Double Poppies!
These grew as weeds in our garden this err... last year and were so incredibly pretty (which is why I love them) that I saved a whole load of seeds to grow them this year (I hope).
I think they are sometimes called a Peony Poppy.
My recent post Menu Plan Monday December 31

Ignore 'em Pippa <3 I always figure that if someone doesn't plan their veggies on their weekly menu post that they're either seeing what the garden has to offer, seeing what's on special at the supermarket/farmer's market or what needs using up in the freezer. It's a meal plan not a detailed agenda of exactly what is going on the plate and if someone can't deal with that then boo sucks to 'em. If they need to tweet and fb then let them, feel pity that their own life is so boring and controlled that they need to tweet and fb that someone hasn't detailed what fruits and/or veggies they may be feeding their children.

If you can't not say anything back (you are human after all) then point out that there are extreme diets which are healthy and safe when used properly such as the ketongenic diet which is a high fat, low carb diet featured on the Food Hospital http://foodhospital.channel4.com/

Anyway, you might already know this and probably already do it... When using butter for your dumplings (or whatever fat you choose to use) freeze it first then grate it (like cheese) and toss it in a gluten free flour, then use just like boxed suet.

My fave filling is the cherry one especially if it's also filled with cherry liquer - Yum! Closely followed by caramel fillings =)

I agree with Master Frugal - I prefer my toads out of their holes too as the Yorkie pud cooks better (in my opinion anyway).

My recent post Five Question Friday – December 14

Sounds like a yummy week at AMR =) I LOVE broccoli and just wish i could persuade hubby that it really isn't evil nasty tasting stuff too.

As for portions of fruit and veg I think we manage pretty well - a standard meal "base" for the two of us is onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes and often pineapple - which typically gets 4 of our 5 a day into one meal. Add in side salads, any veggies served with lunch/dinner and any fruit eaten during the day and we're past our 5 and into bonuses =)

Definitely a driving experience for my hubby as it's his birthday this weekend. Maybe a Ferrari supercar experience or an Ariel Atom Thrill..
