So i thought I would ask everyone, isolating as we are, what foods are you eating, making, or craving. Breakfast, lunch dinner, a movie time snack. Me, I just cant get enough of warm baked soft chocolate chip cookies. MM-MM, and vanilla bean ice cream.With carrot cake. Whats on your top food or goodies list these days. OK, now I'm hungry for apple pie.. Peace, thestormy sunshine:)

Ooh, apple pie that sounds yummy, even better with ice cream. I have just had my breakfast, but now whilst i will be at work i will be thinking of apple pie all day or maybe blackcurrant sponge and custard, steak and jacket potato, oh dear me the list is endless. Right now i have to decide what to have for lunch ha ha

Hello Kitty Cinnamon Rolls are made using yeast, a cake mix, colored sprinkles as a dough base and then you make your cinnamon filling for the middle. My daughter found it through one of her IG accounts she follows and you can find the how to on YouTube. I will put up a post under my acct here with a picture of the first batch. I donโ€™t think I took any of the second batch: Weโ€™ve had shortages in the stores here and when I shopped for the first time (making them for my daughterโ€™s birthday) I couldnโ€™t get a white cake mix so I ended up with a confetti mix and strawberry ๐Ÿ“. The confetti was actually a white cake mix with sprinkles in it already-Bonus!! And it was on sale too. Made a glaze icing the first batch and a coffee flavored buttercream the second.

Thanks so much for the sweet idea. Sprinkles in the mix. Makes the goodies much more colorful, and inviting. I love strawberries, in any form or manner! Happy belated Birthday to your" daughter. Looking forward to your yummy photo. ๐Ÿฐ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿง๐Ÿ’—

We have baked banana bread, beetroot cake (went off piste with the recipe and threw in mixed nuts and 100% organic cocoa power - yum!) Orange cake, apple cider cake, ginger parkin and peanut butter cookies! Soda bread, white bread, whole meal bread, pizza bases all lovingly hand kneaded. (Well weโ€™ve plenty of time on our hands!) Essentially, the contents of the fruit bowl, larder and the fridge have been made into goodies! I bought an ice cream maker for a bit of fun with the kids at the start of lockdown and using cream, eggs and milk from the local farm shop down the road, we have been busy with that too! I chucked in a massive 80% dark chocolate egg into the ice cream mix and it was devine! Off piste again with a made up recipe of fresh ginger, orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla has proved to be a winner! Iโ€™m going to have to get up now and chow down my daily bowl of porridge oats, oat milk, walnuts, local honey and banana to create a soft landing for my daily dose of steroids.....mmm ๐Ÿค”I think they have something to do with all the goodie making and eating recently....notice nothing savoury in the line up above?!! Oh well silver lining and all that! Great post thestormy sunshine! ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿž๐Ÿฅ–๐Ÿฅž๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿงxx

Wow! I take it the fam' are doing the needing of all that bread etc! I made one batch of bread and it was extremely difficult... but v happy with the very worthy outcome (ie wholemeal with sunflower seeds etc). Yum. Can I come round too please! Slurp xx

Yeah - the teens get stuck into the kneading, I find it quite hard work on the hands otherwise! Wouldnโ€™t that be fab? Everyone pile round, sit in the shade or the sun and get stuck into the very naughty ice cream, bread and cakes! Sounds like a country fete! Perhaps we could come in fancy dress and Iโ€™ll get the skittles out! We can definitely do pony rides! ๐Ÿคฃxxx

Hi Storm

Having some trouble eating, but oh my the craving I have are off the chart, especially shopping on line.....just have to watch quantities, which is hard..

Today's indulgence to start with I got a shipment of locally made cheese. The cheesemakers have a large amount due to the closure of so many outlets & restaurants. I wanted to support a local producer & I got so much I can share it with friends & neighbours. It is so fresh & tasty yum yum...

I am now off to make a fluffy carrot cake.

thestormโ€ข in reply tomaggielee

That sounds so gouda-good!! You are in the right spirit to support the local! We here have so many agriculture properties, and sadly, the farmers are dumping product because they have no truk link transports, as so many chain of events changed the workforce of the "from farm to table" drive. They do give a lot out free, and sell to all local businesses, but many of the businesses are mandated closed. Food processing plants are on low push. So, we do support them here. Love the farm fresh foods. So nice you can share with neighbors and friends to! Me to, shopping on line, makes me hungry! Things just look sooo good.. Here's to all our foods, they are great!! Keep the goodies coming maggielee, be safe, shared, and well.Xxx thestormy sunshine:)

Our local Aldi store weโ€™re giving away a pack of hot cross buns to every customer yesterday due to too many even after giving to charity and charity saying no more Thankyou. So much better than waste, and shows what can and should be done at anytime, but good on them ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜€x

What a nice way for food store to share with their community patrenes. Did you eat them yet dear stiff? I agree, There is so much waist that could be put to good use on tables everywhere. Whats for dinner tonight stiff.LOL... keep on cooking, all my peace, love, blessingsXxx thsstormy sunshine:)

stiff19โ€ข in reply tothestorm

I did try one but sadly not for me, I didnโ€™t realise they were rhubarb and custard hot cross buns, ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚ so I left them for my husband and had one of our choc chip caramel hot x buns.

Iโ€™ve not felt well so husband did dinner of beef brisket burger in sesame seed brioche bun salad and new potatoes. Hopefully tomorrow I will make my firecracker chicken with rice and choc fridge cake (thatโ€™s my sons favourite so I will send him a photo ๐Ÿ˜‚) weโ€™re always sending each other photos of whatโ€™s for dinner , he enjoys cooking ๐Ÿ‘ what goodies have you been having? Iโ€™ve fancied soft warm cookie dough cookies ever since you mentioned them ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

We always ask if on a desert island but could have one meal what would it be. So what would would yours be? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Love and best wishes stormy sunshine ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ™๐Ÿค—

O' stiff, you have a wonderful hubby. He cooks!! ๐ŸคฉMine does to, but unless I am down, and out, I cook everyday.. I'm sorry you are unwell, whats going on with you dear stiff. Nice that you share dinner photos with your son, and he is a catch because he cooks too. I am surprised at how many may not cook, or where not shown how to. I our young lives, we all were taught how,. The internet has helped solved that๐Ÿœ, Ok, desert island, meal, mine would be jumbo shrimp with cocktail sauce, lots of them, a steak on the barbie, a tropical salad with balsamic vinegar, apricots ice cream custard with strawberries for dessert. WOW, now I am hungry again!! LOL What would yours be??? sorry about the miss spelled words, my spell check is not working for some reason, maybe its hungry? Let me know how you are doing. All my blessings, feel better love, and peace, thestormy sunshine:๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’–)

Well.... he can cook ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ when pushed, he wouldnโ€™t have got any otherwise ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚ he used to cook a lot but now very rarely and randomly though thatโ€™s not a bad thing ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ heโ€™s not an all rounder in cooking but must admit he makes some lovely bread and Victoria sponge๐Ÿ‘ Yes sadly theyโ€™ve removed a lot of cooking in schools with minimal taught which is a shame as many enjoy it, my daughter did 6-8 weeks of it at school and it was great as she was coming home saying can I cook dinner ๐Ÿฅ˜๐Ÿ˜‚ my son who is much older enjoys it, his girlfriend canโ€™t cook and I think as he was bought up with a lot of home cooking he started himself and enjoys it, only I think heโ€™d like to go home to a nice cooked meal after hard days graft , before the virus heโ€™d still have dinner here a few times a week .

He cooks a nice curry ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ your desert island meal sounds great , I love balsamic vinegar ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹

Iโ€™m not a big fish or meat eater, so mine would be a hot vegetable curry or cheese and potato pie with a lentil Dahl and a pavlova with cream or a fruit salad with ice cream ๐Ÿ˜‹

I donโ€™t know ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ, I get many different symptoms but when they all come together as now it just renders me pretty useless, I think the sun may have set it off, Iโ€™m still trying to work out a cause but felt rough after sun exposure but once my dropped side of face starts to swell it I get painful headaches joint swelling, pains elbows knee ankles, toe cramps bowel urine issues, breathing probs , eye probs ear noises,swollen hands feet abdomen, nausea weird back pains and this time hot red soles of feet and hot red v on chest and nerve burning all over different areas of body and knockout fatigue. If I can push myself to be busy which I canโ€™t always then I muddle through but after any activity I darent stop as pain and stiffness sets in .

I just donโ€™t know what it is , daily odd symptoms I cope but when it all comes together I just struggle. The dry cough I get for weeks then goes then returns is easing now which is great ๐Ÿ‘ but fingers hard and swollen tight again today. Itโ€™s just all too much to be taken seriously, but it is as is.i canโ€™t change what is to fit docs ideas and until virus over and can find a go Iโ€™m stuck, I must admit virus makes me anxious too as I fear if I got it I donโ€™t know without diagnosis if these wretched symptoms would put me at morerisk ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ My husband said when they say people affected or dying with no known per existing medical conditions does that include undiagnosed ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

He asked the other day was I ok, I said no I donโ€™t feel good ,he said no I can see that and thankfully sent me to lie down and yay cooked dinner ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚

Who knows ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ The iron folate, and 2000mcg of vit d not making noticeable difference to anything yet thatโ€™s all my bloods ever show.

Anyway your asking is much appreciated ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ itโ€™s nice to air as we donโ€™t talk about at home ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Nowhere near as bad as your problems so I feel bad griping but this has all been challenging and debilitating for so long, that itโ€™s not nothing either.

Still Iโ€™m writing to you and watching a parent and two juvenile robins in the tree , on an overcast but calm day, so still have things to be thankful for, and bloody hungry after talking of lovely foods ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‚

Omg now the smell of smoked bacon coming from kitchen (hubby) ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Soon be blackberry picking time, so looking forward to that๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป Then some nice jam and crumble ๐Ÿ‘ though my daughter eats as many picking as we bring home ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Hope you and family doing well

Take care love and best wishes and hugs for storm ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™x

Hang on my dear stiff, As I love blackberrys too!! Sounds like you have a happy home, and that is like chicken soup, good all around. I will be making some bone broth for Storm, and our future uses here. We have nothing growing yet, and I believe you are fond of birds to? I have some sweet photos to post for you later,.... You have many symptoms that I get, and some specialists are spinning their heads at me to. I just keep writing them down for future use??? Hopefully your band of pains ,so sorry, and symptoms calm, you know blueberries are great for inflammation. I eat a cup full a day. It seems to help. Funny I pointed out 2 robins in our maple tree out to hubby this morning, a male, and female, looking directly to our kitchen window, Irrerny, a sing of friendship, and hope... Gota go ,dinner time here. Be well my friend, love, thestormy sunshine:)๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ well it could be better but it could be worse ๐Ÿ™ Iโ€™m close with my kids, Iโ€™m enjoying having my daughter at home, missing my son but he moved out to their own place a couple of years ago and weโ€™ve never missed a day texting, and text goodnight every night ever since, even when I see him in normal times .

Ooh yes stormy, apple and blackberry crumble ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‹

Yes, I have gotten a bit down, frustration and anxious a bit I guess but like you say, I just also keep documenting and photographing ๐Ÿ™ˆ

๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿ•Š yes how ironic the robins are both outside our windows a true sign ๐Ÿ™ and you bringing some sunshine in, thatโ€™s not coming in through the window today ๐Ÿ™

Hey thestorm - All that sounds extremely tasty! I have been making bread... and kimchi! The latter stores in the fridge for months so it was done with these times in mind! It' s good for the gut apparently, which I really need help with right now... I posted a pic for you so have a look! Now what I would like........ if only I could get a supermarket online slot, would be some ice cream... but doesn't do me any good any of that kind of stuff.. so probably best I stick with my lush breakkie of canteloup melon, honey, my home made granola and Rachel's coconut organic yoghurt... with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Yum-tastic. Keep safe/well...! Dx
