CHRISTMAS CAKE -2

I am thinking that I might have to make smaller ones to post this year? Although one I posted last year never arrived!? So here is the recipe which I will base what I am going to make on! Its a 6″ cake tin. Recipe

EASY CHEESE STRAWS

Quick easy and can be modified! Basic recipe.

Add chopped rosemary, basil, oregano, chilli, pepper, dried red pepper, olives, onions, dried tomato. I might have a go at a variety tomorrow!

CAKES

I am looking at the moment – thinking about a basic cake mixture with ground nuts and something fragrant. I guess a lemon icing will always cover up mistakes? And also thinking about the moisture of fruit in a cake. And then it might be time to start a xmas cake soon.

Orange blossom

Lemon almond

COVID RAMBLINGS

I went back mentally to basics. Covid is a virus transmitted from person to person. If a person with Covid does not meet anyone else the virus cannot find another host. So that is simple. BUT people are gregarious, and need to be. Especially the young. Test and trace is a huge shambles.

SATURDAY

Chilly but dry day. Pasta dough in fridge, bread dough rising. Last of tomatoes picked (only a few small ones, but tasty). So Spag Bol for tea. And maybe tomorrow ‘Apple Charlotte”??
