A bright start to the festive season…
…with an update of our Christmas Cram.

Sunshine on a Grey Day
Having had a very mild start to November, the month has turned bitterly cold and grey.
It is time to hit back with some colour.
Orange and Lemon Almond Cake
This cake is quite special, being both gluten and dairy-free.
Its topping is a marriage of East and West, being a combination of Korean honey citrus and French marmalades.
Sunrise Citrus Salad
Gochugaru Girl has to get breakfast ready by 6 a.m. this morning.
The only way to really get my eyes open so early in the day is to have a burst of citric acid.
Cranberry and Orange Cram
Gochugaru Girl has the perfect accompaniment to the foods of Christmas.
The problem is what to call it.
Orange, Honey and Ginger Cake
Gochugaru Girl is a bit embarrassed to admit that she made a mistake with her latest cake.
In my desperation to prevent dehydration, I misread the recipe and drank the orange juice instead of putting it in the cake.
Date and Orange Cake
Gochugaru Girl likes bringing home different types of food from her travels.
I was intrigued by a bottle of date and orange jam when supermarket shopping recently.
Carrot and Orange Soup
Gochugaru Girl is not much of a gardener. This is because there is not much of a garden where she lives, close to the centre of London. About the only thing which can be accommodated in the tiny patio is a large tub of herbs. Even then she has to worry about voracious insects that attack the tender leaves with impunity.
If God had put me in the Garden of Eden with the task of working it and keeping it, I wonder if I would have risen to the challenge. I suspect I would have said to Adam that, actually, God had asked him to manage the horticultural side of things. Remember, I am merely his helper*.
