Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Tasty ... I think

I had 5 old organic bananas that had turned black on the outside, in the fridge, and I decided to use them in a banana cake.

I don't have a recipe for gluten free, sugar free banana cake yet, so I decided to use up my old regular flours and make a banana and walnut cake for the boys at the Seat of Knowledge.

They will get a quarter each.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to taste it due to the gluten, but I did have a tiny taste of the lime icing, which was divine.

I think the boys will like ti!  Adoring Husband had a thin sliver and said that he liked it.

I was really looking forward to cooking some recipes from the Topliss recipe book, but I've discovered that the recipes I want to cook, require a special flour mix, which I don't possess.  I'll have to wait til our next trip into town before I can play!

It's 9.30pm and after 2 glasses of wine, I'm feeling very drowsy.

You should be familiar with my short Friday night posts by now :D

Nite all
