Todays delights.....

Another busy day in the kitchen! SH excelled and for the first time made crumpets. They were SO good! and so much better than the store bought ones!!


Even better with the strawberry jam I made yesterday!


We are hoping the ones we have frozen are okay and if so plan to make a big batch regularly from now on.

I made 2 chocolate brownies. One for the 'horsey' one and her friend to take on the train to Melbourne where they are attending a Geography revision lecture tomorrow - no school holidays for them!!! She is fussy and doesn't like choc bits or nuts in hers .

I also made another to take to Halls Gap this afternoon when we met up with friends from Melbourne and Lakes Entrance for a coffee. That one had SO much chocolate in it, delicious! For the first time I made jelly cakes , just small ones and although they taste delicious think I need to perfect the technique and presentation!

Lastly I made some strawberry ice cream this afternoon. I put it in smaller containers, just enough for a serve or two! I am making the most of the strawberrys I bought this week!

Delicious - my grandad used to make crumpets when I was young, nothing quite compares.
Enjoy your strawberry ice cream.

Have you tried the Costco brownie mix? Prety good and you get six batches. Home made rumpets now that;s living

Ooh yum! I bought some strawberries a few weeks ago intending to make jam and ice-cream as well but we ate them before I got to cook with them, yours look so delish, the brownies look tasty too....

Ooh, now you have me craving fresh strawberry icecream! That is my favourite.

The crumpets look good - I have seen a recipe on Rhonda's Down to Earth blog so might give them a whirl sometime too.

I gardened this afternoon and am feeling rather worse for wear now...
