Random bits and pieces – bringing you up to speed!

I said I'd let you know what Susie thought about the “Lemon Meringue and Ice twice” - well it made her giggle so that's one tick – she then took a photograph, another tick and finally nothing left in the dish, oh and by the way the photograph is for her Birthday Memory Box.

This morning's weather forecast is awful – decidedly soggy and my run is cancelled. Never let it be said that I waste any time. Normally I leave the house at 7am – it's now 9.15am and there are two tea loaves in the oven – I must have known - I soaked the fruit yesterday. There's a chicken in the slow cooker and the prawns are defrosting for the rendang curry that's for supper tonight.

Do I need to get out more? May be but I'll be glad I had something to show for my messed up morning!

Did a class this week and thought you'd be interested to know that I made a batch of the Piquant Pinwheels and froze them ahead of the game. I demonstrated making them from scratch and whilst doing so I popped the frozen pinwheels in a pre-heated oven 180fan/200c/Gas 6 for 10 minutes. It's my experience that my students enjoy sampling an appetiser with their glass of wine so I like to feed them as soon as possible! Another tip – when you bake the frozen pinwheels place them upside down on the tray – worked a treat and I served them with honey roasted beetroot, cold, on the side. For lovers of hot and cold side by side yes please.

My favourite sentence from the comments book was “Lovely way of learning to cook – watch Marion doing the work – then eat the end results.”

Most people love chocolate based desserts and so - with half a thought towards Easter and chocolate treats - what follows is the first of a few ideas.
