Still experimenting with recipes for Xmas day - latest try was leek and mushroom pie, not bad; it is definitely a contender. Helps that it is very quick and easy!
Like you Marina I am still testing recipes for our GD. Your leek & mushroom pie caught my eye and I was wondering if the filling is soft or firm. The reason I ask is that I want to make a pithivier for her, it's like a round pasty/pie. It has a roast pumpkin & spinach filling and I would like to put some sort of mushroom base under the pumpkin but am not sure if it would make the pastry to soggy. I was hoping to get it made the day before rather than cook it on the day. Thanks for any suggestions.

DD took me to the Black Friday sales yesterday. I bought some new bed linen, a couple of Christmas presents and a copy of the RTE Dinner Book. We then went out for lunch to our favourite Italian restaurant. A nice day out but very tiring.

Supermarket shopping yesterday and then a trip to the library.
Mostly cooking today and a little bit of reading.

I made another 3 dozen shortbread and 3 dozen gingerbread cookies at the weekend. They seem to go as fast as I make them.
Today I made Honey Mustard Chicken Legs for dinner from RTE, Spaghetti Bolognaise also from RTE and Braised Steak and Onions in the SC.

Cookie, your chicken stir fry looks tasty.
We are having a beef casserole for the men, lentil patties for me, potato mash, carrots, creamed silver beet & grilled tomatoes.

Chookie, it's good to hear that you are finally moving in to your new home. I hope it isn't too long before you are settled in.
Yesterday was DH birthday. The family arrived with lunch from our favourite Italian restaurant and I made a trifle and fruit salad for dessert.

That’s a perfect looking pudding Margaret, you’ve certainly got them down pat. Do you have vegan family members as far as the Panacotta goes? I thought it was strange that a recipe would ask to use darker sugar as it would alter the colour we are used to with our Panacottas. The difference in the next one will be interesting.
Yes Judy one of our GD is vegan. These are a trial run for her Christmas dessert to go with the vegan meringue I made a week ago. I've yet to decide on her main course, possibly a vegetable type wellington.

Thank you ladies for you kind thoughts, I'm starting to feel a bit better now.
Cookie, your bread and baguettes look good.
Yesterday I made another Christmas pudding, this one is for a friend who gives me lots of vegetables from her garden.
Today I tried out a vegan Panacotta recipe from Cookidoo. I didn't use the raspberry sauce just poured a bit of jam over it as it was only a trial run. It looks a bit dark so next time I will use white sugar and not raw sugar and vanilla sugar to see if it will look a bit lighter. Both DH and DS said it tastes nice
