This morning I went food shopping.
I thought I would have a go at making what we call "Champion a la grec". When I googled it is actually champignon a la grec. Mom doesn't have a "recipe" as such. When I've asked her before she says "garlic, mushrooms and onions thrown in a pan and cooked until soft, add chilli powder and tomato puree". I've never made it before, we usually pinch moms when she's made it(!) but today I thought I would try.

Mark was back in time for lunch so we had it for lunch on toast with what was left as a side with our tea tonight. It was HOT! Not as nice as moms, there was something missing. I will make it again another day though it was lovely.
On Fridays we usually make a cake to last the weekend though the reality is its usually been eaten by Saturday lunchtime! Today Anais asked for a strawberry and cream cake as we haven't made one for a while. I told her it was her responsibility and she had to find a recipe and do it herself. She found this recipe and weighed out all of the ingredients and made the cake herself. She said she wanted to do a "cool cake" and asked to put blue food colouring in, in case anyone thinks it looks a bit odd!
A while ago I brought this gold cake decorating spray. It is normally RRP £4 but in B&M it was only £1. Anais has been asking to use it ever since I bought it and wanted to spray the top of the cake gold - just because!
Want to see Anais' blue and gold cake with strawberries and cream........?
It was actually VERY yummy :-)
Roman came out of school and asked to make fresh bread as they have been doing bread tasting in school. In January I bought bread flour and yeast and so far we have only made one loaf on 8th March. When we were at the caravan at Easter we brought a bread mix for convenience from Aldi but never got round to using it. I thought we could use that up today and Roman could make his bread. He asked to do bread rolls for our lunch tomorrow.
This afternoon was lovely and sunny so I sat in the conservatory and made five birthday cards. I am now done for all the birthdays up to September.
A happy apple - it still has a leaf attached!
Roman likes seeing apple's with leaves still attached. It reminds me of when he was smaller and our coversations would go something like this -
ME - where do apple's come from?
ROMAN - Sainsburys!
ME - apple's grow on tree's
ROMAN - no they don't, don't be silly!
