Episode 178: Where is My Spring?




This episode will upload April 20, 2024

Comments are welcomed! Either comment here or go to our group on Ravelry.
I have a YouTube channel "Doctor Gemma". Flash tips (1 minute or less) around surviving the pandemic and longer strategy discussions.

Buy Dr Gemma a Ko-Fi, if you're enjoying the podcast and feeling up to it. Remember that I am still working, though, so feel free to give the money to a charity instead.

I will NOT add you to any of my follower groups currently, due to robo-accounts. Please follow me here. You can contact me through our group on Ravelry or on this blog.

Put a Lid on It: 
Pumpkin pakora





Pumpkin fritters (or: pumpkin pakora)
One cup canned pumpkin purée
Two large eggs
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup minced green onions
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt/pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

One. Mix well, shaped into balls or fritters.
Two. Fry in 2 inches at least of olive oil or coconut oil.
Eight fritters equals 3 g carbs each
