This is one of my favourite sections of the forum. I love to see what others are cooking and the photos.
I've made some home bread, Gert's Sledging biscuits using caramel buttons, some Chocolate, Orange and almond fudge, have a couple of rich,small fruit cakes in the oven, and Chookie's Pumpkin and Wattleseed bread rising to take out tonight.
I'm having fun asa with only the 3 of us I don't get to have cook ups very often.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Found 5kg (more like 6 or 7 kg) of Tomatoes for $5 today so grabbed them to make some relish.
Have made 3 batches already (8 jars) yum smells so good :D

Making a vienna loaf...possibly to have with dinner, if it lasts until then (unlikely).
Haven't made much else today - just smoothies for me and the kids.  But we just ate up the last of the muffins, so think there will be some kind of baking today.  I saw a blog (non-TMX) with a recipe for baked donuts which sounded nice, but maybe a little fiddly...

DD2 has been keeping her eye on my Facebook page to see if I have made choc fudgy wudgy biscuits for when she comes home over Chrissy. I haven't made anything, so I suppose I'd better not let her down  :D think she's flying in this morning so I'd better fire up the oven.

I've gone nuts today ;D
I've made Brazen's spiced nuts (again), Vivacity's  sugared almonds and my chocolate orange almond clusters.
I've discoverd how to blanch almonds in my Thermo Chef by accident :( I inserted the butterfly for the sugared almond and it stripped the skins off. Next time, I will use balanced almonds to start with :)

It gets like that doesn't it Kimmy - you find you don't even want to eat what you've made after a while.  Let's hope others do though  ;D   I love your cookie bouquets.
