As this requires 1.5 hours cooking time I'm surprised this falls under a 'Rush Hour' sub title. Allow yourself a couple of hours all up. Definitely well worth making though as it is extremely flavoursome and the cauliflower mash is a really nice smooth and creamy change from potato. I'll definitely make this one again and will be looking forward to it.

Sorry to hear about DH Mich - lucky he has a loving nurse to take care of him and I hope he makes a speedy recovery  :-* I think there are a few more states that the FF hasn't been that you will be able to meet up again, but I'm sad to not catch up this year with you  :'(

Simple dinner last night with just me and DS. I've made a note on the recipe to leave at least 1/2 cm of flesh around the skin so that it holds it shape. I only had left the skin and it just collapsed therefore its not a very good boat. I had to steam the sweet potato for an extra 10 mins before they were soft enough. I don't really enjoy the taste of tuna unless its in something, and this was absolutely delish.

What' sit like CP?
The first slices were on a loaf that was a couple of days old (used for toast) and it was very good. The second loaf was used on a fresh loaf of mine and it was only ok. I don't know whether it was my cutting style or a part of the loaf that was at fault but it tended to tear in the same part of the loaf as I was slicing. Also it doesn't seem to cut right down to the bread board because the slice guard prevents the knife from doing so and you have to change the angle to do so. Having noticed that DS has brought the old bread knife out from retirement, all I can say is "great idea, but don't rush out and buy one".

cookie, nothing is linked to the Unami Paste  ;)

Very quick and easy to make. Because of the rolled oats this is a very thick mix that makes a very thick 'pikelet'. I wasn't sure if I forgot to put the sugar in as it seemed to lack some sweetness, so the topping needed to have this.

Looks lovely cookie. Noticed the new Festive Flavour cookbook has one that is almost identical to the one in Tenina's calendar, but a couple of subtle differences  ;) I think I will keep it in mind the next time we have guests over as it looks simple but a little different to the usual dip & crackers

Re the cookbooks, I've got your messages and apologise for not getting back to you individually but my business is taking up so much of my Thermie time. Katie I will print you off a copy and I'm assuming JD will take it back for you. Cash will be the way to go as I give them to people so I don't have to reconcile my bank account. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone...it won't be long now...

Paul, give them a call direct instead of waiting for them to respond. They will probably give you details of a Melbourne consultant that lives nearby to your daughter who you will be able to deal direct with. Not sure what the turnaround time is delivery ATM. There may a consultant who sees this and PM's you direct as well.

glad you hit him cookie  ;D yes, its not the flaky soft pastry that most people probably expect, but hey thats how they must do it in Poland  ;)

Am I imagining it or is the new plane etiquette in cattle class to not recline  your seat at all to keep everyone happy? I got on a flight at 1:30am and after not having any sleep at all in the process of getting to the airport and boarding I was not allowed to recline my seat even though I did not want a meal and just wanted to go to sleep. The person behind me was up in arms that I did so and I was not allowed to recline my seat to try and get some sleep until she tapped me on the shoulder and said OK. I think that is wrong.  Why give people a reclinable seat if they are not entitled to roll it back whenever they want? (I'm also saying at this point that I don't recline at all except on a night flight)

I was going to my parents place in the country for lunch and said I'd make dessert. I made some sea salt meringues after getting up early. I didn't think they worked out so I started to make the 4 Blades Golden Syrup Dumplngs and a nice custard. I got so far, and then went to pick up the meringues to chuck them in the bin and they had crisped up on the outside much to my surprise. Took the meringues and hoped for the best, and plopped some whipped cream and strawberries on top and my dad who does not have a sweet tooth at all wanted seconds --I just about fell over -- winner! Will try and see if I can convert to TM another day.

I've bought Scan Pans. I have a wok. I've even bought a frypan and a set of saucepans for a holiday home. My general opinion is that they are nothing special.
