Ugh! to both.

That line really resonates with me, partly because of our climate and partly because of the way I was raised. Always putting things down, up, and by for winter when I was young.

I hate winter and don't celebrate Christmas, but I love all the Christmas food.

Today I am baking Christmas fruit cake which I love. It's nothing like the stuff you can buy. It's loaded with fruit soaked for 2 days in rum, and full of spices. I always make it in September and once a week sprinkle it with rum before wrapping it up again. It is so good by Christmas!

I can't have wheat so this year I am trying it with quinoa flour. Last year I used coconut flour and though it tasted delicious, it was too dry. The year before I used a gluten-free commercial flour which I wasn't crazy about. If this doesn't work, next year I'll try oat flour.W

With quinoa and oat flour, I can pretend it's nutritious.
