Thursday

Although the sun was shining today, it was pretty cold and our gas heater is still not working!
Visitors sat in front of the new window hoping the su might warm them! They did say the coffee was really great though!
Karen made our new ginger slice again, this time with some brazil nuts as well as almonds in the base. It is very addicitive and I am sorely tempted every day.
Peter is more interested in the smashies we have added to the menu. I am still working on the ingredients. but the main components are boiled potatoes which are broken into small pieces and then fried in a frying pan with marinated tofu or bacon, depending on ones eating habits, served on a bed of greens with mayo and tomato sauce.
We have also started serving the vegan chocolate cake with hot plums and icecream as a treat for cold days. It has proved a popular treat.
Its been so cold that I feel the need for treats a lot myself!
