Made the tomato and peach salad to take as a gift. Time consuming removing the skin off the almonds.
My 7 is playing up. Inconsistent starting. Think it’s electronic. Will have to go back.

Chookie you’re not having much luck . Have you turned it off at the wall let it have a rest then start up again . It’s not the internet, sometimes my 6 is slow to start as our internet is bad .

KAtie, good idea. Will try turning it off at switch.
I’m making an apple slice that is all the rage in Ballarat. Base, cooked apple, sour cream topping. I’ll post if ok.

She will appreciate it Chookie. I made a delicious Carrot Cake a couple of days ago. It has brandy in it. It’s a huge cake so I froze half. The recipe is from Bec’s Table.
This afternoon I hope to make some Chilli Jam and maybe some Halloumi.

Cookie which recipe for Chill Jam. One is based on tomato and one has sultanas as the sweetener. .? Is there another recipe?

[K Atie]

Made Quick pickled pineapple salsa ! It was very easy , not sure of the balance as I halved the recipe, seemed to had to improvise a little as my brain was not quite together .

This recipe has tomatoes, red capsicum and chilli flakes Chookie.
I made some Haloumi today. It takes ages, but was fun. I’d read that you could use the left over whey to make ricotta.  I gave it a go and made about 3 tablespoons of ricotta. 😀😀😀 lots of Haloumi though.

More Portuguese Custard tarts. I took the last lot to Probus morning tea. They raffled them. 2 boxes of 6. I now cook the custard the day before I make them. I also keep lots of rolls of the pastry in the freezer , ready to go. It takes about 1 hour to roll out the disks to line the cup cake tin , bake 15 mins at 200.
