What are you cooking today?

[Cuilidh]

That sounds like a good plan you've developed there, CP.

This weekend I had to get so much cooking done as I only had ice cubes left in my freezers - huge pot of plain steamed rice, noodle and cheese slice, leek and tomato risotto, Gemuse Eintopf, Cashew and Cauliflower Korma and, finally, Satay steamed veges with tofu and coconut rice.  Freezers are full again so I can relax for a couple of days.

I wish I could get my freezer down to just trays of ice-cubes Marina    It would be nice to start from scratch and menu plan before filling it up again.
Had to google Gemuse Eintopf - was it this recipe from  Quirky Jo's blog?

[Cuilidh]

Yes, it's off Quirky Jo's blog.  I've made it a few times now and puree it to use as a vegetable accompainment with a main meal.  Nice, easy recipe and can be easily varied, but I like QJ's version just as it is.  The Satay veges and tofu is also QJ's "Classic" recipe - except she uses chicken, I just substitute the tofu to make it vegetarian.

these were my cupcakes I made on Saturday. the pic doesn't pick up the gorgeous glitter (it is like fine sparkling fairy dust that really twinkles)

[dede]

Judy I know I Definitly wouldn't do as much cooking. Was easier for me just to buy premade stuff for lunches. Now it's easier to make it myself.

[judydawn]

They look great CP, maddy has sure inspired in this area.

[Halex]

Maddy the cupcakes are stunning.Is this the stand that lives on your DD bookshelf

Thanks, and yes it's that one    She hasn't even noticed it was in her room.......she doesn't manage to see the clutter either 

Creampuff......your cupcakes are lovely!......no one can resist a cake with sparkles, which I do admit to slightly abusing the sparkles on everything

[obbie]

  Maddy, where do you buy the sparkles for cup cakes.

thanks,
Robyn

Robyn, I usually by them at a cake decorating store locally, but I have spotted them in spotlight too (usually more expensive though).
You have to make sure you use the ones marked as "edible" glitter, and not the one that says food glitter (that one is mainly for decoration that won't be eaten).
I'm sure unless you eat pots of the stuff, there will be no real damage, but the lady I deal with said that the food standards have toughened up on it.

The main  place I buy online is:
Baking Pleasures   (check that whole store out.....wonderful stuff!)
