Peter Rabbit and good food finds...



                                    

Looks like one of my daughter's bunnies has become a house pet. I'll have to ask if she's calling him "Peter"...


almond crescents


If you don't recognize these, they are almond crescents... made without flour - so are gluten free. I love these and just found them again at Whole Foods near us. 

I also found that sourdough bread is OK for me to eat even though it is not gluten free. I'm not sure exactly why this is true, but a friend told me this and it seems to work. Since we eat artisan bread with lots of real butter with our coffee or tea most mornings, this has been a revelation. However, I have discovered that there are many versions of sourdough bread... and the one made at Whole Foods is one of my favorites. It is called sourdough boule.




Next is a short video of the kittens coming in to eat in the back.  They are getting big... maybe 6 months plus?

That's it for today. Weather is still bouncing back from cold to warm, but hopefully spring is finally here to stay. 

My weird bp problem lasted about a week... and now has subsided again ??  Why?? Don't know... maybe stress (there was a lot going on, but I didn't feel especially stressed). Anyway, sleeping without waking up with the pounding heart and high bp this week. (Hurray!)

  2. I'm a cake and bread lover of old, being raised in my grandmother's bakery is what I blame it on :)
    Precious rabbit, ironically we watched Peter Rabbit with Beatrix Potter just yesterday.
    Sweet little kitties !

    1. Thanks, Olga. It seems to be one of the weird things that may come with old age...

    1. DJan, at our age, it will probably always be 'something'... but watching the kittens play in the yard is good therapy.

  6. Getting a good night's sleep is the key to being well maybe? Hope it continues.
    Love Peter!
    And any kind of bread is my downfall!!

    1. I agree that a good night's sleep is important... and bread would be a hard thing to give up completely.

  7. I spent several hours canoeing early this week and my back took two days to recover. It is age and rusty joints! All of that bread and crescents looks so good but I am really trying to keep my carbs to just a couple of meals.

    1. Canoeing sounds like fun, Tabor. We did it once on the Brazos River years ago... when the kids were young. As for the bread and crescents... bread every morning, but almond crescents only occasionally.
