Same here TrudyO   


Today we had SIL & BIL to lunch and I did the whole KFC meal thingy. Went down well.

After my cookathon yesterday I'm taking it relatively easy today - need to make some nutella/hazelnut chocolate spread and will be making the gourmet beef casserole for tea.

I'm a very untidy cook even with the TMX so I really ought to clear some space in the kitchen today! 

Oh and I might make the lemon, ginger and honey drink for colds since I'm still feeling somewhat grimish .....

All of a sudden its another cookathon!

Well I have done very little baking/cooking 
It's been exceptionally busy with school activities etc., and my Daughter leaving Grade 6 this year and preparing for next year 
Hopefully next week I can flood this forum with some photo's   

[achookwoman]

Maddy,  quite a big step leaving grade 6.   Hope all goes well for next year.

  yes, but she is well and truly ready!
Unfortunately her final year wasn't a challenge for her at all, so she is very eager to move on & expand

I've made Stollen Spirals, will post the recipe and photo tomorrow. Stained glass window cake (not thermomix), more mini plum puddings and we're having a mushroom risotto for dinner using lots of dried mushrooms. Hope it tastes good.

It's been appalling weather here were I live, 26cm of snow in 4 hours, so I cooked "comfort food", shepherds pie and banana cake.

I cooked shepherd's pie tonight too   Next time I do it in the  must remember to leave the MC off! It was pretty liquid and (mushy)  Bit of a let down for the menfolk after yesterday's rogan josh that they loved.

We've only a couple of inches of snow here (South Dorset) but even so the roads were pretty treacherous this morning.

CC it has been the complete contrast regarding weather in Central Queensland - with a temp yesterday in the high 30's with a sauna type humidity, shepherds pie was not on the 'shall I cook this today' list. We had KFC chicken with salad and a potato bake and Jo's  choc banana nut ice cream for dessert.  The Christmas goodies are continuing to be made - Tenina's choc nut fudge plus another batch of cookies and cream fudge and rock road.

jonro's banana cake



and when my visitors leave later, will try and whip up some cake pops.

OK on the agenda today we have a nice Sunday Roast Dinner (veggies steamed in the varoma), some chocolate chip scones (a real favourite in our house) and a cake of some sort - carrot? Oh and I must make my cranberry sauce but that won't take long.  I made it last year, pre  days and it burnt slightly on the bottom.  Of course that won't happen this year as Thelma will stir continuously

It's only going to be 24⁰ here today and we have actually seen some RAIN-whoopee. Not much but some. I plan to finish off all my Christmas cooking today. Hopefully baby panettone, parmesan sticks shaped as pretzels, bread and I think that's about all for the moment. Oh and some mayonnaise. I should have most things in the freezer than and only have to cook the meats and make the salads on Thursday.

Still waiting for my oven to be fixed so I can get some Christmas baking done!!  Oh well, it's so hot I don't really feel like cooking anyway.  Going out for dinner with the Thermomix girls tonight - woo hoo!

Enjoy yourself Jo.
