With all this cold we’ve been having its been hard for a
little puppy to stay warm and comfortable, but she battles on, she does.
So today I was sitting at home, surfing the web and being
bored. It was then I realised something. Holy god I haven’t posted a post for
the blog in almost two weeks! I then proceeded to grab my camera (who had run
out of batteries previously in the week) and my phone and downloaded all of my
images for my cooking (yes, I had still been cooking, just not posting : p). On
realising I had 49 odd photos to post and 5 new recipes, I decided to take a
short cut and see if I can do it another day.
So here’s what I’ve been cooking (I’ll try to blog on my own
blog and link the recipes up later so i dont overload you all with recipes)
Day 10 : Rissotto con Scampi (or shrimp rice) My verdict. Delicious.
I halved the recipe as always and had left overs for the next day. Could be
great as a side dish, but we had it on its own and it was lovely.
Day 11: Bacon and egg pie (or we know it as quiche) I found
this sweet little recipe online from this advertisement from the 50s or 60s for carnation
milk. Super easy using my pastry recipe from before. Great taste (apart the few
little globs of mustard powder that didn’t mix in as well as I wanted them too),
and I managed to get 6 meals out of it. Could easily be frozen and thawed out
for a quick and easy meal. 
Day 12: Peanut butter and All bran muffins. Funny story on
this one. I think this must have been on an advertisement from the 50s for all
bran. But reading the end of the recipe, what did I find?
“Kellogg's All-Bran America's most famous natural laxative cereal for
diets of insufficient bulk -- try a bowlful today!”
Laxative
cereal…..
Fair
enough. I mean, call a spade a spade, that what it is, but that’s not what you’ll
find in any of today’s advertising. On proceeding to call these ‘laxative
muffins’ to my man, he refused to eat them. I only managed to get him to eat
them again when I tempted him with frosting.

Day 13 was
rock your frock and was a great bit of fun with the girls from darling central.
Everyone looked amazing and it was fun to have a reason to glam up and dress
the man up for a night out.
Day 14:
Barbeque franks. Amazingly yummy. Basically just hotdogs with relish, but sooo
yummy. This fed us two nights in a row with hot dog buns.
Day
16(because 15 was covered by left overs from the hot dogs): Chicken breast en
papilotte (but I’m gonna re-name it love heart chicken, because of the way its
cooked :P)

| How its cooked. Like a love heart |
A great
little dish we had with some roasted sweet potatoes. I loved the sauce sooo
much I made it again with some mushroom and chicken thrown in for lunch and had
it on bread J A good meal to impress those at a dinner party, or
just chill out at home with a drink with.
And that’s been it so far. I have
soo many more recipes to try and only a few more days to do it in. But I shall
get there :P
Also to make up for it I may be
bringing some mini cupcakes into darling central this weekend (I’ll be there
all day Sunday) so feel free to drop by and say hi (and be tempted by the
amazing stock we have :P)
Frock on everybody.
