I know I haven't posted in a wee while, and whilst I have been cooking (and eating), I have not been taking photos - I keep forgetting to until the meal is pretty much over. I know what your thinking, and I agree - that behaviour is quite tardish. But I do apologise. And I have my interview for cooking school coming up this week, so the night before will give me ample opportunity to take pics and show you what my interview pieces are. I'm thinking of making the mixed-berry bundt cake I posted the other day as it was rather a success and maybe meringue too. Anywhoo, last night we did have a little dinner party and it was lovely. Friends Warren and Andrew came over for a curry night. Mmmmm. Leon made his mum's beef curry and I made a chickpea and spinach dish and also a biryani with broccoli and peas. I substituted the cauliflower and beans for the broccoli and peas and I left out the mushrooms and flaked almonds. I also didn't have cinnamon sticks so I just added a tsp of ground cinnamon. The curries were all goood. Sorry about the lack of pics though. Also been avidly researching the tattoos that I'm getting and I guess thinking about having cupcakes tattooed onto me has stopped me from actually baking them! Weird how that happens, but I digress. I did bake yesterday - a batch of orange and poppy seed cakes, 3 different sizes - mini, medium and jumbo! the recipe is here and it is so easy, throw it together in about 10 minutes and I halved the recipe and it still made 12 cakes. The only thing you need to watch is if you do like me and make cupcakes instead of one big cake, the cooking time will change, so you need to keep an eye on them and check them every 15 mins or so.
That's all for now, I will be posting more tomorrow with lots of pictures!
Have a lovely day :)
