MJ, well done!  Lovely looking loaf.

Cookie, how long do you blitz your cubes of custard for ice-cream.  I tried it once and it turned back into liquid :P :P

Nice to see you back on air JulieO, had missed your postings then realised you were off to Adelaide this week. Bet you picked up every ingredient you can't get in Whyalla, so what delights are going to be popping up with photos anytime soon  ;) ;)

Cakes / Re: Mississippi Mud Cake

Mud cake certainly doesn't taste like mud isi but it is a very heavy, dense cake. Quite popular here in wedding cakes too.  You can have a white chocolate or dark chocolate mud cake.  I guess it is called a mud cake because if you mix dirt with a bit of water the texture would be similar to this cake.  Hope that gives you some idea of what we are talking about here. It certainly is not light and fluffy and the picture gives a good indication of the texture.

I keep sneaking out into the kitchen and having a spoonful Cookie, it is really nice.  I remember my Mum's used to be a little icy but this is nice and creamy.  When I saw her today we reminisced about the 'good old days' of ice-cream making. It used to be such a treat for us kids and then Amscol put out those blocks of ice-cream in cardboard and we were in ice-cream heaven. I must make a batch and take around to her.

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Re: Recipe Review - Meatloaf
« on: February 11, 2010, 12:22:17 pm »
Thanks for the review Chelsea - 2 pages for 1 recipe has made me flick right past it too.  Perhaps one day I might try it.  I know meatloaf is my neighbour's favourite meal so perhaps I could invite them over to enjoy it with us. It doesn't say but I presume it would serve 4 people?

Desserts / Light Evaporated Milk vanilla ice-cream
« on: February 11, 2010, 08:19:26 am »
Name of Recipe: Light Evaporated Milk vanilla ice-cream
Number of People: 4 serves but could be doubled
Ingredients:
1 can Carnation light evaporated milk
3 tblspns castor sugar
1 teaspn gelatine
1 tblespn boiling water
1 teaspn vanilla essence

Preparation: No TMX needed for this stage.
Dissolve gelatine in the boiling water.  Mix the sugar with the milk until the sugar dissolves then mix the gelatine mixture in. Pour the mixture into a metal tray.
Chill for around 1.5 hours until the mixture starts to freeze around the edges.  Place your TMX bowl in the fridge during this time if you are not using it.
Pour the ice-cream mixture into the cold TMX bowl,**add the vanilla essence and whisk on speed 10 for 2 minutes.  Pour the mixture back into the tray and freeze for another 2 hours.  At this point I checked it and noticed it had separated into 2 layers, a caramel colour on the bottom with a creamy coloured thin layer on the top.   I decided to mix it all up together with a fork whilst still in the tray then place back in the freezer to totally set. Looks right now but I might try leaving it freeze for a little longer before this beating stage.

Tips/Hints:
I'm sure this is the recipe my Mum used to use when I was a kid and I even have the rectangular metal tin she used to use.  It is delicious and next time I will most certainly double the recipe.
Found this in a 1960 edition of a Woman's Weekly cookbook called Cookery in Colour when Leila C. Howard was the editor.

Strawberry version - Omit vanilla essence and fold in 150gms strawberry puree.  Add it at this stage **.

Today I concocted a new pork dish and found a low-fat vanilla ice-cream recipe from a 1960's Women's Weekly book made from evaporated milk - just like Mum used to make.  About to post it right now.

 I have only ever used a can of artichokes once before, many years ago & this one sounds nice and worth having a go.  Thanks Bartoncs.

Main Dishes / Savoury Pork
« on: February 11, 2010, 03:54:51 am »
Name of Recipe:Savoury Pork
Number of People: 4 serves
Ingredients:
200g tomato passata (I used Megan's recipe which I had in the freezer)
160g beer (or stock if you prefer)
40g brown sugar
750g diced pork - 3cm cubes
1 tblspn tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek or chilli to taste
S & P to taste
2-3 tblespns cornflour to thicken

Preparation:

Place all ingredients except S & P and cornflour into TMX bowl.
Cook 35 mins 100o C Reverse, speed 1, MC off.
When bubbling, turn temperature down to 90oC.
When cooked, season to taste and thicken with cornflour mixed with a little water.
Leave sit in the Thermosaver whilst you prepare mashed potato & steamed vegies or rice to serve.

Tips/Hints:

I diced my meat from a Scotch Fillet roast today & from a 1.4kg scotch fillet roast I ended up with 1kg meat by the time I cut all the fat off. Next time I would use a pork fillet - it will be a lot quicker to prepare and will only need 20-25 minutes cooking time.

Basic idea from a recipe on Best Recipes but with my own take on it.

 ;D ;D ;D No Thermomixer it is called give and take.  I rarely give them to him so sometimes he has to take what is served up. He doesn't complain but he would if he got them once a week.

I love the texture of junket.  Where do you buy junket powder though?  We used to use junket tablets back in the dim dark ages.
