What are you cooking today?

[Halex]

Gert, hope so, once today is over & she is home it will be the start if her recovery.

Decadent Dot, thanks again & how are you now?

JD, your chicken dish. Thinking of throwing these. To the slow cooker for my friend. Did you use the hoisin recipe or another one? Thinking of buying drumsticks & skinning & using them.

Cooking for the freezer today. Molly cakes, recipe by Stephanie Alexander (with adaptions) and  oatmeal cookies from Livwise (changes as well). Really nice to have something on hand. Also yogurt.

Halley, sorry to hear about your friend. A very sad time. You are wonderful helping out in such a practical way.

i will make chicken wings with it some time this week

i am a bad mamma

Uni, that link took me to chinese mushrooms.

[judydawn]

The hoisin sauce recipe from CC is in that mushroom thread Michele.

[fundj&e]

with some of the sour cream i made a pastry then fill with what ever i have around the one in the pic is filled with the honey and soy chicken from the forum

the pie is leftover cream cheese pastry filled with canned mangos

Hally you are a wonderful friend to cook for her.

Uni  the pie looks great.

Hally, I used up the last of the bottled hoisin sauce I have and it is a great idea to remove the skin before cooking that recipe - no unwanted fat floating around in the sauce that way.  Remember 3 hours on high will be enough, remove the drumsticks (take the meat off if you want or leave them as they are) and thicken the sauce with some cornflour.  For DH & SIL whilst I am away, I packed the second batch, deboned, into ziplock bags and flattened them out so that they take up very little room in the freezer.

DD glad to see you back posting, hope everything is going OK for you

Thank you lovelies 
I was a little worse for wear yesterday...too much Birthday cheer....never will learn  and to top it off, an early Sunday footy match just about finished me off!
The Birthday girl loved them....it's so nice when people appreciate your efforts 

They are beautiful maddy.  How do you do the icing?

Wilton 1M tip, swirl around from centre to the outside....really is so simple 

  How do you get the cakes to stay where they are and not fall off 

Florist foam wrapped in tissue paper, then secured cupcakes by piercing onto toothpicks.
To build height, use a skewer to secure extra foam blocks.

Love your cupcakes cookie & Katie

The plan changed a bit. So far today. fried rice, beef casserole, ginger crunch, date and walnut roll and Thai chicken sausage rolls.
Chicken drumsticks are in the slow cooker.

[Yvette]

Yum Mich they look good

[judydawn]

Are you stocking the freezer for DH whilst you are on the retreat Michele?  You're having a great cooking day as is Uni.

[Halex]

Looks good everyone

Michele have you posted the thai chicken rolls on here? Another good quick item to grab for my friend

Home after gym & shopping, have stock in pc atm. Just about to start some tika paste.

Having a cuppa first

[mcmich]

Yes Judy, I am cooking to stock the freezer. Looks as though our DH's will be having the same menu while we are away.

Uni the mango pie looks lovely.

Hally, I will post the recipe this evening, it's a good quick recipe with ingredients you would have on hand.

[Halex]

Thanks Michele.

Jd, pleased 2kg of chicken drumsticks for $6, i am browning them now in the slow cooker. I got 13 drumsticks, will split this dish betweenm the families. Thanks so much for doing this recipe

I made the hoisin & used it all plus doubled the sauce. It looks like its going to be fab. Its on high, will 3 hours be enough as I have 2kgs of drumsticks or should I cook longer

 

[Halex]

In the slow cooker, only been in 2 mins but they look great already, yummmm
