What are you cooking today?

[cookie1]

Tonight we're having the Ratatouille Terrine from 'Full Steam Ahead'. Will also make some cookies to take to the get together tomorrow. Last night we had steamed mullet with garlic. Yummy.  I intend to make my fruit mince any day now. Just need the time.

Cookie I made my fruit mince middle of last week and then made the pastry and baked on the weekend and then froze them.  So quick and easy with the TM.  Still have a little bit more mince left so will make the next lot of pastry in next couple of days and finish off.   This is a photo from last year's,

 

Today I made some scones, delicious served with homemade strawberry jam and whipped cream, and some cheesy rolls to have with tea.

Thanks Bron, I have put the recipe in the Festive/Christmas section for you.  Being the first time I've made them since converting the recipe of both the filling and pastry, please be aware of the times I've stated.  This is what worked for me, but was waiting until I made again to be sure before I was going to post the recipes. 

I'd love to hear back what you think if you do make them.

Today I have made the fruit/iced coffee/flour cake (2), the passata, worcestershire sauce and sweet chilli sauce.  The yoghurt is under way too and then that is it for the day.  Long breaks inbetween due to the cooking times but I am very happy with everything I have done today.  I have neighbours over doing some pruning for me today and they will be going home with little bottles of sauces & a 1/2 of one of the cakes. I have had fun today doing something different.

Today I made chocolate custard  from the EDC cookbook (reduced the amount of sugar way down).
Also baked a loaf of bread, crackers and choc nut cookies.

Made another lot of pastry to finish off the fruit mince I had left.  Then because I had some pastry left over used it to make a custard tart (made the filling in the TM too), then for tea we had for the first time, the Creamy Tomato & Salami Fettuccini.  Really enjoyed it and I think I'd like to try prosciutto next time, only cooking that separately till crisp either iin the oven or in a dry frypan, then breaking up and adding to the bowl right at the end just to combine through the sauce.

With all the cooking I did today, I still didn't have anything to eat at the end of the day so I made some Ranch dressing with the leftover Jalna plain yoghurt I used as a starter for my own yoghurt (which worked by the way, nice and thick) then made a potato salad and coleslaw which I had with a tin of pink salmon.

Congratulations - they both look great - good to see some more pics from the south of Spain

Sounds like Mrs T may be coming soon to a Forum near you 

Don't think so - she hates computers too !!! 

......  And felt like a virtuous Housewife 

Certainly have been busy while in confinement !

How did it trun out?  Is that the one with hard boiled eggs?

[Thermomixer]

Gosh JD you seem to really be making up for lost time - or getting ready for Geoff's return.  Slow down a bit - I am getting exhausted reading your posts. 

[cookie1]

Yes Thermomixer it is the one with the eggs. I will post a review of it.
