Blonde Logic · 25th August, 2009

You would not believe the size bag of sesame seeds I got - barely more money then a tiny bag at sainsburys!! Same with spices....and 3+ times the soy sauce for pennys more then a small bottle at Sains...brill!!!

sukie sue · 25th August, 2009

oh will defo have to go and have a shop :0)
my book for sourdough came today , sooo exited , its rediculous lol going to enjoy curling up and having a good read :0)

Jezebella · 25th August, 2009

I am dying to know about your breadmaking hun! There is nothing as lovely as the smell of fresh bread, baking in the oven

Have invited a friend who's mom is visiting over for tea on Sunday, so am going to make scones with clotted cream and home made strawberry jam, a victoria sponge with the home made blackberry jam, and some lovely little tea sandwiches!! woohoo am dying to bake a cake... can't wait to see their faces when they eat it.

slendablenda · 25th August, 2009

They'll be there in your spic and span home, eating the lovely tea. Sounds fabulous Jez. You''ll have to take some pics of the cakes like BL did.

Jezebella · 25th August, 2009

I will def take some pictures of the tea

It will be lovely to see Pat again, she lives in Canada so we only see her once every 2 years or so. Your whiskey marmalade sounds divine, my sister has decided we will make some over the weekend. I quite like the idea of the lemon/lime with limoncello too!!! Guess what all my mates will be getting for xmas!! We have also found some fab recipes for body scrubs and things which we will try and "brew" up so to speak, also for bath fizzies like the ones from Lush - which I adore but are quite expensive. Will let you know how it all goes, I feel like a witch over the cauldron currently, kinda need a broomstick and a pointy hat!!

Blonde Logic · 26th August, 2009

Sounds great Jez - can't wait to see the pics - I know they will be gorgeous!

Making spa products is fun - my friendd back home and I used to make soap. It was sucha womderful yummy smellig way to spend the day. Slmost as fun as cooking! And - almost as tempting to bite into everything smelled so lush!!!!

Have a great time with it all.

Jezebella · 26th August, 2009

The black cherry conserve is bubbling away on the stove, later I will do the xmas spiced apple and blueberry relish!! Woohoo I love this, ladies we should start a shop selling our lovely bits!

Jez

thin_inside · 26th August, 2009

Jez - I LOVE black cherry conserve! Please, please let me have the recipe!

And the xmas spiced apple and blueberry relish sounds gorgeous. I was out collecting blaeberries last weekend and there's loads more about.

Jezebella · 26th August, 2009

Well the spiced apple and blueberry Xmas chutney is on the stove, and the cherry conserve is set and gorgeous!!! I have realised that I am obviously preparing myself for the fact that I will have to shop and cook in the house again sometime. Previously when I was doing my Eurostar work at home and the fridge was full while I was in abstinence, I really felt dirty and contaminated by having all the food around, but am now geting used to the smells of things cooking on my stove again.

sukie sue · 26th August, 2009

oooo all sounds gorgeous !!!!! read my bread book last night and dying to get going with my starter , but heading off to sol fest this weekend and dont want to neglect it so will start it sun /mon when we get back .... hubbas gonna be sooo impressed :0) .... or wondering what the hell im brewing ontop of the fridge :0) xxx

Jezebella · 26th August, 2009

hubble bubble toil and trouble so they say!!! I am going to make a new starter in the next week or 2, so that when I am finally eating, I can make my own bread. This has really encouraged me to cook better for me, which was something I totally neglected before, I far preferred cooking for and feeding others, I think it lessened the guilt of food for me.

Jez

Blonde Logic · 29th August, 2009

Well, I have been to the Pick Your Own, and have a huge basket of Raspberrys ready for jam! And 2 bags of oranges ready for marmalade. Don;t reallly have all the equipment I could use yet, but I think I have enough to wing it. So tomorrow I am going to give it a go. Easier when hubby is at work!! lol

Sure was worth going to the farm though - 4.50 got me piles of raspberry!! Chuffed with that!

Jez- will get you that Jalapeno Chili Jelly recipe! It's a nice glaze for chicken, etc., or with other things as well.

Should we ask the Mods to move this to the maintainer forum? I am concerned that we are talking about food so much here - don;t want to upset anyone. What do you think? There are plenty of warnings - just wonder what others might think?

Blonde Logic · 29th August, 2009

I DID IT!! I DID IT!!!! I made JAM! WHooop whooop!!!!

Couldn't wait til tomorrow - so made a jar of Raspberry Jam, and oh my days - its LUSH!!!! But I will use it sparingly myself - its just so nice to know I did it!!! ANd it was like a witched caldron bubbling away - gorgeous!!! From the vine to the jar in a matter of hours - can't get much fresher then that!

Marmalade tomorrow!

Also made the other half some Peanut Butter muffins - they look and smell gorgeous and he seems quite happy with them.

Man I miss my big kichen back home though!!!

Jezebella · 29th August, 2009

Sounds divine BL, nothing smells nicer or feels more satisfying. I cannot wait to try my raspberry jam, that I made a few weeks ago after visiting mom and nicking some from the garden!! I think it might be a good idea to move this thread, as it is a little unfair on those who are in abstinence. Lol which includes me, but hey I can deal with it <G> its my inner chef coming out and I guess I will be in RTM soon enough.
