I just made...
... a pineapple and coconut cake. It's a variation on the coconut cake I've made a number of times before. So far it's looking pretty good as it cools, but the proof will be in the tasting as always.
Here's a pic before icing.

What did you just make?
I love that plate! Cake looks yummy too.
I'm trying to make some ribs, in the oven. So far they aren't too tender. I'm hoping another hour will fix that. :: crosses fingers ::
There is a face in that cake. I can't tell who it is tho. Its not Mary, its some old dude.
Nice. Ribs are coming along well also.
Done ...
Wait that photo's too big.
Shouldn't the ribs have come BEFORE the cake?

Nah, they're all going to the same place anyway. :p
...a white cake with strawberry frosting and strawberry filling. Kitsune made strawberry jam, yesterday, and it didn't set up quite right, so we decided to go ahead and use up the delicious strawberry goo.
I only have one thing to say to that cake choco and that's YUMMO!
My cake tastes nice, but it falls apart a bit when it's cut. The consistancy is right, but I think next time I'll use pineapple juice instead of crushed pineapple. It's the fibres of the pineapple that're making it crumble when it's cut. Maybe I need a sharper knife. lol
Does anyone know how to get drool off a keyboard?
Bleach will take care of it, guaranteed.
Creamy chicken casserole with mushrooms, potato, carrots and leek. It's in the oven cooking and smells delish!
Can't wait for dinner.
What was your cream sauce? (sounds wonderful!)
Choc, that cake is a beauty.
Thanks! Turns out it tastes pretty good, too. It's already half gone and there's only two of us at home. :blush:
Strawberry WTF. I used angel food cake. No lady fingers around here.
Using the below recipe. no way will all fit in pan, but it's nice to eat later, lo-cal ya know.
3 pkgs. plain ladyfingers
1 lg. can frozen strawberries
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 pt. whipping cream
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Drain juice from berries. Cook juice and cornstarch in saucepan, stirring regularly, until clear. Let cool and stir in berries. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until stiff (like whipped cream). Beat whipping cream until peaks form. Fold whipping cream into cream cheese mixture.
Line the sides of a 10-inch springform pan with ladyfingers, standing on end, rounded side facing out. Line the bottom of pan with a single layer of ladyfingers.
Put 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture over the ladyfingers. Put in another layer of ladyfingers. Put in the remainder of the cream cheese mixture. Put the berry mixture on top. Leave in refrigerator overnight.
buster, that reminds me of an old recipe from back home called "pink stuff". Heh.
Today I made a peach pie. It ain't round, but I think it will still taste alright.
Alluvial, what are those things to the left of the peach pie?
The cream sauce was exactly what it says. Just about a half a cup of cream and some chicken stock added to the leeks, mushrooms and garlic after they'd been sweated down a bit. Pour the whole lot over the chicken, potato and carrots and then pop the lid on and cook for about 3 hours in a medium oven.
It was yummo.
Those are 'new' potatoes. The small red kind? It's a tradition here to just peel around the middle - I must admit I don't know why. I blistered them a bit in the frying pan, then put a finger depth or so of water, put the lid on and let them cook thru.
Hmm... leeks are looking good at the grocery this week. I'm always looking for new ways to fix chicken, I may try yours!
I just made lemon cordial for the kids. They'll probably think it needs more sugar, but I think it's fine. I'll use it for my vodka if they wont drink it. :)
Yesterday I made cherry cake and shortbread biscuits (cookies).

It's been 2 weeks since I have had anything sweet so I am making chocolate pudding.mmm
OH Ali, that looks wonderfully delicious! Is that the lemon cordial? Cake? and sugar cookies. My favorite. I would love the recipe to the cake if you wouldn't mind.
Here is the cake from start to almost finished.

Loooks :yum: deeeeeeelicious.
but, how the heck are you going to slice that thing?
You're not supposed to slice it. You've to look at it in awe.
"Whats with the makeup brush on the right in the final photo?" he asked, looking for new food tips and tricks.
Those chocolates that look like shells are SO good, too.
Ali, that's beautiful! And looks delicious, too. That's a wedding cake for friends, right?
It's my friends 40th birthday, so it's my present to her. She was going to do her own cake (as mothers usually do if they want one), so I had to stop that.
You slice it like any other cake Zen. lol and then you gobble it up and say yumm. :)
Classic, the make up brush is there because when I sprinkled the 'sand' over the cake I had to brush it off the shells, firstly because it didn't look good, and secondly, because it wouldn't stick there anyway. (the sand was sugar with a bit of gold colouring mushed into it. I was pretty happy with how that bit turned out. It was the only thing I wasn't too sure of).
Anyway, I get to present it to her tomorrow. I hope she's going to like it.
I hope she's going to like it.
Unless she's severely allergic to chocolate, she's going to love it. Just looking at it is making me drool a little.
She loves chocolate. She asked for mud cake, so all the rest was just a natural progression. :)
How did your friend like the cake ?
I made some brownies today, but they are ugly so I'm not posting them. :p
jnx made tacos for the 212th time this year.
and they still raawq

She loved it, and it was all eaten. Good stuff.
My boys loved it so much we had to make one today for their lunches this week. It's much less fancy though. One layer with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. :)
About the brownies...did they taste good? If so, who cares what they look like. :D
Oh gosh those tacos look delightful. Haven't had tacos in ages!
Tacos with srs greens, interesting! The lettuce is more like filler in most tacos, this is a good way to go.
I eat tacos a lot. Sometimes more than once a day.
I put a flat griddle over two burners and fit 4 corn tortilla shells on it.. wait a few minutes until they start to curl up, then flip. Sprinkle with a little cheese, diced chicken or a few beans, a spoon full of hot salsa, couple drops of habenero sauce and a fat slice of avocado. When melty/crispy enough, remove from heat and fold around a handful of greens.
They're so awesome...
I think the ones pictured have some red pepper in there too...
Jinx those look so good! Crunch crunch crunch!
One layer with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. :)
You have great ideas. I put chopped pecans and sprinkles in the brownie batter. Yes they're scrumptious!
Tonight I was adventurous and made a pasta salad with a peanut sauce. It was pretty good.
Talk about fusion meals! lol
I would never have thought of doing that.
I can't take credit for the idea; I came across the recipe on another board and thought I'd try it. It's a refreshing change from mayo-based salads & standard "italian" salads.
Alluvial, I'm sure you're a lovely lady.
But you sure know how to ruin a salad.
Peanuts?
Sigh.
Might as well go ahead and put banana in it now.
Yesterday, it was brats with a side of sauteed diced radishes, radish greens, spring shallots and new potatoes.
Tonight it's going to be grilled flank steak and asparagus with ... polenta? or a little pasta? in a tarragon-caper butter sauce. Subject to change if Badger doesn't make it back from Dawl-gren at a reasonable time. Or if I just change my mind. :)
Might as well go ahead and put banana in it now.

Turkey and Italian Sausage Meatloaf!
1: Before oven
2: After oven...I ated it before I remember to take another pic, oops.
Speaking of meatloaf, it's not something we 'do' over here, but i decided to make one a couple of weeks ago. It went down a treat with the family. They really loved it. I'm going to do another one soon. Hmmm...Maybe even tonight! Thanks for the inspiration mtp. :)
If you like meatloaf, you should try the meatball recipe which Jill posted in the ultimate recipe thread. :)
This is a platter I've put together for entree tonight.
[ATTACH]23788[/ATTACH]
This is a prawn salad with kiwi fruit, roasted grape tomatoes and watercress, to be served with a lime wasabi dressing.
[ATTACH]23789[/ATTACH]
I've also made a spinach pie and will serve boiled baby potatoes in their jackets with sour cream and chives, and we'll be BBQing the amberjack (15kg/35lb) Dazza caught last weekend.
To finish, we'll be having chocolate mud cake (cause that's what the kids wanted).
Wow - my kinda meal!
I'm also considering a meatloaf dinner for the future too.
Trouble is, the only lw fat meatloaf recipe I have is bleurgh - I know, I tried it.
Have to go a-searching...
I made my most recent meatloaf with ground turkey instead of beef. I think it was a little less fatty. It was just as good, anyway.
We have Meatloaf a couple of times a month, because its super easy and I can slip a heap of grated vegies into it without the little people noticing too much. Actually, its only the redhead that is anti-vegie, but he devours anything fruit like.
Fruit kebabs are a winner here too, coz the boys can *build their own*.
Dad has been complaining that we only eat what Mum and I like recently.
Not true, because Mum & I stopped cooking together about 2 months ago.
And I have been eating separately in this time - see weight loss chart for verification.
But instead of challenging his assumption - he is in his 70th year after all - I offered Mum spag bol this week as a sop. Now, she loves it when I cook - she doesn't have to cook AND I wash up as I go along. The usual deal is one cooks and the other cleans up, so there is far less work when I cook (also because I'm of a one-pot style).
So it's turkey mince (already bought and in the freezer) and an Aldi vegetable sauce. Aldi is a cheap European supermarket, but I'm not gloating over what the sauce cost me, it's the fact it's low fat and loaded with veg (carrot, courgette and peppers) and he thinks he's getting away with something because he's getting meat and shop-bought sauce and pasta (hehehe).
Regardless, he'll enjoy it, and that's really what's important.
SG, you'll have to tell us how he liked it. :)
Here is a Mexican-style casserole. This is the kind of thing that you can make fancy or plain. The basic idea is to layer corn tortillas with other stuff like black beans, cheese, corn, chopped onion, whatever you like. I dip the tortillas in a tomato-based sauce before layering in the pan.
Mexican lasagne!
Looks gorgeous. Make me some when I come visit, okay?
Tonight is Sneaky Spag Bol Night.
I'll take a pic.
... I offered Mum spag bol this week as a sop...
Darling. What on earth does this mean?
Spaghetti bolognese
[or as it is generally termed in my family: Spaghetti bolllocknaked.
what does "as a sop" mean?
I believe a "sop" is a meal eaten only in England, consisting of some deeply domesticated foreign food eaten in the belief it is exotic, and eaten at a time of significant national distress, like losing a cricket game.
ah...like the way we eat "tacos" over here!
thanks, Zen!
A 'sop' is a piece of food, usually bread, soaked in liquid (i.e dipped into a broth): that's mainly a medieval usage, but gives rise to the modern term 'sopping wet'
It is also:
a concession given to mollify or placate; "the offer was a sop to my feelings"
I think that it comes from the idea that the 'sop' soaks up the bad feelings.
It is not a foreign or exotic meal:P
Ah, Dana is so very English!
Or is that "veddy English," ?
thanks for the clearing up. Sometimes you kids baffle me with your hip hop lingo
Fo shizzle! Mexi lasagna sounds like a plan for tonight! Thanks Alluv!
Aldi is a cheap European supermarket
I've been shopping at Aldi since I was a little kid. They always have the best cheap sandwich cookies. When I was in Vienna a couple of years ago I noticed a store with an Aldi-like logo. It was called Hofer. I went inside and it turned out to be an Aldi in all but name.
Thought that was funny. I'd always associated Aldi with low socio-economic areas in the US, and here I'd found one in a sketchy part of Wien.
The nicest Aldi I've ever seen was in Newcastle. Makes sense I guess.
An Aldi opened near me. I went in and became very confused and frightened, and had to retreat to a Trader Joe's to hyperventilate over a spiced chai tea and an organic flax seed and pomegranate muffin.
[SIZE=1](not really, i just thought it would be fun to compose that sentence)[/SIZE]
I don't like the Aldi stores we have here. There's not a huge variety, and some of the product quality is not exactly what I prefer. It's great for catering kids and teenagers parties though. Lots of cheap lollies, softdrinks and chips.
So it's like a gas station convenience store, but on a larger scale?
Hmmm...sort of. Most of the stock is not well known brands. It's mostly imported (but then again, so is most of our processed food), but from different places than we're used to. It's kind of like an alternate food universe really.
It's good for cured meats, the sort of sausages you don't usually see, and they do a really good value mixed salad. Or is that Lidl? They're very close to one another in Aylesbury, and close in type. It's £0.99 for a 500g bag, which is much better than Sainsbury's or Tesco - I always buy it if I'm providing salad as part of any meal I'm preparing.
Oh and fish - very good for fish for their size. Our smaller supermarkets tend to stock only breaded or battered, but both Aldi and Lidl (of a comparable size) do a range of plain fish, which suits me a lot better. More expensive on fizzy water though. But I've checked every supermarket in a 3 mile radius and I don't really think I'll improve on 12p for 2 litres!
To me they're nothing like the shops at petrol stations, but then I can't be sure that ours are anything like yours anyway :)
petrol stations are where you go to get Rizlas and chocolate milk at 4 am....
*misspent youth*
We have Aldi's here but I've never heard of any of the brands of anything they carry. My friend shops there and swears by it. I usually do Kroger or Dorothy Lane Market. We have a Trader Joe's and it's ok...but DLM is better.
Clod, take your supermarket, remove all sections around the edge. No butcher, no bakery, no deli. The one I was in had no fresh produce either.
Remove all brands, leaving only store brands. But not one store brand... every product seems to have its very own mysterious brand, which only applies to its category. At times the branding seems modern, at other times it's weird and coldly generic. You will have heard of none of them.
With only one brand of toilet paper, one brand of orange soda, one brand of bread, etc. this reduces the size of the market to about a third of what it previously was. Now there is no need for aisle marking, as there are only 4 aisles.
This allows the prices to drop dramatically, at least for the things people recognize, and then this in turn attracts a certain type of customer, which the store is full of. Imagine the Walmart clientele but a little less discriminating about their products. They don't shop per se, since there's no decision about which toilet paper to buy, they just fill their carts.
Wow, UT. That's quite the sneer.
Most people I know who shop at Aldi do so because they're on a tight budget, not because they can't evaluate quality.
That was my experience; it may be affected in this location because there's a Walmart in the same shopping center...

Cornbread muffins substituting water and oil for the milk. Not only did I manage not to burn them but they are fluffy and moist. I think I will never use milk again.

Did you hear the one about the new bride searching in the grocery store for a box of "Scratch", the baking mix? :D
I started out from zero. My mom could.not.cook. So I am self-taught, with some help from different folks at different times in my life. Now that I'm pushing 50, I finally feel as if I know what I'm doing.
But I think Aliantha is ahead of both of us !!
haha good joke Alluvail. I would be fun to ask a grocery clerk for a scratch mix sometime but I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face.
yes and ali is marvelous cook. I've been ignoring the cupcakes on purpose. mmm That frosting is to die for.

Those flour shells look crispy. Are they fried? I thought not but they look scrumptious.
I love mexican food. I ate tacos all the time when I was pregnant for some reason. I just craved them. Not the typical pregnant food. *shrug*

No I am not pregnant lj. This was years ago but the memory of my penchant for tacos does not diminish. mmm tacos
I just bought sirloin steaks to cook up with sauted mushrooms,onions and a baked potato on the side.

Have you ever noticed that NSW upside down spells MSN? I didn't until Mav saw the cupcakes and asked me why I wrote MSN on some of the cupcakes. It took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about until I noticed he was reading them from the wrong side of the bench.

That frosting is so easy to make. Just cream some butter (about half a stick) then add in a couple of cups of icing sugar and a tiny bit of hot water (or milk) and away you go. Much better than in the shops. :)

Ah, that's the secret ingredient at work.
You have no idea how hard it was for Ali to gather all those cane toads, and squeeze out the toxin from their glands, and measure out just the right amount ...
If affected, do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or attend an important meeting.
not to mention the cockroaches!

Today I made some chicken tenders for my son. He likes curry so I marinated them in some curry paste before cooking.
Yummy. That looks delish All.
He ate half of that skilletfull. Must have been alright! :)
Someone asked me for the recipe for those cupcakes, so here it is.
3 cups of SR flour
2 cups of Sugar (I prefer castor sugar)
1 cup of milk
1 stick of butter chopped up and softened
4 eggs
put all ingredients into a large mixing bowl (preferably electric mixer) and beat slowly till ingredients are incorporated, then on high for 10 minutes and it's done.
Put it in cupcake pans and bake in a hot oven for about 15 mins, or you can make a large cake (or two). Baking time will be around 30 mins on medium/hot oven depending on what size pan you use.
It's really important to have the ingredients all at room temp for this one. If they're a bit cold they don't tend to rise as well.
I did steak fajitas on the grill last night. They turned out pretty good with a nice tangy/smokey flavor.
Okay - this is in advance.
Like - I can't believe I expect to eat... or, I just didn't make...
Shop bought a selection of food to welcome Mum & Dad home.
I bought far too much, which is a family tradition, but I was buying special deals (3 for 2 etc) and it can all be eaten up until the weekend.
The wheel that turns the whole meal is an M&S fish platter which I saw a couple of months ago. We all love fish, so this should be a nice surprise. I will suggest we take some round to Grandad as well, who asked me for a salmon and cucumber sandwich yesterday and today (sadly, today I was in Tesco and they'd run out).
Pics of said platter below.
I will take pics of other items and post separately.
Forgot to take any further pics of the feast.
But here are the bare essentials - in a VERY blurry photo. Sorry, ir was while I was figuring out what should be heated and subsequent reheating times.
Add to the pic, tortilla chips & dip, baguettes, and the fish wheel as above. And laid out much better, on a set table with cutlery, napkins etc. I was very pleased.
Oh - some of the labels are a bit awry, but even with the blurring you should be able to work out which is which.
Smoked a small flock of chickens for tonight's barbeque. They lived in the smoker for about six hours, then I finished them in 225 deg oven overnight in the roaster you see here, with a foil tent on top and a bottle of porter in the bottom. I'm starvin!
Dang, that's a whole lot of chicken! Must be a large crowd comin'.
Makes my mouth water.
I went back and looked again after Tulip's comment - I had the scale of the photo wrong in my head. Them's whole chickens! I thought that was 4 sections on a UK sized grill pan.
I made my best ribs ever, this weekend. I've been experimenting.
I coated the ribs with prepared mustard, then coated with a variation on Paul Kirk's sweet pork rub. I smoked it at 225F using one chunk of hickory, three of oak and 5 or 6 of cherry (not all at once, of course).
I also made up a new sweet sauce that everyone seemed to like real well.
Sorry no pictures. It got eaten too quickly.

I was all set to pompously post some links about mining in Patagonia, but after starting to read a few of the articles, it is clear that this warrants further investigation and there's alot more to the story (but isn't there always?). Expect further posts after the working week is over. Given the turn I think this is going to take (e.g. environmental, rather than culinary), this is very likely to be the wrong thread.

Silverton freaked me out, but not as much at the pubs in Wilcania.

Haven't been to Broken Hill since I was a kid, so there wasn't much pub visiting happening then.
