We forgot, or didn't really know, the clocks went back on Saturday night, for some reason they hadn't
been screaming it all over the TV and radio this year with the result that we had no idea. I vaguely remembered hearing something about it during the week but forgot about it. Just as well it is a Sunday. I just wish everything electric or digital would change themselves like the computers and the TV box. I have trouble with my watch every time, I forget what I have to do and it takes me forever to remember. Then I have to go round changing all the clocks in the apartment and Monday in the car too. Of course I haven't mentioned that Sunday being November 5th is Guy Fawkes Day too. Not sure how much that is celebrated in the UK any more. As a youngster I really enjoyed the bonfires and fireworks.
Having posted a picture of the new panels on our balcony railing we are now awaiting the final touches of the smoked glass at the top part of the railings. So much for all the naysayers who didn't think they would be finished this year. Yes, I was one. I think the windows will be cleaned by the super from something I overheard. I do hope so because it isn't a job Matt and I could manage. Sunday was mist and some rain so I am hoping Monday will be dry enough for them to work.
Monday morning we need to get ourselves to the bank to have Matt's signature witnessed on documents to prove to the British pension service that he is still alive and kicking. As I said to Matt this morning, it's odd we have had one or two such requests for him but not for me.
By the way I cooked the Parmesan Roast Potatoes, which I posted in October, for the second time. this time they were fully cooked and we both found them delicious. My bathroom scales weren't so keen on them though. I didn't do any kind of dip as shown in the picture. Just served them with lamb chops and sautéed cabbage which is one of our favourites. Of course Saturday we go the whole hog with wine and dessert so I don't suppose that my scales were keen on that either. Part of me says what does it matter at my age, part of me doesn't want to gain lots of weight.
Today being Monday, hopefully all four of us will be there for bowling and we will maybe win some points. After the last two weeks we need them.
I always enjoy shortbread although rarely eat it at any time other than Christmas/New Year's. These sounded an interesting change. I am not familiar with Coconut Flour but I do like the taste of coconut.
Coconut Flour Shortbread Cookies
Need new holiday cookies to add to the mix? These coconut flour shortbread cookies are deliciously
crowd-pleasing.
1/3 cup coconut flour
4 Tbs grass-fed butter
1 Tbs maple syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs dark chocolate chips (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Cut butter in with the coconut flour using a pastry cutter or two knives, until the butter turns pea-sized.
3. Add in maple syrup and vanilla extract and cream into the dough until a smooth dough is created.
4. Divide dough into eight even amounts. Rolls each piece into a ball, place on a baking sheet, and gently flatten with the back of a fork.
5. Bake for 6-8 minutes, watching carefully so they don’t burn.
6. While the cookies are baking, melt the chocolate chips over a double boiler, or in the microwave on 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour the melted chocolate in a small plastic bag or piping bag. Once the cookies are naked and mostly cooled, drizzle the chocolate over the cookies. Allow the chocolate to harden before enjoying!
