Thanks Cookie, this looks like a fun way to play with that starter.

Sounds like the perfect cake for a chocolate lover Cookie, I'm sure it was appreciated

I love that container. I use 2 x  5litre Decore buckets for my flour.

Interesting shopping Kristy. I had never heard of that. Jamberie how are you going with the cold?
Neither had I Cookie! I'm terribly out of sync with technology but a friend convinced me that this device was the best way for me to access what I wanted.


Does anyone actually enjoy clothes shopping? I sometimes wonder with all the people I hear say not.

I did get another pair of those pants today, as well as a Chromecast device which apparently will allow me to stream Internet television to my TV. Or that's what the techie friends are saying anyway, they can come set it up too! I'm hopeless at that sort of thing.
You will love the Chromecast Kristy Spiegl. I use them (we have 2) for Netflix. I use the Netflix app to 'send' the show to the Chromecast which is plugged into our entertainment unit which is plugged into the tv. Works a treat :)

I bought one of these from Aldi to store (most of) my big Costco bags of flour. Great product and great value.
Apparently this is what I will be doing Jamberie,  I'm really hoping it is as easy as it sounds.

We love this dish. With the massive amount of sauce it makes, I had success using 1.4kg chicken beast and doubling the marinade. I cooked the extra marinated chicken in a pan and added it to the dish at the end. An absolute potluck winner.

So I finally caved and went clothes shopping yesterday. I hate doing it. But I found THOSE pants, the perfect pair that fit my body and are super comfortable. Naturally there was only one in my size. Hunting down some more today.

Good info, thanks Cookie

The error reads that the lid isn't on and /or the jug isn't in properly. It is of course, but once the error comes up once, it starts coming more often and eventually thermie just won't run as it won't register the lid. Apparently it's to do with the sensor.
It's a reasonably quick service issue that alot of people have had and my lovely consultant has already sent a service request for me. So hopefully I will get a quick turnaround and be back to normal soon.

Sadness :( My prolonged cooking session provoked that nasty c144 error and thermie needs to go to hospital. At least I got it all done.

Just showed DH those pics Cookie, he wants to know if he can trade you the car for chocolate haha! I told him he had no chance. What a lovely way to spend a day.

Jams and Chutneys / Re: Strawberry Conserve

Used this today and got great results. I think this is the first strawberry jam I have made that has set first shot since I got thermie. Thanks Cookie for the heads up and Chookie for the recipe :)

MIL always appreciates effort and thoughtfulness, she is an amazing woman and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit today. We also went to the Canningvale markets where I found some gorgeous and reasonably priced strawberries and a 10kg box of tomatoes, so I have been making jam and tomato paste, and chopping the rest of the tomatoes since we got home. I had completely underestimated my little one's love of jam and we were nearly out of my jars from summer. Just an entirely pleasant day really.

I'm working on putting together a hamper of goodies for MIL's birthday. So Tenina's citrus curd (all lemon), a lemon sugar scrub, Skinnymixers seeded mustard, raw chocolate bark (Quirky's) and possibly a few other bits if I can manage my time today.

Yep absolutely freezing in Perth. I was breathing steam inside my house at 10 am. Took kiddo out bowling, we are having such fun this holidays. DH gets home tomorrow night and I may have rearranged half our furniture in his absence.

Stunning cake Kimmy, lucky sister you have. Chicken soup is such a soul food, I have my own pot on and there are no germs here.
Afternoon cook up, still packing the freezer before DH gets home Friday night. Skinnymixers bhuna gosht in the slow cooker, chicken soup on the stove top,  bread dough proving for kiddo to play with (we will get some interesting shaped rolls to go with soups haha) pumpkin soup in the freezer already and a creamy cauliflower one cooking now. Preparing banana bread batter and veg for a new batch of stock now.

Apart from the rolls, kiddo has made anti LCM Bars,  butter and prepared his fruit for the freezer. He loves frozen citrus, banana and berries as snacks.
