Cookie, thanks again for the photos. We must have inherited our love of cooking from our grandmothers. Mine cooked for the Coles family in Melbourne. I later taught at Lowther Hall, the mansion where they lived. My GD has worked there as a gardener. 3 generations at the same place.

Made the tomato and peach salad to take as a gift. Time consuming removing the skin off the almonds.
My 7 is playing up. Inconsistent starting. Think it’s electronic. Will have to go back.

Going to the pictures with Probus. Downton Abbey. We are provided with a lunch box and drink as part of the deal. There is also free coffee available. $24.
I got my TMX 6 back after a complete renovation. Like new.

Marina, I don’t know how to do a link but will put the recipe on the Forum. Also the recipe is on my blog. Achookwoman.blogspot.com
I don’t particularly like Avocado. I mix it with lots of lemon juice and then find it ok.
Yesterday I made mushroom sauce from Cookidoo. I used water and lemon juice instead of wine and zapped it a little to remove the big lumps. I also left out the onion but added extra chives. It is very nice.
I also boiled some eggs in the 7. I used the egg program. They took 15 minutes and were perfect.
I also made another small white bread loaf in my new bread machine. Perfect size to last a week.

Cookie, you could go away for a year and live in your Motor Home. Love the little car on the back. Do you drive it?
School hols here. I’m looking after next door boys today. We were going to the pictures but nothing suitable. We are making Pizzas for lunch and watching something suitable on u Tube.

For Dinner last night I cooked a lot of chicken schnitzel. I added KFC spice to the panko crumbs. The GC took the remainders home. I made gravy in the TMX to the Cookidoo recipe. It was a bit gooey to my licking so I added a slurry of gravy powder.
Tonight, leftover pizza.

Cookie, great that Motor Home is fixed. I envy you your trip.
Judy, the Brazilian Cheese puffs would be worth a try. You can make them crispy or soft. They are crispy straight out of oven and if reheated in the AF. They go soft if left to go cold and sit for a while. Or you could put them in a bag when they come out of the oven. They should be a bit sticky inside when first baked. You can make the batter and keep it in the fridge .

Cookie, I noticed that you mentioned Choc Chip Cookies with walnuts ,to take away. I love walnuts in biscuits, especially Choc Chip ones.
Yesterday, visitors brought candied nuts. They are different to the ones I make. Mine are very lightly covered with a sugary crust, these were heavily coated and had a touch of cinnamon.

Cookie, thanks for that list , I’ll check them out. I also find the book club books not generally to my liking. However it’s probably good to be forced to read books out of our comfort zone.
