The Rest of September

I’ve mentioned already that September was a rather busy month.  Let’s see what we got up to.

In my wishes I had mentioned that I would like to try another new recipe.  I really do seem to be on a roll here.  I tried four.

Firstly, in honour of Dolly Parton, I made the Cuppa, Cuppa, Cuppa Cake.  It is mentioned in the movie Steel Magnolias.  It consists of:

1 cup SR flour

1 cup sugar

1 cup fruit salad (fruit cocktail) in syrup.

Mix and cook for 45 minutes or there about.  

Serve with ice cream.

Well, that was easy and tasty.  I made it in a 9 inch square pan and cut it into nine pieces.  A success.

Next, I made a jelly slice.  This has been on my wish list for some time and seems to be showing up on instagram a bit, so time to give it a whirl.  Another success.  So much so, that I made it twice more for the Radiation Bus Morning Tea and it was well received.

Now to try something savoury.  I had some chicken and just went with the first recipe that I had saved. It had spinach, ricotta, pasta sauce and a few other bits and bobs.  Super simple and super tasty.  The left over pasta sauce and ricotta were used as a pasta sauce with some frozen seafood.  A double success.

Finally, another instagram recipe.  This time an Impossible Coconut Custard Pie.  It worked and was delicious.

I didn’t read a book during September.

The little shelf in the kitchen did get its spring refresh…..eventually.

We had our fun day out at Rydal and I went to the Radiation Morning Teas.  Although I was helping, it was still fun.

Finally, we did go away again with caravan, although not planning to.  We made a snap decision to visit the Macquarie Marshes.  More on that soon.

And that about sums things up.
