Recipes without gluten

I have made quite a few recipe videos over the years, all of them gluten free and most of them vegetarian or vegan. Some of them dairy-free. Anyway, here they are all in one place.

Great Expectations

My mother just told me that her next door neighbour asked her "what exactly is Elise aiming for?"

My mother told her she didn't know, so she asked me "what is it, fame, fortune, celebrity, what?"

Well the truth is anyone who expects any of these things is an idiot. That's not to say you can't aim at them, but you have to do it because you are doing the things in your life that fulfil you, not because they are the goal.

What I want is to do the things I want and need to do, do the things that make me happy, while at the same time making enough money out of them not to starve and be found dead in a ditch.

This has always been my aim.

I would love to be well known and rich because of the things I do - but it may never happen. Probably won't happen. Be lovely if it did, but dreams very rarely come true.

All you can ever do is do what you do.

My mother seemed satisfied with that but said it was unlikely I would die in a ditch. I don't think anyone can know how they will end up.

I am not a pessimist nor an optimist and probably nowhere near being a realist - but I am a pragmatist.
