My school bag is packed, pencils are sharpened and shoes are shined and ready for tomorrow. Thankfully the sun has shone all day and the garden gave us a last flourish before term starts - these nasturtiums were looking eaten and ropey a few weeks ago but have really perked up - just in time to provide us with a late summer glow!
To take my mind off first day nerves I cooked up yet another batch of courgettes - this time following Patrices recommendation for courgette muffins from the allotment.com site. Thanks for tip Patrice! BH wasnt convinced at first, he's still recovering from my trying to slip him a beetroot brownie ( I know lots of people love 'em but I must have taken a wrong turn on that recipe because mine were shocking!)
I shouldnt have worried because these were very popular - They taste quite treacly which helps and are very moist. I might even give courgette cake a go after this!
Perhaps I'll pack one in my lunch box - thanks to the courgettes I can pass it off as one of my five a day!
Good luck for your first day back! Try not to lose your voice!
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious. I'm sure everyone will be wanting a lunch box filled with goodies like your's. Good luck on your first day back.
ReplyDeleteHope your first day back goes well (and all the other days too). They certainly look very tempting.
ReplyDeleteHope your first day back went well - I am sure once you entered the classroom all was well!
