What are you been cooking today

That reminds me to look out for some golden raisins for Ice Cream Plum pudding . I’m sure I’m too late but maybe the nut company have them , another job to do . It’s the only thing that our family really like for Xmas lunch ( they like a lot but this is one they love ) . Probably because my DM made it every year . Also she made Brandy butter ( even DS who will not touch butter loves when they’re proper Xmas pudding ) .

The count for the small Xmas puds is up to 30. My recipe makes 25. Looks like I’ll have to make  another 1/2 recipe. I’m soaking the fruit for 5 days.

Good luck ith your search for golden raisins again K Atie.  I remember you trying a year or so ago.  If I happen to see any, I will grab some for you.

Going out to Nolan’s for lunch today. My favourite Ballarat restaurant. Not posh but a bit different.
Just soup for dinner.

I went up to pick up some more bread flour last week.  They now carry fresh yeast. I really enjoy baking with it so have been making bread. I’ve made my usual breads and a couple of extra ones.
Tapatalk is down so I will have to post the photos later.
