I seem to collect recipe ideas from the strangest places! Flying home from Darwin at 6 am , we were provided with breakfast.  On the tray was fresh fruit salad , a large salmon and cream cheese bagel and bread ( very good) and butter and jam. Also a cherry pastry. At first I thought the pastry case was puff pastry , but I think it was brioche. I would like to make these. So only 2 recipes to try from 3 weeks travel. I think we do better on the Forum.

Yesterday made Chow Mien and SD crumpets. SD sad as it’s been in the fridge for a month without being fed. I fed for a day but this probably wasn’t enough . However a made crumpets with discard. Also fed Rye SD. I made plain crumpets, Rye SD crumpets and some 1/2. and 1/2. These were surprisingly good.
Also found ham bone from Xmas and made pea ham and veggie soup.

Most mornings I’m making steel cut oats porridge for myself and DH . Using the TMX is good it takes awhile but worth it .

Made Nay Nay scones. Split the mixture into 3. Made plain, cheese and date scones. Also used Kefir instead of milk.
Also made copycat of pastry tart that I had on plane. Didn’t know that I could make pastry cases out of very rich Brioche dough. Used 1/2 Brioche recipes from Cookidoo, made 11 cup cake size bases. Filled with Sour Cherries.

Chookie I love anything cherry.
I made some Cranberry and Clementine biscuits from Cookidoo. They taste nice, but you squash them down part way through the cooking.

EDC stock concentrate, vege stew, oven baked garlic mushroom rice and I am experimenting with simple dahls where I can pre-measure the dry ingredients and pack up so that DH need only saute the spices then add everything else, plus a tin of tomatoes and coconut cream to make himself a hot meal when I am away at the weekends

Marina, good idea to pre package ingredients. I see Source shop do this and charge a lot. Much much cheaper to do this yourself.
Cookie, I love the Sour cherries that come in a jar. I added a hand full of currants and sultanas as there is a lot of liquid. When heated , they absorbed some of the liquid.

Yum Chookie. My only cooking was the making of the quick puff pastry from Cookidoo and the meat pies for dinner.

Simple Nachos in AF. I received my box of mixed fruit and veggies from Wilsons. $40. It contained 6 bananas. I can’t eat all of these as they are high in potassium. I’ll make a Rum and Raisin Banana cake to give away.

Yesterday I tipped a large bag of raw turkey bones into the SC. Added garlic , ginger and water. Cooked for several hours. Strained broth and delivered it to DD who is in bed with nasty bug.
