Like so many things, soy milk can be made quickly and easily in the thermomix. Yes, a little forethought is required as the soy beans need to be soaked overnight but very little effort is otherwise required.
In terms of cost, I priced 1 litre of organic soy milk at $3.95. At the same store, organic [...]

A teddy bears picnic for Lil Miss
Posted in Ankle Biter Cooking, Baking, Dessert, Drinks, Party Food, thermomix on Jan 20th, 2009
Since October, Lil Miss has had her heart set on a teddy bears ‘nicnic’ for her third birthday. What mother could deny such a humble request? Not this one anyway.
To avoid the whole saga of cleaning the house only to have it destroyed by hyped up preschoolers, we elected to picnic at a wonderful park [...]
So another year passes, more quickly than those that precede it. If you are celebrating the departure of 2008 or welcoming 2009, enjoy and be safe! If you’re not celebrating, also enjoy nd be safe. IT’s a crazy time of year.
I’m ushering out the old with the assistance of the cook book challenge. This week’s [...]

Tonight, the Bread Winner and I joined up with some friends and took our collective Ankle Biters to the Winter Solstice Bonfire at Collingwood Children’s Farm. The Ankle Biters were thrilled to be out at night and loved the fire eating, twirling and general burning of things. All very exciting.
Despite a no doubt dazzling array [...]
I have identified another luxury item in last week’s shopping that could have been avoided and saved me another $4. Rhubarb. But I’m glad I splurged. Because I made Rhubarb Champagne.
I used cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. Instead of sugar, I used 2 cups of dark muscavado and 1.5 cups of light muscavado. It [...]
Time for tea?
Posted in Drinks on Mar 29th, 2008
I’m strictly a tea girl. Coffee makes me crazy. There are a couple of things I’m kind of picky about too. I prefer leaf to teabags. Teabags mean extra packaging. Not cool. Teabags also mean less control over the amount of leaf you use. The other thing is, it’s got to be fairtrade. Got to [...]

We are having Christmas lunch at my brother and his wife’s house this year. We all pitch in and bring food so no one has to work too hard. I was quick to bags dessert because a wonderful recipe sprang to mind courtesy of the lovely Jan. I also volunteered a couple of salads [...]
