Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

Hot Cross Buns...

At this time of year,
I am reminded of something...



just how much I love 
HOT CROSS BUNS!



"one-a-penny
two-a-penny,
Hot Cross Buns!"



toasty warm, slathered in good butter, with a piping hot cup of tea,
mmmm.....delicious.

I was going to bake some.
Even looked at Jeanne's
fabulous recipes.

But then, I was walking passed the bakery...

and something smelled so good...



okay, Nigella wasn't really there,

but it could have been one of her recipes!

So  I bought 6...one for each of the next 6 days,
as long as I don't have to share.

Then I can forget how much I love them,
until next Easter.

Happy Easter Everyone

  1. I made them only once many years ago for a friend's child and will never make them again. I bake but yeast and I do not get along. Joe and I just had a lovely slice of Easter Bread and it was good. It was from a bakery. Happy Easter Jacqueline.

  7. The buns look really delicious! I made a strawberry pound-cake for a co-workers birthday today and it reminded me of why I enjoy baking so much--There's nothing like homemade!! :-)

  9. Being a non-church-goer, and a non-choc-eater, hot cross buns (for me) ARE Easter. Love them.

  10. Hello:
    Hot Cross Buns are, very sadly, one of the things which we misss about Easter here in Hungary where traditional fare extends to smoked ham eaten with painted [big mistake as the dye seeps through] eggs, accompanied with horseradish sauce. And that's it.

    Your buns look positively delicious. Enjoy them all and resist sharing!

    Thank you for becoming a Follower of our blog.

  11. J&L...click on Jeanne in the post and she has some wonderful recipes via the BBC for Hot Cross Buns...and Hungary would no longer hunger for these delicacies.

    Welcome aboard...V. and I are thrilled to have you both here...look forward to visiting and reading at your location often.
