400g of ground almonds
400g sugar
150g boiled potatoes and sweet potatoes
lemon rind from one lemon

100g pine nuts
100g chopped nuts (almonds or hazlenuts are good)

anything else you fancy using!
-Boil the potatoes and sweet potatoes in their skins, 10 minutes high and 10 minutes low heat.
-Let them cool, take off the skins and then mash them well.

Hello there my soul sister Katy! Thank you for being so swift in making a comment in my blog post. I have been floundering for so long, and once I decided to make a goal of posting once a week, life threw a wrench in, in the way of incompetent dental work (resulting in mind bending pain) and effed-up weather throwing electrical fireballs and apocalyptic signs left, right and center. I keep telling myself to breath, having invited in change and action (we never know how it will show up though, do we?!). And so it goes. I very much appreciate your love and friendship, was so happy to read about you getting your car (at last!). I feel grateful for your kindred spirit.
