Made a banana cake from the recipe community.  Wish I didn't,  straight into the bin.  Not happy Jan!

Try Mrs Woo's banana cake on this forum, it is almost exactly the same as the Stephanie Alexander recipe and is delicious 😛

I have a very organised secret Santa!😄😄😄

I think I might be the first person to receive their present - it arrived in the mail today.  If my SS looked at my previous track records I have never been able to wait very long before opening my presents - patience has never really been my thing 😀😀😀. So I'm not sure how long I will be able to hold out before I cave in but I am trying to make it to November at least 😳😳



It's a beautiful gold package from POK - which is very exciting.  I've been doing a lot of feeling and I think it is a cloth or material item - maybe an apron or some lovely linen napkins???  I know POK has a fabulous table linen section so I think it might be something from there!

Thank you SS!

Bumping this recipe.  My boys love it - I would describe it as very similar to chocolate yogo that you buy in the supermarket - just without all the preservatives and junk

We are heading off on a well deserved break to the beach.  I am taking TMX with me but I want to also make some good snacks to eat at the beach before we leave (I don't want to spend most of the holiday baking!). Seeing as it's coming into beach season in Australia I thought I would start a topic to get some good ideas for beach snacks - you know food that doesn't melt or need to be kept cold, isn't too effected by sand and can be eaten without utensils.

I'm baking:
Gingerbread cookies
Bliss balls
Muesli bar slice (although these don't hold up so well in the heat)
Banana bread
Cheese and bacon scrolls
Choc chip cookies

If anyone has a recipe or recommendation for cheese flavoured crackers (like cheds) I'd love to hear it.

What are your best tips for beach food?

AB, I am not a sewer but my mum is a quilter and knitter.  She has made a few quilts and knitted rugs for my boys and I am well aware of how much time (and love) she has put into them.  The boys adore them, many have been loved so much they need to be returned for repairs.  I am sure in a few decades when my boys leave home I will be sending their favourite quilts with them!

Hi Ingrid, welcome to the forum 😃

I would put the flour butter and sugar in the bowl, set the dial to closed lid and the hit the turbo button about 3-4 times. Each pulse shoud last 1-2 secs.

Then add the egg and milk and combine speed 5-6 for about 7 secs should do it.  Better to go less, stop the machine and have a look at your dough and decide if you need another couple of seconds.

Good luck!

Thanks for the bump.  I still love this cake and it is eaten within a day at our place, an absolute family favourite!  It's pretty quick and easy, I can normally whip it up whilst cooking dinner, put it in the oven when we are eating and it's ready for dessert.
