Well true to my word I did attempt to make some cranberry muffins and sort of followed a recipe I had downloaded from the web, let’s just say a success it wasn’t, my husband was so disgusted with the results that he actually spat it out! All he saw when he went into the kitchen was a tray of large muffins that had just come out of the oven, I didn’t even know he had tried one until he came into the lounge with a look of horrow on his face muttering – through the mouthful of food – ugh what’s this, before he scarpered up to the bathroom and deposited it in the loo.
So all in all it’s back to the drawing board. The recipe did say they would be dense, that is the understatement of the year, it was like ploughing through a mouthful of sawdust, most unpleasant. I can only liken it to some pasties Andy and I had years and years ago in Cornwall, we had so little money and they looked like a bargain WRONG they were absolutely disgusting but we had to eat them as we had no money left to buy anything else. We didn’t make that mistake again.
Oh well you have to laugh as if you didn’t you would cry, it’s not easy trying to make dairy free/gluten free stuff that tastes normal and it’s a bonus if it tastes nice!

Sounds like just about any of my attempts at baking cakes or whatever, even without them being gluten or dairy free… Thank god my wife does a better job at them than I do.
Anyway: it’s better to try and fail than not to try at all, right?
