Fall is finally here!
The smell in the air, the changing colors,
the crispy feeling of the evenings...
everything brings back sweet memories
from another time an other places...
I remember the beach in the Autumn evenings back in Portugal...
Here there is no beach.
Just my backyard, me, and J, and the things I make.
And the cats, of course.
Oh no, I'm not complaining.
I love it here,
as long as J is with me everything still kinda makes sense.
And if I do miss a lot of things
I also just love some other things we don't have there
like Halloween.
That's right!, Halloween is just around the corner...
I still don't know what my grandson wants to be.
Last year he was a knight...:0)
But anyway... I just finished sewing a few halloween baskets.
They are really easy, quick to make and I think quite cute!
Today I also baked some banana bread (used a very common and usual recipe)
and I added some dried sweet cranberries.
The house smells so good!
And also made some bread from scratch (which I have been doing for the last couple of years!).
Today I've decided to bake some rolls (adapted from a french bread recipe) in an atempt to copy the portuguese carcaças which I miss so much
They were really tasty!!!!
My sister just spoiled me with some goodies she sent from Portugal... :0)
(obrigada de novo sister!),
So, for supper tonight, I'll have a carcaça with farinheira... :0)
I love your Halloween baskets, they are adorable! I love the bread too, I'll have to get the recipe from you so I can make some :)

ReplyDeleteThank you!, they are really easy to make and they're cute. Hopefully I'll still have time to send one for "you know who"!
I'm going email you the bread recipe.
