Cooking talent

Or you can make a sort of tartare sauce by mixing a little bit of finely chopped onion/gerkin/garlic and a little mustard and perhaps a dash of worcestershire sauce if liked into mayonnaise. Also in the supper I tart up mayo by adding finely chopped herbs to it. Dill is especially good but any mixture of parsley, chive, tarragon is yummy!

I've had a week of rubbish cooking. A loaf like a brick which when I threw it out for the birds knocked a branch off a tree,an easy five cup cake in which I only put four ingredients and a complicated stuffed rolled belly of pork which I burnt. So a turned roux is not all bad.

I've given up making cheese sauce that way. I just bung it all in the liquidiser and whizz it up. Don't even have to grate the cheese.

Awww....we all get weeks like that............mind you I sort of lost the knack of pastry for what seemed ages but have now got it back with avengence!

stansgran, that broken branch made me laugh!

A cake made with rolled belly of pork? I know I'm no cook, but!

Darling jingle that sounds like my type of cuisine!
Recipe please?

J0 - that's my kind of cheese sauce. I then stick it in the microwave and it cooks well without going lumpy. Stansgran, I've been known to make that kind of loaf. But I never took it out on a tree.

Galen should have put in a comma af,ter ingredients. And I apologized to the tree. But the birds (or something MUCH larger ) has made off with the loaf.

Obviously something of the species dragondae!
