You\u2019re probably wondering what the title of this week\u2019s blog means \u2013 all will be revealed later, but if you love quizzes, keep on reading. First though, is it really only a week since VE Day? This week seems to have flown by in a haze of working at QVC, writing, daily physio and baking, the last of which Dan\u2019s girlfriend, Katie and I have done a lot of this past week.<\/p>\n

We were both busy last Friday morning creating VE Day goodies. I made a broccoli, cheddar and walnut quiche, coconut tarts, apricot jam tarts and some more scones, and Katie made the delicious Victoria sandwich cake, pictured above, decorated with cream and fresh fruit to represent the Union Jack flag. It\u2019s a good job there are four of us to share the eating of these creations and that three of the four of us are regulars in the gym!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Chris also popped round to leave our elderly neighbours some scones and tarts to have with their morning coffee \u2013 we didn\u2019t share the cake though! That batch of baking has cleaned us out of the self-raising flour that Alex Kramer kindly gave me, and we can\u2019t get any more in our local supermarket at the moment, so we\u2019ve turned to recipes that use plain flour instead. Katie made these delicious shortbread biscuits \u2013 I didn\u2019t even know I had that heart-shaped cutter!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I wonder if any of you tried my scone recipe from last week\u2019s blog? They can actually be made using plain flour, you would just add another teaspoon of baking powder.<\/p>\n

Amid all the baking last Friday morning, I suggested to Dan and Katie that they made some bunting. In my mind, I was thinking of simple triangles coloured in red or blue and leaving the third one white, but the two of them got very creative as you can see from this video.<\/p>\n
