Have you ever made an “impossible pie”? It’s an 80’s classic that is like a quiche BUT it magically makes its own pastry. (That’s the impossible part!) The mum of a high school friend posted the recipe on Facebook during lockdown. I’d never heard of it before then. It’s made with eggs, milk, flour, cheese and salmon. A bit of baking soda. You can also make a sweet version with fruit and coconut flakes. The 80’s recipe I have used tinned peaches. It became my go to recipe in lockdown because it’s perfect for those moments when you don’t know what to cook because you are tired and have no appetite. Very easy to make, it’s delicious and actually tastes better cold so you can bake it early in the day and know you have dinner done, or bake it for dinner and know you have cold leftovers for lunch. I did a tuna version and also found adding Panko bread crumbs worked well. I added flaked almonds on the sweet version I made. I used fresh berries. If you google impossible pie lots of recipes come up.
Oh Pippy, I love these writings so much and have just had a catch up. I love reading them because you have that way of writing that make me go 'hmmmmm yeah' sometimes out loud. Like the bit about the tennis ball showing its innards (like mine!) I think I gasped. I think what I like most of all is rawness and honestly, like generally in life. I like it a lot. I think I just wanted to say that. This year has been gahhhh right! I think I might try to start to walk more but every time I do I end up not feeling my foot all over again and have the back problem. I might keep trying though just out of spite. I never walk the running path anymore because I cant run and the last time I walked it I burst into tears of rage when I suddenly realised that I was really angry about it. But I do love to see all your flower and garden pictures so I reckon if I start walking a completely different way to look at peoples gardens that might make things better! I think I pretty much have my hormones sorted for menopause now but I also think there is this list of stuff about menopause that keeps building up for me (like random things like brain fog, blurred vision, odd funny moments, and just STUFF) And sometimes I feel tickety boo and sometimes I hate everything.

Oooh yes, I remember that feeling of clutter-y-ness in May. Clutter-y-ness happened pre-pandemic, but not being able to escape it made it tricky to deal with! Hope you’re feeling better Pip!
