A nice quiet Sunday...

We've had a few busy weekends recently so it is nice just to hunker down and stay home. Apart from a 7am trip into town for milk and bread, I didn't leave the house all day.

I got two snail mail letters written (must try and improve my handwriting!) and ready for posting...

My Kobo stats prove I am a shit reader. I try and read a bit every night but Zzzzzzzz....I get sleepy straight away!

One thing I don't like about these eBookreaders is you can't skip to the last page and its hard to know when the end of the book is coming up. I need to acquaint myself with it better as at the end of Still Alice, I had no idea it was the end!! And are these full books or cut down versions?

I made Zucchini bread which turned out nicely. Here's the link...

Gus knocked up this salmon (unfortunately hidden) with grilled asparagus, zucchini, oven baked potatoes and chermoula. The salmon was cooked to buttery perfection!

I haven't made pikelets since high school, I reckon. I found a recipe in the Blue Ribbon Cookbook so I gave them a whirl this morning.

Pikelets

1 cup SR flour

1/4 cup castor sugar

3/4 cup milk

1 egg

35gms butter, melted

* sift flour into medium bowl, stir in sugar

* in a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk and butter together

* whisk the milk mixture into the flour until smooth

* place a frying pan over low heat and grease with a little butter

* spoon tablespoonfuls of the micture into the pan and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn the pikelets over and cook for 1 minute, or until golden.

Pikelets are nice served warm or cold...

I had mine with plum jam but maple syrup, golden syrup or lemon and sugar are all good too! There's plenty leftover for afternoon tea!

Now, I must get into my walk in robe - I'm going to time myself!

Cheers - Joolz xx
