GD loves the 5. I think the original 31 has had a very full life. She joined Cookidoo and made Lentil Bol sauce and sent me a photo. DIL loves the 6. Will try the free Cookidoo for 6 months before she decides. We are all on different WiFi. She is quite excited as she has only had my hand me downs and this is new. She set it up herself, didn’t need the consultant.
K Atie, you could give your DD your 31 and buy an extra bowl.
Today I will make lemon cakes in my new square cake pan. I now prefer to make individual cakes rather than a big one. Good to freeze and just take out as many as necessary. Doesn’t look as dramatic but more practical for me.

Marina, enjoy your new computer.
Had a shopping day in Lygon Street and Melbourne.
Bought 2 cook books, ( more on these later ), a large block of Parmesan cheese and a packet of small Italian Biscuits. They are jam. filled. I’ll copy these. A pair of long socks that are imitation sheep wool lined. They are for the winter when you are reading.
In DJ ‘s , 2 tops, a Le Creuset baking sheet and a Le Creuset 12 hole square cake pan. A dramatic table cloth with large bunches of grapes to cover the glass table. Some Makeup.

All the baking I did over Easter is coming in very handy. Visitors in and out and I just defrost and reheat.

Making the Apple cake that takes 4 different types of Apple. I like this recipe as it has just enough cake mixture to hold the Apple together. The little bit of Rum is nice also. Recipe on my Blog. https://achookwoman.blogspot.com/search?q=Apple+cake

I found 2 trays of Turkey mince in the freezer. I decided to make nuggets. I looked up Farfallinas recipe on the Forum for Chicken Cordon Blue and added a bit of my KFC spice mix. I used a medium sized ice cream scoop to form patties and made an egg, milk and flour wash plus a good bit of KFC powder. Then Panko crumbs. Shallowed fried briefly. Will AF them when needed. Made 25. Dinner tonight and the rest frozen.
I always fry a little of the mix before proceeding to test the balance of flavours.

Very busy jobs, Mab and Judy.
I’m having another go at the garage. Still a lot to go to the op shop.
My handyman is coming today to put up a hose reel and a bracket to hang up brooms and rakes.
The fire alarms went off. They needed the batteries replaced. What a racket.

I poached some pears with Star Anise. Very good combination. Used as a base for crumble.

Nolan’s asked me to write a review. Did it. They insisted that I take some Muffins home. I don’t particularly like muffins but tried 1/2 and it was nice. Loaded with Raspberries and Macadamia nuts.
I’m having a visitor for lunch Thursday so think I will heat one and serve with custard and Raspberries. The muffins are massive.

How lovely Chookie. She is wonderful doing Tai Chi at 91.
. She is on a walking frame. Can only do the arm exercises. She told me she attends the Tai Chi classes mostly for company. She is very frail but so determined to be independent.

Had a nice chat with the kitchen staff at Nolan’s Restaurant after our dinner. Complimented them on their sauces and dressings. Discussed their Sweets menu. Their Apple tart is divine. Their pastry chef wants a taste of my SD crumpets. Offer of a free desert and coffee if I’m prepared to share. Didn’t tell them I’d do it for nothing.
