Teatime Tidbits

0

I don't have a very sweet tooth. At least, not as a rule.
Nonetheless, the urge to bake came over me this past weekend.






Growing up, these were called Cinnamon Twirls in our house.

A simple tea biscuit recipe, pressed flat, smeared with butter (or margarine) and brown sugar, sprinkled with cinnamon, then rolled, sliced and baked.





You could slice them in half, but my technique has always been to "untwirl" them.
Why change now?



You may be wondering why these tickseed flowers made an appearance.
I thought it was time for a diversion, to "cut the sweet". 

You'd think I'd have enough to nibble on, but the Baking Muse was still calling.



With banana-bread-loving company coming on Monday, I had to bake again. Really!



My house had that warm, homey fragrance on Sunday afternoon.





There is something satisfying about mixing a little of this and a smidgen of that and having something yummy happen.

Remind me to take some long walks this week to counterbalance a double dose of sweetness.




With this afternoon's cuppa, there are choices for teatime tidbits.
Hungry?

Sunday Afternoon

0

Sunday afternoon in the garden.

 Despite the cold, I find
Black-Eyed Susan vines and zuchinni
Spirea blooms
Parlsey
Tickseed
Morning glories
Roses, rose hips and rosemary


If they looked over the back fence they could see it's autumn,
courtesy of my neighbour's huge, glorious tree.
Are the plants confused? 
Don't they know when it's time to ease into a new season?

Or is it me that hasn't quite figured out my new season of life...



I'll mull things over with warm banana bread and hot tea...


This week, I'm linking with Mary at Little Red House for "Mosaic Monday". Drop over to see more collages/mosaics. Here, take some banana bread for both of you!


Many thanks for your visits. They let me know I'm not talking to myself!

Warm Wishes,
Karen
