Yesterday I tried my hand at making fancy biscuits as a trial for GD 21st birthday in a few weeks time.  Not very successful shape wise but GDs 9 and 17 thought they were ok and took them home.   More practice need I think.

Today will be potato salad and vegetable fritatta.

Mab, that is a bit of a challenge you have set yourself. I'm sure someone will eat the rejects.
I back making Kefir. Think this will fit into new diet programme.
Chicken thigh casserole for lunch. Salmon salad for dinner.

No cooking as such here. The biscuit barrel has plenty in it and the bread supply is good. Just dinner tonight which will be a stir fry.

I made some coffee ice cream, some zucchini slice and some choc muffins this morning (before it got to hot!)

Well done Astarra.
Might make some SD English Muffins. Mix today and cook tomorrow.
Have got back into making Kefir again. Using it instead of Yoghurt as it has more goodies in it. Will strain some and make a soft cheese. Can't use it in cooking as it kills the good bugs.

Does the kefir taste like yoghurt Chookie? I have possibly asked before!!

I checked the biscuit barrel and it is empty now! I will make something for it later today. It's very humid and I don't want to heat up the kitchen too early.
It seems unusual you having heat Astarra. Its something I don't associate with your part of the country.

Cookie, it tastes like yogurt but is more liquid. The good thing is that it just sits on the bench. Once it becomes active it takes about 24 hours to work. I used the strained 'cheese' in a dip and the liquid in a SD loaf.
I bought a kit to get started. Mad Milly.
The recipe that I posted for Lemon Kefir Icecream is the 3rd most popular one on my Blog.

I've used a couple of Mad Millie kits. I will look for one next time I'm at a kitchen shop.

Made a lovely dip from the Kefir.
Will post.

I've made some more coffee ice cream today, the last batch seems to have been eaten already!
Also made soy yoghurt and hard boiled some eggs for salads

I'm stewing peaches this morning and the kitchen smells lovely.

Astarra, home made ice cream is so nice. I made some peppermint crisp icecream,itisdisappearingfast.
Mab, lovely.

I had a bit of a cook in today. I made some Classic bread for DH and DD, the Fresh Strawberry Bars from RecipeTin eats, except I used plums http://www.recipetineats.com/fresh-strawberry-bars/
