Sharabelle bakes

I remember sitting on the balcony of our time share apartment in Paris, watching the city wake up.  An old woman going by, still in her slippers carrying fresh baguettes. Some things are universal, my grandma would go to the same baker shop every morning for Buttries (Aberdeen rolls). In Fife where I live now, you'll see people buying there fresh bread rolls with their morning paper. No matter which country you are in around the world, they will have their own form or version of bread and their own daily morning ritual.  I'm both yeast and lactose intolerant. Since my IBS has become worse and new trigger foods discovered and removed from the list of foods I can not longer eat.   It's the simple things I miss.......

I made baked corn fritters on Friday for dinner, which were delicious. I'd originally planned to use my own photo's in the blog, however my Internet keeps on crashing when I try and upload them from my computer.  Bleep Bleep annoying.    1. Food Products made from Corn   My all time favourite food is made from corn, Good old fashion popcorn.  When I had my metal double rail track brace fitted over 5 years ago, I had to give it up.  Giving up fizzy drinks was easier, even with the caffeine withdraw headaches.  Going to the cinema was never the same.....  - Popcorn   made from the dried corn kernels - Corn Flour / Corn starch - Polenta or Grits a porridge made from ground corn This finely or course ground corn is...
