What are you been cooking today

[CreamPuff63]

thanks JD - yes that, and both of us feeling a little burnt out (you know how it gets). I will have my laptop with me so will keep up with the forum goings on...hic! just a little tipsy from all the cocktails I plan on having!

[judydawn]

You'll come back with your batteries charged CP - nothing like a holiday at times like this. Glad you will still be on air with us.

I have found the best way to make your bread dough to rise in no time. Place the TM bowl with the dough in it in front of the fire and wrap it with a fat cat. Works wonders lol.

ROFLMAO 

[judydawn]

Did you have to bribe him with anything to do that Mandi

[dede]

No JD, I actually had to move his fat belly back so I could squeeze the TM bowl infront of the fire. Its a bit cool here today.

Every good bakery has its fat cat:  love it Mandi

[dede]

Lol. And he helped with the first and second rise. But now the dough is in tin and I don't want cat fur bread so his help is no longer needed.

CP63,  have a great holiday,  and many happy returns to DH.

Mandi,  I have been proving my dough if front of the fire also.  No fat cat,  though.

Had to smile at the cat. I have found that my electric yogurt maker is proving to be an asset when it comes to rising. It is just the right constant heat with a bowl of bread instead of it's lid.

I have just finished a batch of cold cream of celery soup I have already had a taste. I liked it though I will probably have it hot.The apple content was a nice additive.  I am now going on to make Judy's Pork Goulash
I am not so sure about the amount of Paprika though. I might cut that down a tad.

This has been a good lesson in following the instructions for including urls though....well that is if it works. Many thanks CreamPuff.

Wow! it worked (she says unbelievably)

[achookwoman]

Another 3 pots of Tenina's Apricot Preserves.

JD's Shrek juice, chia bread, steamed vegies, lemon orange melt biscuits, orange custard (just substituted orange rind for the lemon rind in the EDC recipe). I have four huge shopping bags of oranges to get through! So orange everything at the moment.

Made no fuss bread for first time GREAT, 2 apple teacakes because the first one was a disaster, and this Thai red chicken curryhttp://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1932.0.
