Jez - cakes are in the oven!

I used my new Jamie Oliver ceramic mixing bowl for the first time. I am certain that will make them taste better then the old, cracked white plastic mixing bowl I have been using for 8 years!!!! LOL

Making "Jam DOnut" Muffins - white sponge with a spoonfull of Strawberry-Champagne Jam baked in the middle. Yum. Wish I could have one!! LOL

I miss all my kitchen equipment - I have loads in storage in California, really quality stuff. My in-laws kitted my husband out with all the stuff he came with, and as they are not cooks, its all pretty naff.

I have been holding out because I did not expect us to be here this long, but I think I sense a new avenue for my money instead of charity shops coming on. Shame I cant do both!!

Lakeland - here I come!!! hahahah

Maybe for Christmas!

Will post piccies later!

Blonde Logic · 23rd August, 2009

Cakes all done! The photos are in my albums....I did not want to post them here, as sometimes it might be too triggersome for some....but if not, feel free to look!

I am chuffed, I think they are really cute!!

I have never worked with Marzipan before, but sense I could easily get into palying with that - moldable food - what fun!!

Hope they are good!!!???

Jezebella · 23rd August, 2009

BL those look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!! Well done you, I would love the recipe, I was fiddling about trying to do that the other day with a choc and toffee cupcake - toffeel centre, but could not get it right, so would like to see what I am doing wrong. Marzipan is one of my favourite things in the entire world especially the one from Lubeck with the very bitter chocolate on the outside. I used to love little marzipan fruits when I was a kid, it was obviously fashionable in the 70's because I remember my Mom and Dad bringing them home for me after a dinner parties. The house is all done and finally springcleaned from top to bottom, so all I have yet to do with the day is my Jam and am going to make a batch of preserved lemons too. Will post some jammy pics either tonight or tomorrow. I will also admit to a sneaky run back to the charity shop - a' la Vera and found the most amazing amazing amazing Coast dress for £8 squids!!! I know it would have retailed at over £100 so bargain bargain.

What did you get up to today apart from the cupcake extravaganza??

SB what have you been up to?

Hiya dont know if anyone has answered your query?
I make loads of jams+chutneys etc and pop the glass jars and metal screw tops in the oven to sterilise...just wash the jars and pop into the oven for 10 mins.Pour in the jam etc immediatley and seal with the lid..

Aw, thank you Jez/

I think they are really sweet, if I do say so myself. SO Girly!!

I just hope they taste alright! lol It was fun, I enjoyed getting in the kitchen, even if I couldnt taste anything - it was still so fun.

Other then that, laundry, house work, all exciting stuff! LOL I did pop to the store though and got some pectin and sugar. I noticed you can get seville oranges in a tin already for making marmelade - seems to me though fresh would always be better?

Had a nice hot soak in the tub and read - that was nice.

And watched the planes from the SHoreham airshow flying over the house - very close to the house! Was exciting!!

Chilled night tonight - X-Factor and packs. lol

Jezebella · 23rd August, 2009

OOh yes X factor, I caught a bit last night, mid clean but am planning on watching properly tonight with my sister. The blackberry jam is bubbling away, smells divine - if you pm me your addy I will happily post you some for when you are having a little jam again.

Hey SUkie - nice to find another kitchen kobbler!

Jez- I hate the new X-Factor format! Live audience, music - its not the same.

But the very last auditionee - Danny - WOW - he's my pick for winner! He is amazing!! What a nice bloke!!! Enjoy!!!

Jezebella · 23rd August, 2009

Yay for food porn!!! So glad you are also bitten by the bug! It is nice to be able to think about food again - I kinda turned that switch off for a while but I think it was important to do so to get through the weeks of abstinence. Although I am still on the packs this is my head getting ready to return to food! The thought of a chicken breast is sooooo exciting.. and leaves, good green leaves omg and balsamic and fresh lemon!!!! Yum yum yum! Feel free to post some recipes here Sue - I think closer to Xmas I will start a "healthy" Xmas food post for us all.

Jez

sukie sue · 23rd August, 2009

lol totally agree with you about the new x factor format ,one of my staff members , megan , her brother was on last nights show , in the glasgow auditions. roy robson !! i was all cheering lol . so weird seeing him on tv !!!
its amazing how much i enjoy cooking now , but i get all excited about healthy food , love taking something , tweaking it and turning it into a gorgeous healthy meal , rather than a fat laden dish . dont miss the old types of foods at all , if i ever do have anything a little naughty im usually so dissapointed !! nothing comes close to the taste of anything in its natural state ! bliss :0)

Jezebella · 23rd August, 2009

Ok I am now Daniel's biggest fan, how hot is he and what a voice!!!!!

Isn;t he though - he is a born natural. I pick him for winner, without seeing anyone else! What a diamond, ay? And yes, those eyes - what a sweet heart.

I liked that he giggled while singing at Dani.

sukie sue · 23rd August, 2009

oh yeah he was AMAZING !!! how incredible was he , kind of reminded me of will young , his expressions , random i know . think it was something in his smile !!

Jezebella · 23rd August, 2009

And the energy, you can tell he is just the most alive kind of person!!! My sister reckons it's because he works with kids so he is more bouncy!
