What are you cooking today?

[Amy :-)]

Welcome to the cooking thread Strawplash Sounds like you and Gordon are having a great time together! Well done

Those cupcakes look yummy Amy.
Your lamingtons look great too Maddy, I love your 'styling' 

Brunch went well,
Corn fritters with bacon
Poached eggs using poachies...easy but not quite as 'pro' looking as I had hoped
Roasted tomatoes with thyme
Sour cream loaf (rising now)

Thanks Jam! Your brunch sounds yummy, I would definitely be satisfied with a menu like that!

Lovely to read of your cooking fun Strawplash.
I haven't done any yet today but the plan is rolls for chicken burgers, Tenina's Granuesli and either a biscuit or Tenina's latest slice. I'll report back.

Cookie, have you got Jamie's Ministry of Food? He has a granola recipe very similar to Tenina's...it doesn't have butter so no trans fats and I hate to say it, maybe a little easier than Granuesli I make that one all the time...We had it as part of brunch this morning

lemon curd tarts.....malto milk biscuits for base, Teninas lemon curd filling, and lemon curd cream





 Belated "Birthday cake" for hubby.....he doesn't eat cake....I know, weird right?  .....so his fave biscuits & flavour were substituted.
Why the moustaches you ask?......well, he grew a moe for "movember"



......and it has taken on a life of its own!  

Everyone tells him how cool it looks (with the exception of a handful of Women).....so it is now a permanent fixture on his face  
I think he looks like Old Gringo - bikey debt collector man.....

This is absolutely stunning. Maddy,, you should place these on Pinterest! Is the mo edible???

[Amy :-)]

Lovely work Maddy, as usual

[maddy]

Thanks  .....he has declared it is now "mo-anuary" 
the moes are not edible....I had no black fondant, so used these straw clips

Mab19, great cooking yesterday.  How did your roasted beetroot recipe go?

Judy, the roast beetroot was lovely.  Will certainly do it again.

Have just made a batch of Scrummy Lemon Melt Cookies.   They taste delicious.

Great tarts Maddy!

I've make a carrot cake in the new nordicware pan - its the first one of that brand I have owned and the cakes just slip out so easily (with assistance of Uni's cake release!)

Uniced:


And with a drizzle of cream cheese frosting:


Also made some focaccia for dinner using the no fuss bread recipe:


And I've got a beef casserole cooking away in the slow cooker for dinner so I think my cooking is done for the day!

A bit of this and a bit of that - great cooking, you've done well snappy.
