What are you cooking today?

[Mama Fergie]

The  coconut prawns would be yum JD but would have to cook and eat without freezing.
Thank you, will buy some prawns and ave DD2's family for dinner this week as her MIL goes back to Zimbabwe on the 22nd of this month and she loves seafood as Zimbabwe is landlocked

MF I would be over the moon if someone gave me a bag of mangoes - they are one of my favourite fruits so I would love to have the problem of what to do with them.

Thanks Mich! Wow how smart are you with Damper in the pie machine! That's brilliant.

Goldfish - I bought my pie maker at Woolies for $10. Doesn't get used all that often but with ideas like this maybe I'll use it some more. When I do use it I love it! I normally make huge batches of pies at a time and freeze for later. Perfect snakcs and lunches for hubby.

Thanks Chookie!

DJ - I always think pancakes when someone says flapjacks. I have had them once - I think they are a euro thing. The one I had was full of dried fruit. Lovely! Would be great with chocolate too.

Hally lovely cookies! What makes your Sausage rolls turkish?

Kynton I've never thought of makign a strawberry and apple pie! Thanks for the idea. I think that's on the to do list now.

MF - you are so lucky! How on earth did she come across such quantities of Mango! Yumm.

JD - now you have me dreaming of Mango Daiquiris. Yummmmmmmm


Today I didn't do much - hubby cooked a red wine and garlic beef on the spit for dinner and I made the salad and roast potatoes. I did use the recipe community recipe for my potatoes though and they turned out to be amazing. So so soft and fluffy in the middle while crunchy on the outside.

I also made some butter because I found some cream that's almost expired on sale at Woolies today. Love those $0.46 cartons of pure cream!

I'm more of a Cadbury creme egg kind of girl I buy so many packets so I don't usually run out before august

Many easters ago, Cadbury made a marble chocolate egg similar in size to the creme ones. Thought i bought enough to keep the production going. Sadly they have not been seen in years. But I can still remember the taste. Not even sure if you can buy marble chocolate blocks anymore either.

Made the Beef Strogonoff in the EDC last yesterday early afternoon, then put it in the slow cooker on low until tea time.  Went down a treat - the meat was falling apart melt-in-your-mouth and delicious flavours.  Putting it in the slow cooker gave it extra time to infuse flavour and also meant my TMX was free for the perfect mashed potato accompaniment   
Then we have freshly deep-fried jam filled home made donuts for dessert.  Wicked!

Kimmy, I just googled "cadbury marble chocolate" and guess what? There's a facebook page called "Bring Back Cadbury Marble." LOL

Too hot to do much.  Made Fig Sorbet and Alyce's corn.  Have a visitor for lunch tomorrow so going to turn some of the cooked corn into corn fritters with plum sauce and sour cream.  Will make a water melon salad with red onion and feta to go with fritters.
