I love Bircher Museli in the summer but not in winter. However a found a recipe for pancakes and realised that it was Bircher Museli with an egg added. The oats are ground into a powder and then everything else is added. Cooked in a non stick pan.

Out for dinner tonight. I’m taking Portuguese Custard Tarts , garlic bread and cheese and pesto scrolls.

Exactly, Judy. I’ve been a little guilty myself, but try not to pig out. A neighbour makes the best ham sandwiches and another egg and lettuce sandwiches. These are things I don’t often make.

Ha ha Chookie, I’ve seen that done when I supplied the prawns for Christmas a few decades ago. I peeled them to make it easier and cleaner to eat and one guest never left that end of the table until the last prawn had gone. They think we don’t notice these things.

Katie, it’s great to have the young ones to help. Best wishes for a successful party and Happy Birthday for DD.
It’s cold and wet here. I’m cleaning silver. Not my favourite job.
A little cooking, garlic bread to take out tomorrow. Custard for the tarts tomorrow. A new cooked carrot , feta and walnut salad to try.
Yesterday a friend dropped in and bought scones from Bakers Delight. Horrible. The TMX ones are so much better.

Judy, the Portuguese Tarts bring out the worst in people. At Probus, when 4 people wanted the last tart, they cut in into 4. At a neighbourhood get together, I’ve seen one person shift the plate of tarts to in front of her. I’ve seen a family member hide several tarts before the plate was placed on the table. I’m making some tomorrow to take out for dinner.

Thanks Judy for putting in the link. You are amazing.
When in Darwin last year , I had Korean fried chicken.( you know how you eat things on holiday, that you wouldn’t eat at home ) It was extra crispy. I’ve been reading about it. It’s the double frying that does the trick. I made some using chicken legs, ( not my favourite cut).
I brined the legs in salt and water. Made a batter , to which I added K FC spices. Fried the legs, and placed in fridge overnight. Then I reheated them in AF. Result, extra crispy. The Koreans say that with double cooking , the chicken doesn’t go soggy when cold.

Oh dear we ran into a few hiccups yesterday . So DS and I did a trip to Ballarat. We visited a lot of stores .. Dan Murphys was the best , DS did an order on Line , we were going to pick up the order , it all worked out . But we had to collect four trolleys worth ! My gosh Between DS Price comparison and changing some of it to the shop prices ( instead of on line ) we saved heaps . DS is very good a tetra packing ( like a work of art ) we had a bolt of hessian , fold trestle tables , lights - heaps . Good old blanket covered it up for our dangerous drive around town . Breaks needed fair warning , roundabout was an experience ( back of the car just floated around ) !! At this point l totally toned down the driving and drove like an ancient artefact . Also DS directed me up the steepest hill and I did think we might not make it - but of course it was fine . We dinned on toasties from a drive through sandwich press place ( we ate inside ) . A great day and a pleasure to be with DS . To think I was going to do this on my own to help DH ( who is a tad unwell ) . Bunnings , total tools ,m&m, office works and Harvey Norman . We even squeezed in a speaker . Ready for bed and tomorrow . Hope this essay make you all laugh! And yes seems the young are still replying yes ( help ) .

Thanks Chookie, I’ll have to make them when DD is over as she is the tart lover and will help us eat them. For just the two of us you know who won’t be able to stop once he starts 😁
