Corn chowder and creamy vegetables with pasta.
I am not doing much cooking at home yet, just very simple things. I am not sure if I totally trust my balance and strength with handling hot food yet but I hope to be given the OK to drive again when I see my surgeon next week so I can re-start my weekly routine of getting away to our home in the country at the weekends and a fully stocked kitchen pantry

That was a lovely surprise, Chookie.
I have been pretty inactive on here recently - now that I am healing I have very little news, just slogging on and trying to be good with my physio.
I returned my loan "Rehab at Home" chair and leg rest earlier in the week. I now just have to return the crutches to my colleague at work who had loaned them to me and yesterday I gave away my knee scooter and elevation pillow to a friend who had a friend who had just broken her leg - that was the last of my 'aids' gone so I feel quite pleased with myself.
Onward and upward, as they say!!

Thanks for the bundt tin / round tin feedback Chookie and Cookie. I have never actually cooked in a bundt tin, simply because I was never sure about the cooking time - maybe one day I will feel adventurous and give it a try - will have to buy the tin first, though!

Physio with a new therapist, still at Kieser gym. New exercises and told to wear my shoes as I am doing them as my foot is very sore because I was in a moon boot for so long and the foot has to get used to being 'normal' again.

Your cake looks great, Cookie.
I have a bundt tin question - if you cook a cake in a Bundt or round tin with a central hole in it (clumsy wording there, but I am not sure what you call the central column in a round tin!). Anyway, getting away from that, do you still cook the cake in such a tin for the same amount of time as you would for a 'standard' cake in a round tin, or for a shorter time and the same temperature?

Mine have been a bit tender for a day or two, buy not such a strong pain as yours, Cookie

Celebration Punch
My neighbour made some yesterday and bought it over for "dusk" drinks. It is absolutely gorgeous. Even the guys got into it instead of wine!

Mab, sorry to read your update, hope things are getting a little easier now.
I had a clean out in my pantry a couple of months ago, Chookie and, like you, threw out a lot of old herbs and spices then split them into two sections - herbs on one side, spices on the other, however, I am thinking that I might put them back into alphabetical order, it seemed easier to find things that way.
Molasses is good in the compost heap Cookie

Now, there's a question Judy!
I am not sure about the macadamias. They should have the right consistency but I think their taste in the cream could be more pronounced as cashews are a more neutral tasting nut whereas macadamias have a slightly stronger taste and I am not sure about pre-soaking macadamias either (pre-soaked nuts tend to break up more rapidly when whizzed for 1 minute at 9 but because macadamias are such a large solid nut they may need more than 1 minute). I have never had enough of this cream left over to freeze. It keeps in the fridge for a few days but I am not sure about freezing. The best bet would be to experiment, but macadamias are a touch expensive for an experiment.
Sorry I am no more help.

I have been reading Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club books. 'Who dun its' are not my usual genre, but I am really enjoying these.
Also just finished Kevin Kwan's Lies and Weddings, another good light read.

That doesn't sound too good K Atie. Are the Keiser exercises those at a Keiser gym? That's where I am currently going for my physio. The physios are very good, well trained, very helpful and encouraging, although the machines look confronting.

I heard that that theatre had closed, Chookie. It is a great shame. Was it the only one in Ballarat?
