Jubilee Weekend - anyone from the UK cooking?

[mcmich]

Just looked up Chookies Quenn of Pudding recipe.
Will be making it this week with frozen mixed berries so I don't go over $100 budget.
Maybe Robyn will give me a few lemons when we drop in for dessert?

Michelle, I would love to have you for desert, anytime drop in. I am always baking for the kids, my parents, and any one else.

obbie, have you still got some of those lemons.?  This new recipe uses lots. Will post tomorrow if OK.
The Queen of Pud recipe is nice with  Lemon butter, any fruit, Tenina's Apricot Preserves etc.

I made chicken-cacciatore and rice pudding in my new (small) PC.
My son phoned me from the banks of the Thames in London. It sounded crowded and wet. I was glad to be watching it on TV instead. Good on Liz and Phil not to sit down at all. Not bad for 80's and 90's This ensured that everyone else had to remain standing as etiquette demands.

Well we did it! Very wet - but we bravely waved our flags on the Thames and then scuttled back home for a bit of warmth and dry! I am still an Aussie at heart - couldn't stay out in rain for too long. Here is my Victoria Sponge - was too nervous after the mixed reviews to use the thermomix for the sponge - so used my KA instead and a Donna Hay recipe - in her modern classic cookbook. It uses the Genoise method - i.e. no baking agent - just lots of whipping of eggs and sugar and then folding in flour and melted butter. I was pleased with results but a bit dry - more to do with my new oven then the method. Hope all had a great day.
