These days I've been looking for suitable recipes to make at Xmas and during the holidays, when I finally get to see my darling love again
 . I think we'll celebrate Xmas Eve as we do in Italy, with a seafood-based dinner, and then have the traditional ham for Xmas lunch, perhaps with some pasta dish as well.I am not doing a lot of cooking these days, since I am on my own, and I don't need anything too fancy. However, I've made a couple of nice veggie dishes in the past couple of days - this morning it was fresh broccoli braised with oil, garlic, anchovy paste, white wine and red pepper flakes. Delicious! |

 Three Barratt Sherbert Fountains emptied into a blender with a scoop of Ice Cream and half a glass of milk, throw in two of the liquorice sticks (eat the other while waiting) - blitz till smooth, drink while still cold.

^Interesting suggestion, Rafaella. I'll give it a try some time.
Tonight it's steak on rolls over here. Plain and easy - take a 'hard' roll, cut lengthwise. Cover both sides with mustard to taste, put on a few leaves of salad (rocket would be my personal choice, but I have none today) and thin slices of steak which was cooked to order on the bottom piece, and put the top piece back on.

Give them to me, and I'll make all the desserts you want
... BTW, do you know that you can make a wonderful risotto with apples? I really recommend you try it, especially if the apples are quite tart. Last time I made it I used Granny Smiths, and the result was fantastic!

I'm officially ringing in autumn with my first pot of my award winning Ladle Lickin' chili. I actually made it last night because it tastes so much better the next day. I'll just add in the kidney beans and let it stew for an hour. Having my mom and sister-in-law up for dinner tonight.

Your spelling of Carbonara is perfect.
 .. However, the dish is probably not of Italian origin, but rather was invented by US or British soldiers during WWII, when a group of them didn't have anything else at their disposal to cook a meal but eggs, bacon and cheese.

Yummm. Rice Pud - planning on cooking one for tonight's dinner, though there are dozens of different ways of cooking it I just use 4oz short-grain rice, 2oz sugar, 1pt milk and a knob of butter, a pinch of nutmeg and into the oven (~150°C) for a couple of hours or until thick and creamy. I like to add desiccated coconut too, but Debs hates coconut, so I'll leave that out. |

SLUUUUURPPPPPP!!!!
At present I'm avoiding baking cakes or pies, though I'm planning to make some rice pudding for me to eat for breakfast - however, I'll wait until I come back from the Rush gig to do so! I love baking with fruit, in every season of the year - this summer I made some wonderful crumbles with peaches, nectarines and raspberries, which someone liked quite a lot... However, I am not too keen on using nuts, which in my opinion interfere with the taste of the fresh fruit. Cinnamon is a must with apples and other fruit, and I also love using grated orange and lemon zest. |

^ Send me a few, Eric...
My wife made an apple pie this weekend for our son's birthday, with a filling of slightly sour apples, raisins, fresh walnut and cinnamon, and she topped the pie with a bit of lemon marmelade we brought from France this summer. Needless to say, the pie lasted only a few minutes when the family arrived... |

We're visiting family in Wisconsin this weekend and just got back from an apple orchard in Illinois that had the best homemade apple cider doughnuts. I don't have a big sweet tooth, but I love a good doughnut...and these were probably the greatest doughnuts I've ever had.

Onion jam is the best sticky stuff ever invented! In our house it gets eaten quicker than I can make it!
I have a home made recipe for onion bbq relish that just gets devoured also, it's pretty good stuff! Today the boys are all out, so my daughter and I are having a 'bake-athon' we just tokk 2 doz mini carrot cakes out of the oven, 2 doz cherry cakes are now in the oven and she's just wizzed to the village store to buy some walnuts for a date and walnut loaf..... we also plan to make some lammingtons, a couple of cherry pies, some chicken and bacon pies and some cauliflower and sweet potato bakes. Total bakeathon, but the boys will be hungry when they get home, and tomorrow we plan a picnic at the beach with lots of yummy goodies!  PC x

That does sound good indeed... Onion and orange go very well together, especially the sweeter red onions, my favourites. Mozzarella goes quite well with acidic vegetables too, as shown by its classic pairing with tomatoes.
Which brings something else to my mind... Onion jam with cheese is delicious. It is a speciality of Southern Italy, and highly recommended if you can find it somewhere. |

Not sure if this was mentioned (I'm too lazy to go through all the other posts) but: Onion and orange sandwich with a slice of mozzarella. (Made just like it sounds)
It may sound strange but it's amazing.

thanks - I knew somewhat would come up with the name, I always get the names of the 'folding forms of the tortilla' mixed up, so I decided to not use one at all...  |

Suffolk Rusks.
I remember these from my childhood (no, not Farley's Rusks
 ), my maternal Grandmother use to bake them and then complain that they'd all disapear within minutes of coming out of the oven. My mum never baked them, so I had to get the recipe from my Aunt, all three ladies have since passed away so this is my attempt at preserving the recipe. They are unusual since they look like standard English scones but are baked twice (like biscotti), they are very short (as in shortbread & shortcrust pastry) and great with savory or sweet toppings/fillings.
Heat oven to 450°F / 230°C / Gas Mark 8
Self-raising Flour - 8oz / 1 cup / 225gm (or Plain Flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder)
Butter - 3oz / 85gm
Egg - 1 medium - beaten.
Milk - a little.
Salt - 1 pinch
(Although I favour the all-in-one method for cakes, these have to be done the hard way, by hand) - Sift flour into a bowl and rub in the butter using your finger-tips to breadcrumb consistancy.
Stir in the beaten egg and add milk in small stages until you have a smooth dough.
Roll out onto a floured surface to about 1" (2.5cm) thick. Using a pastry cutter cut into 2½" (6cm) rounds and place on a greased baking tray.
Cook for 10 minutes and remove from oven.
Reduce temperature to 375°F / 190°F / Gas Mark 5 - (mega important step!!)
Split in half (like a burger bun) and place back on baking tray with the cut side up.
Cook for further 10 minutes until crisp and golden.
Eat with Butter & Jam or cheese or whatever takes your fancy. (Like scones, you can add grated cheese to the mix before cooking, but adding dried fruit is not recommended because of the twice-baking)
