I've just made eggplant lasagna using the TMX bolgnaise recipe.  Been a long time since I've made it, hoping it tastes as good as I remember.

If I get time I want to try the vanilla slice recipe on the forum.

I read some where that once you've made it, freeze it for a couple of hours then re-blitz it and then refreeze and it shouldn't be so hard.  Unfortunately (?) we haven't had any left to try that yet.  Though the cherry-vodka one that we made didn't go too hard, possibly the vodka and also the fact that about 20% of the cherries weren't frozen.

Not such an elaborate gift this year, a gift card so I can go on a shopping spree.  Last year was the year of big birthday spending for us since we now have an 18 month old girl and I've gone to part-time work.  I must say I felt the pressure since our birthdays are a week apart!

I'm not too adventurous in the kitchen.  I tend to stick to recipes and then maybe tweak them a bit.  Have tried converting one or two favourite recipes with some success.  Have visited the forum once or twice but had forgotten about it until I met someone at Tenina's cooking class who was talking about it.

Looking forward to being more involved!
