Cinnamon butter-I have done the same-mix it in a food processor-ideal for this job!

I'd almost forgotten that we had one of these, that'll make life a lot easier.

I have at last got all the ingredients to make some bananananana bread, it's only taken me since March of 2016 to get off my backside.!! 

I can't cook... It is one thing I feel shameful of that... but hey... nothing I can't learn!

I can't cook either, but I don't need to, I've got Sammi

Yes, we had one of our favourite dishes tonight:

Braised beef & Italian red wine Mezzalune with ricotta cheese and a pepper sauce.

The pasta was shop bought fresh egg pasta and the sauce was a Schwartz sauce mix, but the whole meal was ready to eat twenty minutes after going into the kitchen.  

And very nice it was too  

You guys should try some Icelandic food, it’s really good IMO

We finally made some today, for a first attempt for both of us, it wasn't bad at all. A little rich perhaps, but we'll get it right next time

It needed to be a bit lighter but still tasted all right, we will have to look at getting a proper mixer, but not one at prices we saw today.!!

Bananananana bread mark IV was made today and it came out perfectly. Cooked just right (unlike the last one) and with added raisinses. We have invested in a little hand mixer and that makes all the difference.  

And very good it is too 

We've promised some to our upstairs neighbour, who's a chef, so he can give his verdict, but he's away until tomorrow, so whether we'll be able to contain ourselves until then remains to be seen

He gave us top marks for it, and when I mentioned it while on the phone to mummy she would like some the next time we go out to see her. 

I created a zesty burger sauce that really jazzes up any kind of cheeseburger.  It's like a spicy version of 1000 Island dressing.

Equal parts ketchup and mayonaise

One tablespoon of lemon juice

One tablespoon of Hungarian paprika

Stir all of these ingredients together in a small dish and spread on your burger.  Adjust the amount of paprika and lemon juice based on how much ketchup and mayo you use, and how spicy you like your sauce.

I mix up what the family calls froth juice as a way to start the day:
Makes enough for 2 servings

Ingredients:
1 raw egg
8 fluid ounces of fresh orange juice
2-3  Tablespoons of Glucose Powder

Method:
Place all ingredients in a blender and whiz up for a few seconds until thoroughly mixed.
Pour into glasses and enjoy.
