Junket

[I Love Bimby!]

Lol - can picture it in my mind's eye Thermomixer...

Well made this for dessert tonight as I've had the junket powder in the cupboard for nearly a year and hadn't tried it yet...    So thanks Nay Nay.

We added some cocoa (next time I'd dissolve it properly) and DD loved it and told me a couple of times how delicious it was.  I made 1 Lt which is too much for us really, so will try a smaller qty next time.

Think I told this before, but my brother used to chew junket ?? We all had to wait til he'd finished before we could leave the table !

The coffee junket does sound good - maybe some coffee liqueur ?

I've made a mocha junket and piled foamed milk on the top - I am not a big fan of sweetened whipped cream - and the foamed or frothed milk is light and airy with a milky taste that complements the mocha. 

Again, I don't have a recipe for it, just make the mocha to taste with espresso and milk to which I add cocoa mix until it tastes right and then I add the rennet dissolved in a tablespoon of cold water - one tablet to one pint of liquid which would be a little less than half a liter for you.

Yes a nice Bailey's Cream for after the kids go to bed.

Yes - 500ml is plenty for 2 dessert glasses and only need 1/8 tsp of powder.

If you added some lecithin powder it would be even more stable to serve for guests?  Not that it needs to stay frothy for long before being devoured.

I have a frothing appliance, (naturally, being an appliance fanatic) called a Froth au Lait Froth 'n Sauce.  which turns a very small amount of of milk into a huge amount of foam which is much more stable than steam-frothed milk. 
I got it after burning my hand on the steam from my old espresso machine.

Spectacularly easy!!!! And healthy enough to have them regularly.

That looks lovely Nay-Nay.

Looks great Nay-Nay!

They'll need to turn your house into a museum like Julia Child's kitchen (not wishing ill, but it must be an amazing collection.

Good pic Nay-Nay & very healthy - especially when the cow out the back is producing the milk.

I mentioned in another thread that some of my oldest mixers have been loaned to a museum for an exhibit.
However there are also toasters that I won't lend out, some rather unique. 
I have far too many to display them all but from time to time set out a few for a mini display.  As I don't use all the bedrooms in my house I am considering converting one into a display space. 
You can see some of my collection here:

Please disregard the dust!

What an amazing collection Andie.  Do you have family interested in keeping this collection going or is this just your interest. I love the old fashioned toasters - nothing toasts better than they do.  I still have one here in case my automatic one kicks the bucket.

[andiesenji]

I'm afraid I sort of took this a bit off topic.  However, I'll answer your question.

Some of my toasters are going to the toaster museum: http://www.toaster.org/
Other appliances will be sold or auctioned.  I have a standing offer for most of my mixer collection and some of the other appliances, from a company that supplies props for movies.   I have a huge, vintage stove that I have agreed to sell to them for a proposed film. 
Some of the stuff is going "home" so to speak because a lot of the stuff I bought at the MGM auction many years ago, was kitchen stuff from the 1930s. 
Of course, if I fall on hard times, I can always sell the stuff to supplement my pension...

[Nay-nay]

WOW!!Great stuff! It would go well on a show we have here called 'Collectors'. We love that show.

Did they come to see you for props for Julie & Julia ?? Amazing how much you have got - have to show MrsT so that maybe she will let me encroach on another room.
