A few years back I made a list of 100 things to do in a year...suffice to say I didn't do them all. So once the 30 Days of Me blogging challenge is up I am going to embark on 30 Things in 60 Days. I am going to do 30 things from my list over 60 days and blog as I go.
Here is my full list and I would like to add some more things to get it to 100.

What a great list so far. I'm sure MrTee would love to help you with your softball one :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go to Armageddon :-( But I will next year.
ReplyDeleteI can help you on the tofu front. I have many a recipe that even the most dedicated carnivore will love :-)
Here's a tofu recipe I frequently make for non-tofu eaters. They ALWAYS love it. The bonus is that it's super-simple as well.
ReplyDeleteTofu Balls
1 x block tofu
1 egg
2 tbsp flour (add more if mixture too wet to roll into balls)
handful parsley finely chopped
garlic crushed (as much as you fancy)
salt/pepper - plenty
Put all of above in processor/blender and whizz till smooth (or laboriously mash it all together by hand)
Roll into golf sized balls with wet hands
Meanwhile have a pot of tomato mixture simmering away - either use one of the jars of tomato sauce - the Leggos one is nicest I think, or you can do the usual garlic/onion/canned tomato/tomato puree sauce the long way and make sure you sex it up with herbs & seasonings.
Once the sauce is nicely simmering away gently drop each tofu ball in individually whilst shaking the pot so they don't stick together (they don't tend to - they kinda cook like dumplings). Gently cook for about 15-20mins, if you boil it too hard-out they will fall to pieces - not an attractive look.
Serve over spaghetti or whatever pasta takes your fancy (it's nice once you've drained the pasta to put in some olive oil & crushed garlic to flavour up the pasta - tofu can be kinda bland!
Nice served with freshly grated parmesan & a salad.
Nice stuff! I have The Hobbit if you wanna borrow it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, meringues are REALLY easy :) Just remember you need a clean bowl, clean whisk, and clean egg whites (i.e. no grease/fat/egg yolk).
Ooo, and homemade sushi is so good! You can find a pack at Countdown in the international aisle.
And I thought you already made and decorated some cupcakes for the cupquake?
@Teena - yes I think that I might need MrTee's assistance with the softball one.
ReplyDelete@Denise & @Kat - thank you for the Tofu suggestions. Going to give the balls a whirl. Will blog about how I get on.
@Kepa - Yes, I will borrow your copy of The Hobbit. We have a family member that makes the most amazing meringues...so if mine are almost at her level then I will be happy. I have the Sushi kit's...just need to get the fresh salmon and have a go. Yes, I have made and decorated cupcakes, but I really want to have a go with proper butter icing and a piping bag xx.
