Bleach will take care of it, guaranteed.

Creamy chicken casserole with mushrooms, potato, carrots and leek. It's in the oven cooking and smells delish!

Can't wait for dinner.

What was your cream sauce? (sounds wonderful!)

Choc, that cake is a beauty.

Thanks! Turns out it tastes pretty good, too. It's already half gone and there's only two of us at home. :blush:

Strawberry WTF. I used angel food cake. No lady fingers around here.
Using the below recipe. no way will all fit in pan, but it's nice to eat later, lo-cal ya know.
3 pkgs. plain ladyfingers
1 lg. can frozen strawberries
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 pt. whipping cream
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Drain juice from berries. Cook juice and cornstarch in saucepan, stirring regularly, until clear. Let cool and stir in berries. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until stiff (like whipped cream). Beat whipping cream until peaks form. Fold whipping cream into cream cheese mixture.
Line the sides of a 10-inch springform pan with ladyfingers, standing on end, rounded side facing out. Line the bottom of pan with a single layer of ladyfingers.

Put 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture over the ladyfingers. Put in another layer of ladyfingers. Put in the remainder of the cream cheese mixture. Put the berry mixture on top. Leave in refrigerator overnight.

buster, that reminds me of an old recipe from back home called "pink stuff". Heh.

Today I made a peach pie. It ain't round, but I think it will still taste alright.

Aliantha 05-31-2009 06:06 PM

Alluvial, what are those things to the left of the peach pie?

The cream sauce was exactly what it says. Just about a half a cup of cream and some chicken stock added to the leeks, mushrooms and garlic after they'd been sweated down a bit. Pour the whole lot over the chicken, potato and carrots and then pop the lid on and cook for about 3 hours in a medium oven.

It was yummo.

Those are 'new' potatoes. The small red kind? It's a tradition here to just peel around the middle - I must admit I don't know why. I blistered them a bit in the frying pan, then put a finger depth or so of water, put the lid on and let them cook thru.

Hmm... leeks are looking good at the grocery this week. I'm always looking for new ways to fix chicken, I may try yours!

I just made lemon cordial for the kids. They'll probably think it needs more sugar, but I think it's fine. I'll use it for my vodka if they wont drink it. :)

Yesterday I made cherry cake and shortbread biscuits (cookies).

OH Ali, that looks wonderfully delicious! Is that the lemon cordial? Cake? and sugar cookies. My favorite. I would love the recipe to the cake if you wouldn't mind.
