What are you been cooking today

[cathy79]

Watch the painters don't extend the job just for the great food!

[Thermomixer]

My sourdough was even better this time than my first one - you would be proud of me Chookie 

Good work JD

[Thermomixer]

I wanted to make Rosella Jam in the TMX.

WOW, lucky you having access to Rosellas.  I know people who would kill (maybe an exaggeration) for those.

Last night i made a Sussex Pond Pudding.  This is a funny little pudding,  with a scone dough crust and a 1/4 of lemon in the middle surrounded by a mix of butter and sugar.   They were steamed in the Varoma,  and when turned out the lemon butter spills from the center.  I need to tweak the recipe a little and will then post.  

Good work Chookie, keen to see your recipe.  It is a funny little thing and strange when you see it for the first time.

Wow! I didn't realise - they grow everywhere up here. i actually felt silly buying them for $4 kg!! LOL

Never heard of Rosella's so I just looked on the web to what they look like.
Nay-nay what do they taste like, can you give me an idea of a similar flavour?

[Nay-nay]

Ummm - kinda like a cross between a cherry and grape! Anyone else for a try??? 

[meganjane]

I've only eaten the ones in syrup that you put in champers, so I can't help you with taste.

I've requested some info from the website, thanks for the link Nay.

In the past few days I've made bread, and more bread (just Lauke packet mixes which are delicious!), nut butter, faffa's peanut butter biscuits, apple and cinnamon muffins, smartie biscuits and have steamed various veges for meals, made toasted breadcrumbs etc.
I've been making double quantity meals so we've got left overs, so they don't fit in Herman.
He's been helpful in the preparation of meals, though.

Thanks for the information on rosellas Nay-Nay. I don't think they grow anywhere in WA.

Chookie I remember Peach Kuchen, in fact I still make it. It was kind 'new' when it won. In fact I think I still have the recipe book they put out.

Not a lot of cooking here today, I went into the city and had lunch with DD. Very nice.  Of course I haunted all the book stores too.

It was so cold here today,  the mist was blowing all over us so thought I had better cook the painters a warm lunch.  Chow Mien seemed to warm them up.  They also finished off the Impossible pie from yesterday.   I made the Banana ,Walnut and Date bread from EDC book.  Pretty much a non event,  until I toasted it.   Worth a try.   Yes they have suggested that they might pop over from the new job they are starting tomorrow which is only 10 ks. away.  I am pleased they have finished for now,  they will paint the outside in November.  I can't find a thing.

Pull the blinds, draw the curtains - do whatever it takes Chookie to let them think you are not home 
Good luck with putting the house back in order, that is the worst part of having your house painted.

I was out all day today but felt like doing some cooking instead of watching the news.  Made green soup and a batch of white chocolate & coffee biscuits from a recipe I found whilst waiting at the hairdressing salon this afternoon.

How were the bickies JD? They sound delish!

Glad the painters have left Chookie!

Our German Backpacker left today too. He said he would miss my cooking dreadfully!! What a sweetie. He's coming back in October for a little while, so we'll have a grand send off for him then, as he'll be going back to Germany.

[Cornish Cream]

Thanks Nay-nay, I sort of get the flavour.Next time I'm in London I will lookout for them in one of the top stores.I have never seen them in my local supermarket but you never know, they might be there!!
