I call her, Wilma (the washer). I wish you many fun loads ahead of you with your washer.<br /><br />PS: My Mamam (Gram), used the third washer. She used it and used it and used it and when the machine could no longer be fixed, it took her a long time to use the newer Maytag. <br /><br />PPS: Thanks for stopping by today. That's herbal stevia grown in my garden. Or was, before I pulled and dried it. But the stuff that is sold as baker's stevia. Don't even get me started on what I have to say about that crap.

Congratulations on the washing machine. Ours is quite old, but still does a good job. The new machines are a lot more efficient at cleaning and using less water. The poem is a sweet one.

"Clafoutis, ...Sara asked what a clafoutis is:<br /><br />"Clafoutis, also sometimes spelled clafouti, is a baked dessert which originated in the Limousin region of south-central France. Its name, which derives from the word clafir, meaning “to fill,” provides an accurate hint as to its preparation, which involves lining a dish with cherries and then “filling it up” with a batter mixture. A traditional clafoutis is always made with cherries, although many cooks have adapted the dish to center around their favourite fruits or even savoury ingredients. <br />Classified by some as “peasant food,” clafoutis is a simple dish which was created as a way of utilizing a fruit which has historically been abundant in the French region of Limousin: cherries. While the exact date of clafoutis’ invention is not known, the dessert has been popular in Limousin and beyond since the 19th century. As its popularity spread throughout France, many cooks devised altered versions of the dish which allowed them to showcase the produce of their own regions."<br /><br />Words above from here http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-clafoutis.htm#didyouknowout<br /><br />As we live the LCHF lifestyle we adapted the recipe to suit our menu plans,<br />Ingredients are:<br />50 grams of ground almonds<br />1 tablespoon of plain flour<br />250ml of double cream<br />2 egg yolks<br />100 grams of raspberries<br />100 grams of blueberries<br />Serves 4-6<br /><br />See the recipe instructions here<br />http://thelowcarbdiabetic.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/fruit-and-almond-clafoutis-low-carb.html<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-9651978697057681952017-01-30T14:07:47.758+00:002017-01-30T14:07:47.758+00:00Good Morning and Happy Monday!
