Love how you make friends so easily Chookie, when are they coming to stay 😁
. Naughty , Judy. They did invite themselves. Cookie, what do you think of Emilia’s book. ? The peanut biscuits didn’t turn out as I expected. I’ll give them another go as I was naughty and fiddled with the recipe.

Out for lunch so just soup for dinner.

KAtie, I used your lemons for the sauce. Thanks.
I just have to make the Peanut butter cookies from Emelia Jackson’s book. I have lost the recipe for Peanut biscuits that I used to make. Her recipe looks exactly like the lost one.

Yesterday was spent in Lygon St , Carlton. Went to Brunettis for a very early breakfast . I was joined by 2 woman , holidaying from Sydney. They thought I was Italian.!, They were both of Italian decent. Both good cooks. They gave me a lovely Ricotta tart recipe when I told them about my disaster. I’m sending them some dried SD to reconstitute.
I bought 2 books at Readings. ‘Buns ‘ by Louise Hurst and ‘ Some of my best friends are cookies’ by Emelia Jackson. Cookie, I think you would like these. You could check out Emelia on line.
I’m very impressed by how the Buns recipes are set out.
Visited D. O C , an Italian food shop and Cafe and bought 24 month old Parmesan cheese and white anchovies. Also the spice shop and bought seed topping for bread, called anything bagel.
Today I’m recovering!

KAtie, the ricotta cake was a disaster. Not light enough. However I made a simple lemon butter dressing for the steamed veggies and this was nice.

Happy Birthday Mab. Great to see family.
Yesterday had dear friends for lunch. Brought a relative who is the producer for Master Chef. The ricotta cake I made was awful. We smothered it with Mandarin marmalade and cream. She bought me a SD starter which is said to be 100 years old.
Today, my DD is dropping me off in Melbourne while she goes paddling some where. We will meet for lunch.

Chookie I can weigh in grams? Is that what you meant?
Yes, my 7 is set on oz and pounds. This is fine for Cookidoo but not my recipes which are metric.

Cookie, must try the thickening mode. There is so much to play with. I love a challenge.

Thanks again Marina. We have to laugh or we would go mad.

Discovered an issue for me with the 7. My recipes are all metric and the 7 is set at oz and pounds. It hasn’t been an issue with the 6 as the scales haven’t worked for years. I’ve used digital scales when cooking. I believe I can change the 7 but don’t know if this translates to the recipes. I will not have time to test it out until Sunday.

Made an Italian lemon Ricotta cake. Cooked it in a Bundt tin. Will serve it with mandarin sauce and cream.

Thanks Judy. You are a life saver. It’s a shame I can’t post photos. These buns were spectacular. If you like a soft crust, these are the ones. I couldn’t resist having one for dinner. I filled it with large prawns, avocados, lettuce and mayo.
