I used Chookie's No Fuss recipe and baked it in my Milk Loaf tin.
Went a bit mad with the sesame seeds

That loaf looks awesome CC. We called them a tank loaf when I was growing up. Love your cooling rack too.  

[judydawn]

Lovely CC and so easy to slice too.  I love how you managed to get the sesame seeds so evenly spread across the entire loaf - I can never do that but I love the taste of toasted sesame seeds on bread

the sight of the tank loaf always brings back memories of how we forum members went mad for them. I wonder if the suppliers thought they had better order in a huge quantity and then got stuck with a truckload of them when the fever died down 

[judydawn]

Probably did CP but those of us who bought them, were very happy with the resulting loaves weren't we?  It makes the only loaf I can cut without going off on an acute angle

I have had a very frustrating day and not been able to cook what. I was actually going to do. However I did manage to make chookie's.

I added an orange and a mandarin. Yum. I am afraid I gave it to the plumber before I took a pic.

I was planning on a lovely variation of Isi's Salmon Pasta but in the end I just chucked it all in and it was delicious. Not good looking but so easy as Isi's said.

I am going to make the Gentlemen's relish tomorrow if I recover from today otherwise I may stay in bed with the covers over my head.

You did very well considering you are not feeling great Gert. The pasta looks like good comfort food.

I made Chookies Lemon Tea Biscuits: http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=15547.0
They were delicious

[gertbysea]

Feeling fine just frustrated and pi$$ed off.

Better cooking tomorrow.

For those of you in winter temperatures this is a great recipe posted by Chookie.
She kindly recreated some soup we had on a day out.

We really recommend it!

Oh boy,   You girls are inspiring me to try some of my own recipes .  I will be making Isi's prawn soup next.

Today started no better than yesterday. Has not time yesterday to make Chookie's Gentlemen's Relish so started at 0600. First  I found my 250 gms Apple cider vinegar had turned into 100 mls of Malt vinegar. Then not enough tomatoes sauce so open from the fridge an upside down bottle of tomato paste  very bad move. It exploded all over the place. My kitchen living area looked like a crime scene. Ceilings, walls, sinks , floors, hair, phone, iPad, everywhere sricky deep red tomato paste.

So to make chookies Gentlemen's Relish

Emptied the malt vinegar into the jug plus about 170 mls left in a white balsamic vinegar.
Then I accidentally dropped 100 gms of prunes into the jug.
No enough tomto sauce so supplemented it with paste.
Dumped 80 gms of brown sugar  by mistake
65 mls of Worcestshire  when distracted by Clive Palmer on TV
Garlic bulb slightly ion the way out so chucked it all in
Opened a brand new jar of Anchovies. Ate about 10 while standing and put a very good bunch into the jug
No mustard powder but a good dollop of German mustard
I m not fond of allspice  so old dodgy jar 1/3 full emptied into jug
Chilli powder back of pantry but fresh dried  in front. One big'un

Done eh. I then reduce in by half. Just tasted it. Hot and spicy. Made me cough and sputtered the Thermomix and everything around it including shirt with yummy relish! Added a wee bit more sugar and cooking a wee bit longer.

Apart from a couple of changes it is the same as chookies. ROFLMAO!

You're definitely a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants cook Gert
