want ours lol
Thank you. I shall need to get some turmeric. I believe that the black pepper in the paste is also good for joint inflammation. I have arthritis as well as pre-diabetes so it will be good for me on both counts.....Hi @Sable_Jan
Golden milk is an Asian drink based on turmeric that @Avocado Sevenfold encouraged me to drink. The turmeric is supposed to be good for inflammation and helping insulin sensitivity.
I followed this recipe: http://www.whereismyspoon.co/turmeric-paste-for-golden-milk/ and I mix the paste with warm almond milk.
It's very easy to make.
LOL No look, it's a thing! I didn't make it up!

Hi AB@Avocado Sevenfold - Have you tried the Turmeric Paste in yoghurt at all? I love turmeric, and use it a fair amount in cooking, so I'm curious.
Aaaw where are the photos, missus? lolSo I just made this

"Katfridge" My favourite new word!Today:
B: Jamie's granola dust
L: Veg soup and bread
D: Quorn enchiladas, rice, refried beans & guacamole. Chocolate orange Katfridge cake - very nice, thanks to @Kat100
Interesting, I've started taking turmeric paste and giving it to the dog as well. I'm awaiting a silicon mould to arrive so I can freeze the paste into pill shapesHi ABI haven't tried it in yoghurt, only in warm almond milk.
On the Michael Mosley TV programme about the benefits of turmeric, an experiment found that it was more beneficial when heated with fat. For that reason, I don't think it would be so effective in yoghurt. They are still looking into it though.

"But why did we see changes only in those eating turmeric, not in those taking the same amount as a supplement?
Dr Kirsten Brandt, who is a senior lecturer at Newcastle University and who helped run the experiment, thinks it may have something to do with the way the turmeric was consumed.
"It could be," she told me, "that adding fat or heating it up makes the active ingredients more soluble, which would make it easier for us to absorb the turmeric. It certainly gives us something, to work on, to try to find out exactly what's happening."
Hope the doggy likes it. I keep mine in a jar in the fridge. Lasts for a couple of weeks and is vey quick and handy at breakfast time.Interesting, I've started taking turmeric paste and giving it to the dog as well. I'm awaiting a silicon mould to arrive so I can freeze the paste into pill shapes
