Just noticed your post from a few days ago @CandiceMarie - what is a hummingbird cake?

@wildmissus its as delish or more so as carrot cake/ passion cake..
Here's a link to the recipe...

Its maybe a bit too sweet for some folk and no one seems to know for sure where the name came from..looks v like a carrot cake and v similar texture but contains pineapple and bananas...X

That looks amazing

That is a beautiful cake, the crushed pineapple makes it very moist. Stop it, fasting!!,

That cake would go really well with my black coffee - ugh but fasting

[wildmissus]

@CandiceMarie, I agree that looks amazing and sounds tasty - I have a sweet tooth. Think I might have to give it a go one day but substituting the bananas for something else as I really can't stand them or I could make it as per recipe and leave it for the family to eat..... not .

@Candicemarie That cake looks lovely
Yes @wildmissus My sweet tooth would love that also, we could make it try just one slice leaving it for others maybe ----------------
not!!!
Why are we torturing ourselves on a fast day?
I'm off for now can't stand it any more @sallyo has just presented us with a buffet and now cake!!!!

Good luck to all of us let's make it a Determination Day ♥

Morning all. I did my fast yesterday as I was travelling back from hols. I have concluded that zero calorie fasts are easier as there is no decision making involved on what to eat.

Back to earth with a bump this morning. Picked up the cat from the cattery yesterday and he seems to have picked something up there. This morning, stuck in traffic for nearly two hours, missed my train and the one I'm on now is running late. I'm running a training course this afternoon and it will not do if I turn up late.

So I'm grumpy this morning:-(. Things can only improve.

Hope Archie's ok @rawkaren... I feel grumpy too..went to pick prescription up and managed to avoid entering several tempting shops..flippin temptation everywhere you look...
Reminded self that it is indeed D for Determination Day as @Sue.Q so rightly said!x

Just reflecting on current grumpiness..
I used to feel very grumpy,very cold and very unhappy each day at 4pm with " four o clock dips" but i never have them now..so some things have improved!

Hope you had a good holiday @rawkaren Hope Archie is OK, Really hoping your grumpiness is diminishing, don't be late for that meeting but don't stress if you are coz there's nowt you
can do about it girl

So you've gained an extra bonus re: your grumpiness diminishing slightly on your fastdays @Candicemarie well that's all for the better, I'm rarely grumpy but I'm ironing today oh well it all helps pass a good DD on a fastday.

Ohh gosh I' m alwAys quite grumpy @Sue.Q .....
But now i know you like ironing on a fast day,i 'll bring mine round!
Ive cheered up already! xx

Grumpiness gone although still a few more hours to go as the Americans are awake The course went very well and they served scones with jam and clotted cream mid afternoon which gave me something of a sugar rush, so no supper for me tonight
