Food prattlings

[allana]

Interesting... I see someone has set up a LJ feed for my food blog: spoonful_sugar This could be handy for those amongst us who are very attatched to their friends pages ;)

Up early as all the traffic noise woke me up. Whine, whine, bloody whine. Still, by dint of having all the windows open upstairs, the house was a much better sleeping temperature! I really don't understand it. Dave is off to Bristol today for some work thingie (I forget what, I'm sure I'll remember later), and I am going to experiment with putting meringue on top of some of the remaining cupcakes. Not an original idea--I've seen lemon meringue cupcakes online, but certainly should be yummy!

Anyone heard of "Easter Biscuits"? Dave asked me if I'd be making some, and I'd never heard of 'em. Still, from the recipes I've seen, it involves currants and candied peel. So, that'll use up two ingredients of which I am Less Than Fond. I'm also going to be making some lemon jellies. Those should help to reduce the lemon mountain in my kitchen--you'd think I had a lemon tree if you went by the sheer numbers of lemons in there. I think I was going to make jam, but then I used all the sugar to make Dave some birthday tablet. Could be mistaken, though. At any rate, they need to be used up pdq, supermarket lemons go mouldy astonishingly quickly!

You made me hungry. I should eat breakfast before reading your LJ, lol.

I have RSS feeds set up on many LJ accounts, including my Friends list, through Bloglines. I love Bloglines. It's so convenient.

Ooops, sorry Kasia!

I've tried Bloglines in the past, but never ever got on with it. I do adore my Friends page though!

I know of Easter Lambs as you can see them here or here. If you want a translation of the recipes just let me know.

(Btw, the recipes do not use currants or candied peel ;))

Wow! Easter Lambs are very cool. Alas, Dave is quite set upon the idea of Easter Biscuits, so I shall make him some. However, I wouldn't mind a translation of the Lindt recipe. Thank-you!

[silentinflames.livejournal.com]

Sure. I just have to get through with the pre-Easter "clean the place/pre-prepare Good Friday lunch/decorate the place somewhat Easterly" madness. I hope to come around and shall PM you the translation tonight.

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Sure! No hurry at all :) I'm having fun guessing the ingredients and techniques.

Am very intriegued by what Easter decorations would be.

Yay! The food blog on my friend's page! *bounce*

Currants and candied peel...not among my list of favorites. *sour face*

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Candied peel can be very nice, if home-made and then dipped into chocolate. That's something I should do more often. Maybe I can sacrifice a lemon or two to that?

*Adds Ang's blog to her Friend's List*. All kinds of stuff on that site I want to make once I get home :D

Cool! I warn you now, you'll need to find plenty of people willing to eat things. I haven't quite mastered the art of baking small amounts, so Dave often has to take boxes of goodies to work.

Failing that, become best friends with your freezer.
