KAtie, the ricotta cake was a disaster. Not light enough. However I made a simple lemon butter dressing for the steamed veggies and this was nice.

Happy Birthday Mab. Great to see family.
Yesterday had dear friends for lunch. Brought a relative who is the producer for Master Chef. The ricotta cake I made was awful. We smothered it with Mandarin marmalade and cream. She bought me a SD starter which is said to be 100 years old.
Today, my DD is dropping me off in Melbourne while she goes paddling some where. We will meet for lunch.

Chookie I can weigh in grams? Is that what you meant?
Yes, my 7 is set on oz and pounds. This is fine for Cookidoo but not my recipes which are metric.

Cookie, must try the thickening mode. There is so much to play with. I love a challenge.

Thanks again Marina. We have to laugh or we would go mad.

Discovered an issue for me with the 7. My recipes are all metric and the 7 is set at oz and pounds. It hasn’t been an issue with the 6 as the scales haven’t worked for years. I’ve used digital scales when cooking. I believe I can change the 7 but don’t know if this translates to the recipes. I will not have time to test it out until Sunday.

Made an Italian lemon Ricotta cake. Cooked it in a Bundt tin. Will serve it with mandarin sauce and cream.

Thanks Judy. You are a life saver. It’s a shame I can’t post photos. These buns were spectacular. If you like a soft crust, these are the ones. I couldn’t resist having one for dinner. I filled it with large prawns, avocados, lettuce and mayo.

Mab, it is so good to hear from you . Wonderful that everything is ok. We can’t manage in these situations without support from family. Take it easy and let them spoil you.

I cooked pasta in the 7 , with the lid off. Bit weird! Saves a separate saucepan the only advantage. Recipe said 160 g for 2.  Too much for me.

GD rang last night. She uses Cookidoo to make Mushroom pasta. Her subscription ran out and she can’t afford a new one. I looked up the recipe for her. I gave my cleaner the Mushroom risotto. Her family loved it.
Leftover Spag Bol and salad tonight.

Zoom meeting and film with Probus today. Haven’t a clue what we are seeing. Lunch box provided. I spent most of yesterday doing a trial pack for my holiday.. I thought the 15 k weight would be the problem but the size of the case was the real limitation. .
