Making the Apple cake that takes 4 different types of Apple. I like this recipe as it has just enough cake mixture to hold the Apple together. The little bit of Rum is nice also. Recipe on my Blog. https://achookwoman.blogspot.com/search?q=Apple+cake

I found 2 trays of Turkey mince in the freezer. I decided to make nuggets. I looked up Farfallinas recipe on the Forum for Chicken Cordon Blue and added a bit of my KFC spice mix. I used a medium sized ice cream scoop to form patties and made an egg, milk and flour wash plus a good bit of KFC powder. Then Panko crumbs. Shallowed fried briefly. Will AF them when needed. Made 25. Dinner tonight and the rest frozen.
I always fry a little of the mix before proceeding to test the balance of flavours.

Very busy jobs, Mab and Judy.
I’m having another go at the garage. Still a lot to go to the op shop.
My handyman is coming today to put up a hose reel and a bracket to hang up brooms and rakes.
The fire alarms went off. They needed the batteries replaced. What a racket.

I poached some pears with Star Anise. Very good combination. Used as a base for crumble.

Nolan’s asked me to write a review. Did it. They insisted that I take some Muffins home. I don’t particularly like muffins but tried 1/2 and it was nice. Loaded with Raspberries and Macadamia nuts.
I’m having a visitor for lunch Thursday so think I will heat one and serve with custard and Raspberries. The muffins are massive.

How lovely Chookie. She is wonderful doing Tai Chi at 91.
. She is on a walking frame. Can only do the arm exercises. She told me she attends the Tai Chi classes mostly for company. She is very frail but so determined to be independent.

Had a nice chat with the kitchen staff at Nolan’s Restaurant after our dinner. Complimented them on their sauces and dressings. Discussed their Sweets menu. Their Apple tart is divine. Their pastry chef wants a taste of my SD crumpets. Offer of a free desert and coffee if I’m prepared to share. Didn’t tell them I’d do it for nothing.

That’s crazy for this time of the year cookie. I hope the nights are cooler for you.
. Just thinking the same. Yesterday morning it was so cold here that people walking their dogs were dressed for winter. I made more Cumquat marmalade. It’s too thin so back in the TMX today and will boil for another 10 minutes. My visitor loved the Walnut and Olive Oil loaf so I gave it to her. I’ll make another today with a few changes. Also , another batch of the Mango and Tomato Chutney. Experimenting with turkey mince to make nuggets.

Cookie , Marina and Judy, just as well there isn’t a Cosco near me as I’d go wild. The Source is expensive but you can buy just a small amount.
Today I’m having a member of the Tai Chi class for lunch. She is 91 so I will pick her up. I’ve made everything ready. soup, bread , Crumble.

Very professional looking, Cookie.
Yesterday made Walnut and Olive Oil loaf. Lovely fresh with Philly like cream cheese. Will try it toasted next. It’s a Maggie Beer recipe. I used Bakers flour , not plain flour as I don’t like cakey bread.
I also made Pumpkin and Cauliflower soup. I worked hard to get lots of flavour into it. In the end, the added garlic, ginger, onion and nutmeg were too strong and I had to mix cream into the soup to tone it down. Perfect now.
Pear crumble. I’ve some leftover crumble mix and will add a little Carmen’s granola to pad it out.
Friend dropped off some Cumquats. I made 5 small jars of jam last night. More today.

Lovely Mab.
I reheated Pizza in AD. I sprayed the back crust with water first. It prevented it from drying out too much.

That’s lovely with the thermomixes being passed down Chookie.
. GD often sends me photos off what she makes.
