What are you been cooking today

Yesterday made yogurt. Too much again for yogurt container so set leftovers again in oven. Warmed oven to 50 degrees. Poured yogurt into a plastic container. Switched off oven heat but left light on. Placed container on shelf. It set in the same time as that in yogurt machine. 8 hours.

Our tomatoes are not doing very well this year, so I managed to buy some at a reasonable price and made Tomato Chutney this morning.  Also blanched & froze more beans.

Our dear friend Judy , sent via her DD and SIL the fab RTE recipe book. I’ve read every recipe and all the notes. Wow, what a book.
This morning I made her recipe for the ‘ Easy Crusty Artisan Bread’. This is of course one that we have all made many times before. I changes the ingredients and added 100 g of cooked mixed grains which I  minced in the TMX before I added the rest.
I also made Chow Mein using my recipe from my Blog but took inspiration from RTE recipe and added some additional sauce ingredients.

That loaf looks fantastic, Chookie, is it a sourdough or yeast bread.  What a lovely gift from Judy.  I still have to start going through her recipes and decide what I will try firt.

Chookie, that loaf looks good , it's on my list to do along with another try at the Portuguese bread.

I made the RTE brown rice salad to have with dinner tonight.

How lovely of Judy. RTE book is great.

Mab I've found with the Portuguese bread that I have been more or less pouring it into the tin I use. I use a very big bread tin for the recipe.

I made some Haloumi yesterday. I used the recipe on Cookidoo and although it takes a long time, a lot of it is letting things cool etc.

The chocolate biscuits I made the over day were from a recipe in the Women's Weekly. I then found it on the Cobram website.
