Yesterday started with a drive to Lindsey's for my first personal training session of the new 'year'. Teachers have two years, the conventional one and the one that starts at the beginning of September for the new school year. For me, the latter is still almost as significant as the former so, sorry, but this was the first session of the new year! 😁
I expected to struggle a bit but it all came back easier than I expected and I'm not even particularly stiff this morning, Those video sessions Lindsey provided over the summer have obviously helped.
I so wanted to try the new Thermione on some of the things I always made so, need or not, I set to and made a loaf which is now sliced and in the freezer. To be fair, I do have a lot of bread products but was running a bit short on sliced bread so . . .
It's a nice loaf. I use wholemeal, dark spelt, dark rye and a bit of white flours and add mixed seeds. Very SW friendly and absolutely delicious and it was fine. So that's good. Then I used the varoma to steam runner beans and foil wrapped salmon for dinner and that was fine too. I don't see why it shouldn't have been fine but - you know . . and I am still a bit clumsy with the new screen layout.
Today, it is back to 6, Thelma as she is now (blame Beth, not me - she has her mini chopper and her TM5 on the working top and calls them Thelma and Louise!) for Alex to make mushroom stroganoff. It's a nice recipe and he should enjoy it.
First of all, though, Slimming World and then next door to Morrisons for what I hopefully call a 'small shop'. Just a normal Friday.
Have a good one too, everyone. And the weekend is nearly here. xx
Enjoy your cooking session with Alex and it’s great that you are teaching him with the Thermomix-anything that helps young people to learn to cook fresh food is a worthwhile investment. Catriona
ReplyDeleteHe's doing so well. I kept out of his way and he told me when he had finished. xx
DeleteI hope your cooking goes well. Lily and I are finally getting round to making pizzas this evening. I've just been making the sauce. Xx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely - have a good time and enjoy the outcomes! :-) xx
DeleteHave you posted your recipe for mushroom stroganoff anywhere? I'd love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI can't directly, Chris, it's a recipe from Cookidoo for the Thermomix but I can adapt it for pan cooking. I'll post it as a separate entity later on today (Saturday). xx
