Week 33!

This week we made A Chunky Root vegetable Soup with mini ginger bread houses, compleat with gingerbread men and gingerbread pigs.
First we made the Soup, Which involved alot of chopping up veggys and crying over shalotts!! While the soup was cooking we made the ginger bread for our gingerbread village!! The recipe was for 4 houses and we were going to half it but then decided not to last minute, which ment all the quantitys were massive!!
We had alot of fun cutting out the shapes, put them in the oven and ate our yummy yummy soup!!
The we decorated our 3 houses and put them together! With lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of icing (using stephs new icing gun). Halfway though decorating the houses we suddenly realised that our villagers where still in the oven, about half and hour after the timer had gone off! We realised how smokey the room had got and raced to the oven to rescue them. Unfortunanty many lives where lost today as they where ALL beyond repair and fully cremated by the time we got to them. But the houses still looked wonderful and tasted great too!

Week 32!

This Week we made a Spicy Autumn Stew with dumplings and a ginger cake with orange icing.
We Started with the cake, which was very easy to make but even though it said only to cook it for 50 minutes we ended up cooking it for at least an hour and a half, in the end though it was a very yummy cake.
We then made the stew and dumplings, steph made the dumplings while Zilah prepared the vegetables for the stew, Everything was very easy, except when we came to eat it it was VERY VERY SPICY!!!! It tasted more like a curry than a stew.

week 31

This week we made heart shaped egg in toast with a banana and chcolate bread and butter pudding. We started with the bread and butter pudding which nearly used a whole loaf of bread. It was very simple and very yummy. It used alot of cream, milk and chcolate spread!Which are very yummy ingredients!

Then we made a holandaise sauce which failed like a big whale we tried it twice and both times it split which sucks becuase it meant no sauce with the toast. However the heart shaped eggs in toast were very cute and very scrummy, definatly going to make them again!
