What are you been cooking today

[achookwoman]

Judy,  yes i have made the Veroma bread.  Gave it to the chooks. If the oven plays up,  I would use the BBQ.
Unexpected visitors for Dinner so some very busy work with TMX.  Made...
Corned beet in Varoma,  thanks for this excellent recipe Judy
12 bread rolls, 1/2 bread flour and 1/2 plain flour. Cooked flat with tray on top.
Cooked Coffee slice,  to spoil DH as he cleaned the tiles in the kitchen that I can't reach
Impossible coconut pie,  no sugar.
Cheese sauce for Cauli. That terrific "awesome" one.

I had a dose of insomnia this morning so got up at 3.30 to stop looking at the ceiling and start cooking.  I made a batch of basic biscuits but amused myself by making very very small ones with a melon baller that I then rolled in sugar.  I also made an apple and blueberry slice which was a little scorched because my oven was getting revenge on me for lack of use (my convection microwave died last night so I'm back to using my normal oven which has a love hate relationship with me.)  I also had a couple of ramekins in my 5-in-1 with steel cut oats & dried apple which was my daughter and my breakfast (very yummy).

Tonight I'm making a beef & guiness stew (in the 5-in-1) assuming that my stepfather is nice enough to let me pinch a can of guiness when I pick my car up tonight.  If the 16/17 year old has left any bread, that will accompany the stew.

Sounds like you were very productive at 3:30am stacelee!! Well done

[astarra]

Am very happy - I got all the cooking I had planned done as well as 7 hard boiled eggs. But I had a minor disaster when I ran out of flour and found I did not actually have a bag in the bottom of the pantry - oops.   But... I only needed 150gm more in my bread, so made it up with GF flour, closed my eyes and carried on.... and guess what, you would never tell!!! I now have 3 happy girls who have been playing with playdoh most of the day (I did 4 different colors), 2 big pizzas cooling on the racks, hard boiled eggs cooling, & pizza scrolls, vegemite and cheese scrolls, a loaf of bread and some cheese and bacon buns on the hot mats just out of the oven!

You girls certainly have been busy.
I must get around to doing corned beef in the varoma. I usually do it in the slow cooker.

[stacelee]

I've thought a couple of times about doing corned beef in the Varoma, but I've been doing it for so many years in a pressure cooker.  My Varoma is a very under utilised piece of equipment but I have never been a big fan of steaming things.  We have a wizz bang steamer that my husband bought and is the only one who ever uses it (about once every two years ).  I tend to bung vegetables etc in the microwave (or at least I did until last night sob sob sob).  I may have to pull the Varoma out in the next few days while I am microwaveless.

[Amy :-)]

My oh my golly my! You certainly have been very busy astarra! Good work My mum stopped making me playdoh after I dropped a whole batch down the storm water drain outside...

I tend to bung vegetables etc in the microwave (or at least I did until last night sob sob sob).  I may have to pull the Varoma out in the next few days while I am microwaveless.

Its okay stacelee. I am thinking of you in this hard time of microwavelessness....

I love the slow cooker for corned beef as you can pop it in and forget about it - nothing can go wrong.
Love veggies in the microwave. If mine broke down I'ld straight out and buying another one.

[Tasty]

[Yvette]

Looks great Tasty

[courton]

Where do you buy steel cut oats stacelee?

[Tam]

Hi Tam, I'd love to hear how your wontons turn out tonight!!

Hi Amy,
The wontons turned out great - except I was impatient and didn't wait long enough for the edges to steam . The kids totally loved them and I'll definitely be making them again.
