Corn Bread, Cup Cakes and Stuffing

1     When we were in Atlanta with my lovely brother and sister-in-law, they cooked us a Thanksgiving dinner which was wonderful and I determined to do one for friends here. Circumstances conspired against me but tomorrow night I am doing a mini Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us. V’s recipe for Cornbread and Chestnut Stuffing called for day old Cornbread so that was my first job this morning.

2    This afternoon I went to a delightful Craft fair at a local hotel. There were so many beautiful handmade items there and it was all in aid of Children in Cornwall to help them realise their dreams. I bought these delicious cupcakes!

3    The Corn bread wasn’t a day old but I prepared the stuffing anyway and it looks delicious. Actually we know it is as V made it for us last month. I think there may be some left over to freeze for Christmas!

Baking, Rock Pooling and Drawing

1   The two big Grandbabies really aren’t babies any more!   J made some cup cakes this morning with very little help, cracking the eggs and doing all the mixing on his own. T enjoyed the results.
