It sure does Trudy, and washing up.
I went to buy some bread flours today and the lady persuaded me to try a North African mix. It has Nigella seeds in it and I think sesame seeds too. Both of which I love. I have a loaf rising at the moment, as well as a Classic loaf and a Rye SD.
I spent so long looking for the recipe of the Cherry little cakes yesterday that I didn't have time to make them.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I took some fruit cake out of the freezer instead.

I made some apricot jam and also some tomato jam. I looked in Mum’s CWA book and used that recipe.

Made neighbours a 1 minute loaf.
Making another overnight. Leaving it in the TMX bowl overnight. Will see how it goes.
Trudy, that all sounds nice.

DS brought home a large bag of blood plums and lemons, far more than I need.  I made 8 jars plum and raspberry jam over the weekend.  The rest I will share with a friend.

1 minute bread left in TMX bowl overnight not successful. Maybe other factors.
White peaches have come in at a rush.   Beautiful to eat fresh but too delicate for preserves. Go well with Raspberries but birds ate those. May make a cake with them and rhubarb. Queen of puddings also ok.
Mab, saw lemons for $2 each yesterday.

I have seen them for that price too Chookie, I think it is terrible the price the supermarket sells them for.  If I don't have any lemons I just go to the op shop they sell them for 5 cents each or a bag full for $1 and the money stays local.

Mab, you are lucky. I bought some bottled lemon juice, but it isn’t the same.
Started baking with peaches today.
Made tarts . This one is for our neighbour to take to work.

Yum I made a batch of No Fuss rolls for my brother, an apricot slice from Cookidoo and some almond shortbread biscuits from Cookidoo. I will make up a plate of mixed biscuits for brother to take with the rolls.

Wonderful cooking ladies.  Cookie what did you think of that North African bread mix?

Cookie, lucky brother.
Have been experimenting with new bread recipe. Looks like a winner. Will post when perfect.
 Made small peach tarts. Puff base, used Portuguese tart pastry method as gives a thin base. Peached and custard topping. Heat very well in AF as it really crisps the pastry.
Also made Curry puffs.and a loaf using chestnut flour.
