What are you cooking today?

It looks like a very healthy recipe cookie.

My experimental recipe from yesterday is now residing in my compost bin!!  Only made a smashed chickpea sandwich filling today as it was way too hot to do much cooking.

How disappointing Marina, especially as it wasn’t something quick.  We all have those moments at some stage I think.
Don’t laugh at the name but I made this recipe today, double quantity with some other adult ingredients added https://masandpas.com/chicken-soup-for-babies/. I enjoyed it, it tasted different to my chicken soup but didn’t turn out that colour!

So long as it was nourishing and you enjoyed it Judy ,... as they say "what's in a name ... "

You could re name it Judy. Call it Judy’s Chicken Soup.

Cookie and Judy, both recipes look good.  Marina, my failures go to the Chooks. They come back as eggs 
Family for Dinner tonight. Roast chicken on BBQ, Cauli Cheese, greens , ratatouille and roasted plums with Ice Cream.  Might also make a Pear tart to us up the leftover Almond Paste.

Chookie, I was going to send it to my neighbour for his chooks, but the beans hadn't cooked properly ... can you imagine a flock of flatulent chooks?? ... they might be able to fly without the aid of wings they would be so gassed up!

Marina, love the image.  However the Chooks wouldn’t mind that the beans weren’t cooked.

Jet propelled chooks. The mind boggles.

There has been so much fruit on the Cherry Plum tree that several branches have broken and many are laying on the ground.  Yesterday we and neighbours picked 5 very large buckets of Plums. Think I will make more plum vinegar. It has proven to be very handy. Also plum sauce. 
We also have another plum tree with larger plums.  Last night I roasted some with maple syrup.  They were delicious.
Mashed an Avacado with Meredith feta. Lovely with smoked salmon on toast.
TMX veggie soup.
The TMX ran all day yesterday.  Don’t know what I would do without it.

Avocado, feta and smoked salmon sounds divine.
No cooking today-I don’t think- the day is still fairly young. 😀

Made a raw Lamington slice , Skinnymixers. It is just cashews and coconut. Very nice , a day late but that’s fine . I had a hot chocolate after melting the chocolate. It is on Cookidoo too.

Apricot jam, added two white peaches as not enough apricots . Five jars very happy . Love this jam , now to remember to label them this time .

[cookie1]

Surprise jam.

Plums and more plums.  By chance found ISI’s Plum Liqueur recipe.  The cherry Plums are too small to remove pips before cooking so I put them in the TMX and zap, 3 seconds / speed 6. Then follow with recipe.
Made a double lot of Plum vinegar. Can sit for a couple of days.
Plum sauce next, then chutney.
Bit cooler so made Lamb shank and barley soup, and a beef casserole.
We are leaving the rest of the plums for the birds.  The parrots are coming in flocks.
