mmmmm, cheese scones are one of the few things that make me curse having to avoid gluten.  There was a cafe where I used to live that put so much cheese on the top they basically would landside and ended up a messy pile of cheesy yum. 

There is an amazing Brazilian cheese muffin that is made with cassava so gluten free ! My neighbour keeps promising me she will show me how to make them - will report back - they are insanely good 

oh wow is that like the Bolitas that you used to be able to get in Oxford market?  I was so upset when they closed!

Never went there / They are called pao de queijo - had them just again abroad in a Gf Brazilian shop that also made wraps from tapioca beads and Parmesan crust ! 

It was an almost daily pop in and the GF coconut cake was also incredible

cherry sourdough bread
coffee renoir
bath bun

Now I want to know why. And am off to google what coffee renoir is about...

Booths! Choux pastry buns with custard, cream and coffee icing. The ones I had had chocolate covered coffee beans on top

and a rather splendid dark blue canvas bag with 'morecambe and pies' on it

I'm afraid the buns sound filthy to me! The bag though...brilliant!

Swinging by to say hi @redofromstart !!  Congratulations on being mortgage free, that’s a great accomplishment! Hope you’re enjoying your time off work!

Money - too tight to mention this month due to vehicle expenses. Yes I have the savings for it. No I don't like spending them. Could do with joining in the general squeaky budget July.

garden - no more spending although I do have lots of things to plant now that we have had some rain and can use a trowel rather than a pickaxe. Very little from the veg plot but the slugs are rather chubbier.

Food - need to do a freezer and cupboard audit. Today I made choux pastry, glad I still have the knack. Filled with whipped cream, half with coffee icing for me, half with chocolate sauce.

I mustn't fritter on unnecessary things but tomorrow Lidl have an ice cream maker for £13 (with the App). It's one of the ones where you freeze the disc and it basically churns. We had one years back which I used so much that the motor eventually gave up. Mr Redo does eat decent ice cream and I like sorbets so I am tempted. 

Today I must mince the beef skirt before it goes out of date, or make a lot of beef curry. I also promised to make cabbage and chorizo soup as a celebration meal for DS1 (his choice!) using worlds smallest savoy cabbage.
