tree cutter-15976

 

They were out trimming branches from growing into the power lines again and this time I actually got to see them doing it.

I chatted with the operator for a minute. I told him how it looked like it wouldn’t be any fun on a steep hillside. He said there have been times that he’s had to use his winch on the back to lower himself down a steep hill  just reach the branches and then pull himself back up.

chocolate chip beet cake -16030

 

This gluten-free Chocolate chip Beet Cake came about unintentionally today.

It is a rooty little cake, made with beets, potato starch, garbanzo an rice flour.

I only used one beet but grated them both because I wasn’t sure how much grated beet I would get.

Peel the beets.

Grate the beets.

Squeeze out the excess juice.

cream butter and sugar together.

add eggs.

Now for the flours. This is potato starch, I can’t remember if I’ve ever used it before.

Garbanzo bean flour.

Add baking powder and not quite as much xanthan gum as I did.

Mix together.

fold in.

It is pink!

Then after baking one test cookie that spread out for miles across the pan decide to add some rice flour

and more sugar.

Then pour into a greased pan and call it a cake.

Yeah, cake, why not?

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until done. Done is just a little less time than I baked mine, mine is a little dryer than I like.

If you like, make pink frosting using some of the remaining beet juice. it would look great on this cake.

  But I prefer naked cakes – that’s what I say when I don’t want to make frosting.

dixie lee garden center-15667

 

I stopped at what used to be called Dixie Lee garden center  and now I think is just called Junction Garden center, today for blue pansies and really to see what they had this year...

And then hanging up was some very interesting purple flowering plant. I never bothered to read it’s name, I was in too much of a hurry to look at everything else they had.

Under the tables were impatiens hiding from the sun.

Behind Piggie I spotted pickled eggs. There was so much I hardly knew which way to turn.

If it all didn’t look like it tasted so good it might’ve been easier to walk around in some systematic order.

Peaches and cherries!! Yes please.
