I am in the middle of having a work shop built just for me and my home Picture Framing Business and have a builder, Electrician and roofer here at the moment, so I made an Egg and bacon pie, Cheese and bacon rolls and some Pizza scrolls for their lunch and they had chocolate mint slice for morning tea and I have made a lemon cake for afternoon tea. Got to keep the workers happy. (Maybe they will be nice to me when they hand over the bill)

[Halex]

Gosh Dede, they wont leave... And why would they leave, all that yummy food

thats certainly worth a sizeable discount I'd hope...

[achookwoman]

Dede, you might not get a discount but you will get a really good job.  I always feed our workers and they do a good job, even consult about little things and don't mind coming back the next day.

[Frozzie]

haha i bet they dont with being fed like that 

[Cornish Cream]

Dede's Chocolate Crunch (oh so good) and All in One Salmon Tikka Dinner.

I think they all walked away happy and the new work shop is looking great. I now have a roof. Next for the windows and doors before being plastered and bricked. I am so looking forward to having my own space.

Back on the subject I did Also make some cheese cake jelly slices as well but not for the workers this time. And I did all this while feeling pretty yucky with the flu. My house is a mess but at least everyone has a full tummy.

[Decadent Dot]

Well Dede, I am having a gardener in tomorrow to cut down a tree and do a bit of clearing. I have therefore made your chocolate chip cookies to go with his cuppa. Very nice too though a little sweet for my taste so I will reduce the sugar next time around.

[johnro]

Bron's easy lemon sponge was delicious!

[dede]

That's the best part about making our own biscuits slices and cakes ( and everything else) we can reduce or add ingredients to suit our own tastes. I change ingredients
 quiet often when I know I can without much effect on the finished product.

Hope you are feeling better soon Mandi.  Rest up for the rest of the weekend, hand the kitchen over to the kids.

[Halex]

Dede, you good girl making all those things  with the flu, i coudnt even get out of bed.

I dont know how you fit everything in, 5 kids, cooking and picture framing,

Well done

Had to roster use of thermie yesterday as DH wanted it to make a marinade for goat (getting slow cooked today) and a cheesecake, with me trying to get a few minutes to make another batch of yogurt, roasted pumpkin and corn soup and some cottage rolls plus a puy lentil dish to go with the confit rabbit dinner (rabbit not cooked in thermie!).

Lots of these dishes are thinks I wouldn't have bothered to do pre-thermomix, but now it's just so easy (and fun). The cheesecake was so yummy....
