I have 6 Isa Browns- They are rescued Chookies- X Battery Hens. Their feathers are slowly returning which is good.
We generally get 3 or 4 a day and on the odd occasion get 7. Id say we would use about a dozen (just the Two of us)
I like to give my mum eggs too as she happily brings lotsa scraps for them too!

I made the Almond Pav from the EDC the other day (first time ever) and I stuffed up the first batch so that was 8 eggs then only had 6 left so ussed them for the second try. I think its because I used milled raw sugar- too heavy i think. Soo my hubby enjoyed scrambled eggs the next day- 14 egg yolks- needless to say he doesnt feel like eggs this week!!!

i think the flat side goes down because then you dont need to change it when it comes time to drizzle in oil, liquid etc. plus its heaps easier to clean and or lick when the need arises! 

Wow I never knew there was a nasties free Custard Powder! I would keep it for sure then!
Our Woolworths doesn’t carry much of anything these days- I think they are just interested in selling their own brand!
Thanks for the info CeeJay

Yes I do like the idea that I can pick the ingredients and someone else tells me what to make..... Oh dear.... I sound so lazy!! haha

My DH will be coming home from work tonight  (Its been nearly 2 weeks since I saw him last) so am making him something yummy. Making Beef casserole and steamed veggies in the Varoma (from the budget busters) but instead of Dumplings I’m going to make yummy crusty Foccacia. It’s a bit wintery here today so casserole will be great!

Good one Chookie.  If I could learn how to cut bread as thinly as you, I might make more bread - that's why I find rolls easier to do, no slicing needed.  

Judy- I use an electric carving knife to cut my bread and can get it even and thin. You can also buy a guide that your bread sits in with gaps for the knife (so they are always even and also so the bread doesnt get squashed!)

The bread looks nice Chookie. will have to try it! P.S. why dont you cut into the top of the bread?

Don't cut slashes in top.

Hi Chelsea

I haven’t actually tried it myself but did see the Chicken Cacciatore recipe in the Meat Lovers cookbook and that cooks the chicken legs in the bowl with the sauce. I haven’t heard seen a recipe for doing them in the Varoma. Good Luck 

I found that once I had been using my Thermo for a while and I knew the functions, converting was much easier.  I have put pencil marks all through my old faithful Woman’s Weekly Cookbook! I hardly use my electric beaters anymore because the Thermo is on the bench and always ready to go! Enjoy your converting Gin!
