I’ve made more than 10 dozen bun now. All good except for last lot. Disaster. I forgot to add the fruit and tried to add after first rise. Rough looking buns. Not nice. I’ll use them in Bread and butter pudding.

No Sustagen Judy. That’s terrific.
Corn cob for dinner tonight.

Judy, lovely to see you again. Glad all went well with your holiday.
3 friends coming tomorrow to make Hot X Buns. Starting at 10.00am. Will prepare lunch today. The cabinet maker that I have used for several projects, is building a display kitchen. He has asked me to test his oven as he is selling it as a unit. He is a perfectionist and doesn’t want to sell anything that’s not perfect.
 Marina, my DS gave me a power bank for my birthday. Going to be very handy. I was surprised by how long it took to charge.

Welcome back,Judy, sounds like you had wonderfully restful and idyllic time while you were away.

I did a load of clothes shopping for our upcoming holiday - well, it seemed like a lot as I was in David Jones for 1 1/2 hours and was assisted by a lovely man selecting various items for me and trying them on (me trying them on, not him!) - in the end I came away with nothing but I then wandered into Myers and did manage to buy one pair of trousers so not a total loss.  Then on to JB HiFi to get a power bank for all the necessary electronic devices we now have to travel with.  Then back to Myers as I had forgotten underwear!  Back home for a break then on to Ikea to finalise our new wardrobe and had a very frustrating time arranging when we would pick it up as they do not hold items.  I thought it would be a straightforward arrangement but it became complicated.  I understand why the cannot hold anything for  you - can you imagine if someone came in ordering beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, etc. ... it would be a nightmare for Ikea to pick and store everything for any length of time.  Anyway, we eventually got that sorted out and I headed back home again totally shattered!

Still cooking up a storm ladies, love seeing what you all come up with. The food in the Celebrity Solstice was pretty good - buffet meals suit us both and breakfast was the best for me, lunchtime I could always find something but dinner was the hardest. Their 2 soups of the day for lunch and dinner were often too spicy for me, I’d never heard of some of the choices they had. Weight stayed the same which is good  as I had no Sustagen for the whole 15 nights.

Hi everyone, back from my latest holiday and finally found time to read all these posts. There’s always so much to do after a holiday, the garden was kept alive by a friend but there was still plenty to do out there. We were keeping up with Adelaide temperatures on Sky News in our cabin so knew there had been no rain where I live and temps had often been in the low 30’s.

It was interesting to see what you’d all been doing and cookie, I was thinking exactly what you said about being old crocks 😁. We came home with no ailments at all, a wonderful trip with perfect weather and lots of lazing around the pool or enjoying our private balcony.

My payment for 7 went through the following day.
My consultant said she would help me understand all the programs. She is very good with the technology.

Remainder of Cauli cheese salmon. Reheats beautifully.

Helen Goh uses Tangzhong ( milk and flour cooked paste) in her Hot X Buns. It is a game changer. I tried the method and added it to my recipe. They were the best buns I’ve made.
I’m making chicken stock . Also pumpkin soup.

I plan to make some sort of muesli bar/biscuit to have in the freezer for snacks as we have run out. I will do it this afternoon as it's going to be 33 here today. I thought summer had gone.
