I really miss the polytunnel I had living on Lewis, they are great aren't they (although not in high winds!). I am still very envious of your rayburn - I even ordered a catalogue just so that I could look at them and sigh wistfully!! Wonder if I ask Santa very nicely...
Hi Ellie & Trudy,
I decided to have a go at the mousse at it looked lovely in your photo, Ellie.
But as I didn't have any fromage frais I used 1/2 a pot of quark and about 300ml of nat yogurt.
Result......absolutely yummy but more like blancmange than mousse!

Like the sound of the strawberry mousse & def going to try that. Finally cracked the muffin recipe after getting a silicone mould - how do you do the carrot cake ones?
With the rhubarb, do you freeze it raw or cooked? I planted some in the autumn, and I can just see its tiny tops coming through. Not supposed to cut it in the first year apparently so as to strengthen the crown, but the way things grow in my garden - wild- it'll get out of hand if I don't hack bits off every now and again.

you freeze it raw. for the carrot cake muffins i used the chocolate orange duffins recipe, but adjusted it slightly to make 2 days worth, took out the cocoa & orange and added 1/2 or 1tbsp mixed spice & stirred in a grated carrot before putting it in the moulds. I think i wrote that in the recipe section for dontwanttobefatat50 you can also add 100gm of stewed rhubarb & cinnamon for another option.
the strawberry mousse i gorgeous... made the mistake of letting hubby taste it so i can see my stash in the fridge disapeering LOL

Thx! I'm experimenting with flavours in the muffins at the moment, so that's useful. Will give it a go.
But I can see where my strawberry mousses will go - OH is now (sort of!) doing Dukan, so he'll leap at the pudding options, lol!
