Made a loaf of 1 minute bread.
Took TMX to post office so had lumpy mashed potato for dinner with Duck Breasts and Brussels sprouts.

Just saw the soup being demonstrated on the Mary Berry TV show CC. I like her shows since she is generous in sharing all her little tricks and tips.
I love watching Mary Berry on TV too Courton.I've met her twice and she is a very charming lady.

LOL Chookie with you making lumpy mash. :D

I had a laugh too Chookie, it's so long since I mashed potato by hand that I'd probably serve up a lumpy mash too.

We are still at DS's in Melbourne. I usually do the cooking unless we eat out. DiL was working, so I made 2 Curried Shepherds pies, one for dinner and one for their freezer.
DS mashed the potatoes by hand (with a potato masher) and did a very smooth job, I was impressed.
It was perfect weather for it tonight, apparently it only reached 13 today.

I think some of the problem with the mashed potatoes was that 2 were Dutch creams and one Pontiac.  They are ready at different times.  When I reheated them and mashed again , OK.
Kat, you are lucky to have DS mash for you. I only had a fork.
Tonight we had grilled whiting, mashed potato and salad from the garden. Followed by crepes.

I roasted 2 whole chickens last night, and a turkey roll. Cut them up this morning, and sealed them in bags for cold meat for my parents. :)

Yesterday I made a batch of Cookie1's Vanilla Yo Yo Biscuits uising cornflour and a little pinch of saffron in place of the custard powder.  I joined them with some vanilla butter cream.  Very nice.

Today a loaf of bread, some Umami Paste and soup for lunch.

Marina, your cooking always looks interesting and yummy.
Today, just 1 minute bread. Maybe some Cumquat and Mandarin marmalade.
