Merrange and lemon[ish] loaf.

Yesterday. the teenager and superscout returned.  So far, so good. No arguments to  report!

Once they were settled back in, and I had got their laundry going, I made:

• Some merranges, with left-over egg whites. [I shall freeze them and get them out for a treat, when I see some super reduced cream.

• A lemon[ish] drizzle loaf.  As I did not a fresh lemon, I used lemon juice and added some of my super economical mixed fruit, with peel.

 

I also made a homemade cauliflower cheese, which I have not photographed yet.  I used an Aldi packet mix  [36p] approx and a cauliflower which had been reduced to 45p in the Co-Op.

Today is going to be quite expensive, because both the teenager and superscout need new school shoes. However, we are going to explore the possibility of getting them re-soled.  We shall see.

NSD and baking plans

No spend day.  Aiming for as many of these as I can muster in the week.

Superscout [aka teenage daughter] and I are currently really enjoying the Country Show Cook Off on BBC2.  Tonight quiches were featured.  Superscout was inspired, so we can expect some v soon.

I personally learned how to blind bake and saw an interesting technique on rolling out the dough between clingfilm.  I must say, since watching the GBBO, I have become far interested in technique than I ever have been.

Later on, I am looking forward to watching the new Paul Hollywood show about baking.
