Today I've made Chelsea's bangers & mash for lunch and currently have a batch of cauliflower & bacon soup in the TMX. DH is in his glory eating his sausages LOL

He is currently licking his plate - I cannot believe how much he loves them.  Oh well, easy and cheap enough to keep him happy. It certainly looks as if it is man thing.

I'm trying a new recipe for Mascarpone Ice-Cream I found here http://www.foodiesite.com/recipes/2002-10:masicecr.   
I have been looking for a good, rich vanilla icecream and hope this one fits the bill.
If we like it I will post my conversion.

I made the easy chocolate cake today for Playgroup and salt dough for the kiddies to play with this morning. My chocolate cake went down a treat, I added 100g of chocolate bits to it which made it even nicer. Unfortunately the ants also enjoyed it and I had to throw the rest in the bin :-( not to worry though, I just went home and made another one, this time with white and chocolate bits and because the oven was hot I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies.

I don't know about that  Judy - I love sausages and mash, especially if I'm feeling under the weather.   Real comfort food.

AP Herbert's poem "In Praise of the Sausage"

If there’s a dish
For which I wish
More frequent than the rest,
If there’s a food
On which I brood
When starving or depressed,
If there’s a thing that life can give
Which makes it worth our while to live
If there’s an end
On which I’d spend
My last remaining cash,
It’s a sausage, friend,
It’s a sausage, friend,
It’s a sausage, friend, and mash.

When Love is dead,
Ambition fled,
And pleasure, Lad, and Pash,
You’ll still enjoy,
A sausage, boy,
A sausage, boy and mash.’

Good one Bonsai.

Tonight I made Lentil pie, microwaved some asparagus, cauliflower and sugar snap peas then made a parsley sauce to have with it all. Everyone loved it. I felt i used too much nutmeg and not enough parsley in the sauce.

Today I've prepped the seafood for Tenina's seafood salad with orange dressing.  Not able to source fresh scallops, I bought extra green prawns.  Will use flathead and salmon as well.

Also planning on making the cherry brioche from FFS in a day or two, (and then the pud after that), so yesterday I defrosted some cherries I froze at Christmas, and put them in the dehydrator overnight.  I put 400g of pitted cherries in there, and 147g of dried came out!   I need 150g so just made it.  

[judydawn]

That was a lucky guess Julie.

It was all I had Judy, so very lucky that I now have just enough to make the 2 things.

Next season I will definitely buy more cherries now that I know they dry really well.
