Lovely presentation chookie. Cookie mum used to encase a date in a little Cornish pasty shape - is that what you made?

Gert, how big a pot did you use for that amount of carcasses? I've only fitted 4 in my 6L stock pot.

I have a big big stock pot I bought at KMart a long tie ago for cheap. It is maybe  15 or more litres. I had  about 4 litres of stock which I reduced by half .......about. I kept all the surviving wish bones for the granddaughter of another forum member . She makes  a wish for her sister who has Angleman's Syndrome.

Yes it is but Molly is now six and has progressed greatly thanks to her mother's perservance. She can't speak yet but is working on it. Very lovely intelligent girl.

Today I baked a one-minute bread loaf, dusted off the pie maker to make pies from last night's leftover gourmet beef casserole, and made a huge batch of bolognese in the pressure cooker, 1/2 of which I've made into lasagne, the rest for the freezer.
Thinking about making some lemon curd now - can just imagine it spread over the one minute bread for breakfast mmmm!

Baked soft rolls using the tangzhong method. Cooked roux on stovetop. Used thermie for first round of kneading but finished the kneading manually.

Not happy with the process yet but they were delicious. The chicken and potato curry filled buns brought flashbacks of my childhood :)

BZB they look lovely.
I made a sourdough loaf today and an ordinary one. Some gnocchi to put in the freezer for DD when she is on call, chicken stew to eat our first night on the road filled with lots of veggies and vacuum sealed some trail mix to nibble on, after I had made it.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
