Weekly Roundup 29th October-4th November
The overwhelming feeling of the food we were making and eating last week was definitely fun. Some dishes were completely different from anything we’ve had before and others were small twists and none disappointed.

Shortbread Fingers
Recipe from Waitrose Magazine, March 2019 https://www.waitrose.com/home/recipes/recipe_directory/s/shortbread-fingers.html I like to bake when I know there’ll be enough people around to eat whatever I’ve made and we have some carpenters doing some work in our house this week.
