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.

Spiced Dutch Honey Cake
Spring has sprung here in not so sunny Ballarat, and although many may associate spring with flowers, I associate spring with bees, so naturally, today I’m baking with honey. Every time I walk through the international section at the supermarket I eyeball the Dutch Honey Cake, but I always opt to leave it, because the version available in the supermarket always looks overly processed, dense, and dry, so today, I made my own! And I can assure you that it is neither overly processed, dense, nor dry! It even got the tick of approval from hubby! But, that was because he thought it tasted like ginger kisses, even though there is not a spec of ginger in this Spiced Honey Cake recipe. I don’t know, don’t ask me! I just couldn’t taste it.

Simple Halloween Treats
I love Halloween. When else can adults have a legit excuse to play dress up and indulge in candy and face painting without people thinking we're crazy. It allows us to have fun with our children and enjoy the beautiful colors of the changing season. It also gives us the excuse to watch more scary movies (not that I need one).
