Today I made some old fashioned Chocolate Blancmange for my dessert.  I've been buying small chocolate desserts from the supermarket lately so decided to give this a  try and it tastes very nice  and I know what is in it.

Today I made 6 Spinach & Ricotta  parcels in filo pastry and with the left over sheets I made 2 apple and cinnamon parcels.  We shared one of the apple ones at lunch time and it was very nice.

Mab, how are you going with the bread machine? 
Yesterday I played with the Varoma on the 7. I used the steaming function. I placed some  cooked Beef in stout in a small glass dish and covered it. I surround it with carrot, Cauli, zucchini and a small potato, cut in half. Steamed for 20 minutes. A very convenient meal.

Chookie my breadmaking the the bread machine has been hit and miss.  A few days ago  I put all the ingredients in the bowl and had forgotten to put the blade in.  I had to tip it all out put the blade in then the ingredients but not in order.  It was a very nice loaf of bread.  Yesterday I remembered the blade and measured everything carefully and the bread was very heavy and didn't rise much.  DS liked it DH said he didn't want any more of it. I will not give up :)

This morning I made the fruit cake for our eldest DS's birthday tomorrow and this was successful.  This afternoon I made tuna patties for GS and then used some of the left over mixture to make samosa in a machine I had bought from KMart. I don't think the machine got hot enough so I finished cooking them in the oven.

Our eldest DS called in this afternoon to tell us that they have sold their lovely house and 17 acres of bush. We are rather sad about this because we have spent so many lovely times there  having afternoon teas in the sun or sitting around the camp fire with a camp oven roast and a nice bottle or two of good wine.  Since his chainsaw accident he has still not been able to work and has found it difficult to maintain everything as he would like to so we understand his decision.

Over the last couple of days I have made Chicken and vegetable casserole, Lasagne, Bolognaise sauce, Leek and Potato soup and a loaf of bread in the bread maker.  I now have fruit soaking in sherry for a fruit cake.

Katie I have porridge every morning for breakfast it's been one of the few things that I could eat without any problem.  I have even had it for dinner when nothing else would stay down.
I like my eggs poached and very runny.  DH thinks they look disgusting.

Yesterday I made some Chow Mein using chicken mince that I had bought for sausage rolls then realised that I had I had sausage rolls in the freezer.

Today I am making filling and sauce for cannelloni although the filling looks a bit thin so might make it into lasagne.
