er, spaghetti with meat sauce (topped with cheese), asparagus, and oatmeal ginger cookies?

not sure what you did with the bacon, though

Clodfobble · 11-02-2009, 05:45 PM

I'm thinking the mushrooms and bacon went in with the asparagus.

monster · 11-02-2009, 05:46 PM

no meat sauce is complete without bacon

...it's my substitute for pancetta in Bologneise sauce. I also left out the carrot and celery to save the family picking them out. Mushrooms they have to deal with. so there.

quantities might help with the baking

8oz each flour oatmeal sugar treacle
4oz butter
150mil milk (yes mixing and matching those measurements again)
2 eggs
2 heaped teaspoons ginger.

You lost me at 'asparagus'

spice cake then? and I can't believe you put bacon in spaghetti sauce!

ETA: hmm. not enough spices for spice cake. Or is there? (2 t is a lot). I'd be putting cinnamon, etc. in it though.

I'm cheating because it's a British thing. Seasonal

It's Parkin. but i'll have to wait to get the pic off the other camera.

monster · 11-02-2009, 08:06 PM

I was really hoping for some more interesting suggestions, though :p

Like ginger bacon with asparagus pudding on a bed of spaghetti.....

Cloud · 11-02-2009, 08:14 PM

Parkin? Is that . . . a food item?

ETA: google:define comes up with: "Parkin or Perkin is a soft cake traditionally made of oatmeal and molasses , which originated in Northern England. ..."

I have never heard of it. and yes, that's cheating!
