I am looking forward to taking stock and fall! I hope I can get my pantry back to shape like yours. It's gorgeous. Love these recipes. We haven't baked! It's just too hot, but I'll check out Stephen's recipe and the zucchini pizza crust. They look yummy! Hope your August is wonderful! xoxo Kim<br /><br />P.s. What is a pie dragon?

Give yourself a break with the routine of meals, you'll be back at that soon enough, what a lot of work it must have been to shed so many things and make those decisions.

So true about controlling what we can while the world goes mad. Making some use out of nervous energy is pretty smart of us! <br />The pie dragon was purchased in Wales for my Grandma Jean by one of her friends at the town library, she never travelled but she had souvenirs from others and this was one of them. <br />That's funny you've been thinking about that book. Stratford is doing a production this year and I was so sad my rascals are a little old for it now, but I would have gone anyway, if you lived closer we could have gone together. <br />Oh gosh they sound very icy-witchy! xxDaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-1846523297298544862016-08-11T07:21:33.485-04:002016-08-11T07:21:33.485-04:00Janet I think you would love that recipe, I'm ...Janet I think you would love that recipe, I'm sure you have an egg substitute you could use for the crust, I saw something about chia seeds soaked in water to substitute for eggs in recipes like this? xxDaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-2794307524898314122016-08-11T07:19:48.073-04:002016-08-11T07:19:48.073-04:00Heidi sometimes I think I will never finish!

I've gone through every closet, drawer and cupboard in the whole house with the exception of the bedrooms of my daughters, they have to do that themselves the end of the month. I'd love to do it but I'd chuck and donate the wrong things I'm sure.<br />Yes order that edition it's truly lovely. One of our favourites to read to the kids over and over when they were young. xxDaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-65148872022659345952016-08-11T05:35:18.260-04:002016-08-11T05:35:18.260-04:00Well, I have done indeed a lot of organising and s...Well, I have done indeed a lot of organising and sorting with the move. Got ride of tons (I think I could really say literally tons!)of things. Let go of loads of old things to make either just room or room for some new. But the main line was IF anything was brought in it had to be LESS than what has been out.<br />I have a "hard" time to get back to cooking and setting up a routine, weekly menus as I have been out of this for several weeks!<br />But I know I will get there, just the time I find all my marks.<br />We'll have some days off end of the month, but we will use them mainly to really settle in and try to offload all this pressure which has accumulate over the past months.<br />Have a wonderful August.<br />Love<br />StephStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09875277165278285045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-2465691381009505872016-08-10T13:14:11.594-04:002016-08-10T13:14:11.594-04:00Your home looks beautiful.

Most activities are done indoors to avoid the temperatures. Summer is always my tidying and organizing time and the house is looking quite nice. Come fall we'll be wanting to get out and do things and having the house in ship shape will feel very good!<br /><br />Thanks for that link. I'm going to try that soon! Like Heidi, I have a pie bird and have never seen a pie dragon. Its adorable, and so nice for you to have something from your Grandma Jean. I have an old tea pot from my grandma that is a treasured possession.

I think for personalities like yours, mine, and most people around the blogs all share a quality of establishing domestic order in retaliation to a chaotic world. Asserting control is a good thing. How adorable is that pie dragon?! I have two pie birds but I need a dragon now. But I need two because you know I always buy in pairs, thirds, or groups of 25. Everything is looking fab around your house. Do let me know how my cookies turn out for you! Try them with GF flour I'm sure they will be the same. <br />So funny you mention Lion/Witch/Wardrobe! I've been thinking so much about that book lately. Is it the relentless heat? I used these gorgeous little blue and pewter teacups and saucers for ice cream on Monday and thought how they look like they came from the witch's ice castle.

I always do a big clean up in January, but I think around mid-year I start to get a little itchy about decluttering. This was a very soothing post - love the look of your beautiful range and the lovely green pots. <br />I have never seen a pie dragon! I have a pie bird, which was the only sort I'd seen before now. <br />I am definitely going to order that edition of The Lion etc- such a beautiful retro cover. Well, we're heading into Spring here, and I'm definitely feeling like turning out the cupboards. xxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.com
