As you all know, I love to cook but I get bored with everyday meals. So I'm branching out and trying to hone my baking skills. The cheesecake I baked yesterday took me by surprise when it rose 3 inches above the tin then sank when it cooled. It didn't look like the picture in the recipe but tasted fantastic
My pork pies are getting better although I'm told I need to look at the meat/pastry ratio (as in more meat would be nice)
Sausage rolls are around $6 each in the local supermarket so I've had a go at making them too and they were quite tasty.
I normally make a large pan of soup for lunch which will last us a few days. As there was no room in the fridge, I put it out on the balcony. Big mistake. When I brought it in the next day for lunch, I had a pea and ham Frisbee. Well, it had gone down to -12C overnight so should have thought a bit more about that one.
I've also been volunteering more, mainly for the Whistler Arts Council. Their main fundraising event, Bizarre Bazaar (aka Whistler Christmas Market) was a few weeks ago. As a 'thank you' all volunteers got tickets to the Whistler Film Festival which was last weekend. I didn't get to meet either Kiefer Sutherland or Robert Carlyle but did see a few films I wouldn't have normally considered.
I volunteered there too an now know how to make popcorn on an industrial scale :-)
