Watermelon Rose Fizz
I know I said that last week was my final summery drink recipe, but this week I recreated a watermelon drink I made back in July and wanted to share it. This is another simple one, but it’s fun and good so I’m going to walk you through it. Also, watermelon juice is available from a few different brands year-round, so while this is summery in essence, it isn’t relegated to any specific seasonal enjoyment. I juiced this watermelon myself, but if you need a store-bought recommendation, Wonder Melon makes a great watermelon juice. They have a couple of flavors but I really like the watermelon-cucumber-basil one. This was a more spur of the moment recipe, so it was only prepared for one, but the measurements are so simple that you could easily make this for more people.

Reduced Tomatoes? Millennial Hunter Gatherer's Ultimate Roast Tomato Soup-Sauce
What, you may ask, is Soup-Sauce? I’ll tell you. It is a soup that is so rich, thick and flavoursome that you’re not just limited to eating it out of a bowl using a spoon, but it can also be used as a pasta sauce, on a homemade pizza or in a lasagne. In fact, any recipe that you might open a tin of chopped tomatoes for, consider this instead to give delicious depth and complexity of flavour.

Lemon and Lime Double Drizzle Cake by Millennial Hunter Gatherer
Sometimes, I come across a net of citrus fruit for around a quarter of the full price. Even if I’m buying full-price citrus fruit, it’s usually cheaper to buy several rather than a single. While it’s handy to keep lemons and limes in the fridge, there comes a point when they need using before they get old and shriveled.

Millennial Hunter Gatherer: Apple Pie with Cinnamon Sugar Topping
Sometimes Hunter Gathering opportunities come along when you least expect them. The end of September saw glorious blue skies and warm mild weather, which tempted me out to visit a local National Trust property.

She’s a Peach
Did summer even happen? I’m not being existential here, but I’ve noticed that adulthood doesn’t have a lot of memorable benchmarkers when it comes to time. I’m not in school, and seasons aren’t defined by what I’m doing and when. I do the same thing in the winter as I do in the summer. Months and years blur together, and soon another decade is up. There’s end-of-the-DECADE music lists rolling out right now. 2010 was 10 years ago? Sounds fake, but OK.

Lightning-Fast Yeast Rolls
By Kathleen Cook, editor of the Arizona Authors Association I used to hate baking with yeast. Kneading dough and waiting forever for rises always drove me crazy. These rolls changed everything, and now I make yeast rolls nearly every day.

Lemonade Scones with Strawberry Jam and Cream
Scones, Skones or biscuits, whatever they’re called, wherever you’re from, it spells delicious! Scones have been a tea time tradition since the day when Anna, the Duchess of Bedford ordered her servants to bring her some tea and sweetbreads for afternoon tea. The assortment of sweetbreads they provided Anna, Duchess of Bedford just so happened to include scones, and she loved them so much that she ordered them every single afternoon thereafter. Just like that, the tradition of eating scones at tea time was born! Speaking of tradition… I recently heard that in some parts of the world it’s traditional to apply the cream to a scone before the jam… umm, what!? How do you spread strawberry jam onto the top of the cream, is this even scientifically possible? and more to the point, why? Do you enjoy making your life harder than it needs to be? Ok, rant over.

Day of the Dead
With the Roman invasion, Christianity became intertwined with Celtic religion. In the early Middle Ages, the Christian holiday 'All Saints Day,' which they had always celebrated during the summer months to pay homage to all their fallen Saints and Martyrs, was dedicated as an official holiday by Pope Boniface I. The date of this observance was changed by Pope Gregory III, who moved their Catholic holiday from May 13 to November 1. The traditional religious Celtic night of Samhain, October 31, or 'All Hallows Eve,' began to be called 'Halloween', and now came the night before the Catholic 'All Saints Day'. By the following century, the Church dedicated November 2 as 'All Souls Day', a day to remember ALL dead. Copying the Celtics, (not the Mexicans, because as far as we know, they hadn't met yet! Read on…) 'All Souls Day' was celebrated with music, parades, dressing in costume, wine, food, and bonfires. They even began to prepare and distribute 'Soul Cakes', with encouragement by the church, probably as a way to replace the Celtic way of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. But also during the festivities, the poor would beg for food, money, and ale. Children started to take up the practice, which was called 'going a-souling.'

Australian Carrot Cake
It’s the gateway vegetable dessert for many. Having been a staple since medieval times, first in the form of pudding, then as pie, and then finally emerging in 1783 as a cake… it’s no wonder nobody bats an eyelid when they hear the words carrot and cake in the same sentence, we’re just used to it! Granted, the carrot cake recipe has evolved a little since 1783, but honestly… not much! The modern version IS more of a carrot and walnut cake in comparison, and the original version most definitely didn’t sport this gloriously silky cream cheese frosting! But still! It’s not a far cry.
