And so I have found something I love to make: desserts! Week 51: Sticky date pudding for the Christmas eve dinner (recipe downloaded from www.taste.com.au - with rave reviews no less!)
The ingredients, er, obviously the novice in me realised mid-way that I was supposed to fold the flour in AFTER mixing the butter and sugar, almost turned the kitchen into a snowfield.
Loading the mix into the oven (hrumphz, still had doubts whether this was edible)
While waiting, I had this!
medium-done steak and baked salmon
chilled prawns from randwick
salad tossed in lemon juice, pepper, olive oil, sugar, okay it doesn't look very colourful because the zucchini and the cherry tomatoes are hiding beneath the greens
50 mins later, and 50 x of piercing through with a skewer to check if it's done...
fresh from the oven, literally...
And like a new born I had to turn it upside down and give it a smack in the butt
Alas, the top crust stuck to the plate when i turned it upright and the pudding was exposed in full glory, but well, it was after all about pudding, pokolbin semillon and ice-cream
Slices for the christmas lunch tomorrow
Packed to go, and I am happy.
Next week will be a break when I head down to Melbourne for more indoor culinary adventures. I still cannot believe how domesticated I am now.
