...and the white stuff is back

So the snow is here again, and causing havoc.
Neither of the parents are home from work, one is 7 miles away and considering walking home and the other is 32 miles away and moving nowhere fast. But I digress, the principal reason for this post was to showcase my latest baking extravaganza:

TA DAA!

 
 Lemon Meringue Pie!

I'm really getting into this baking malarky...

and another creation that I made a few days ago...

 
Baked Rice Pudding :)
 
Over and out
 (until the next culinary news!)

Everything in Moderation...

I have made two batches this morning, one for the St John guys and one for the work guys. They are making the house smell rather wonderful :)

In the making...


and the finished product...

I make Edibles not Presentables

Another recipe to add to the book...

Banana Cream Pie

Whilst creating this scrumptious dessert, I inadvertently cooked up my first batch of custard from scratch too. I also introduced shortcrust pastry into my expanding recipe repertoire.

Here is the finished product:

 
...like I said Edibles not Presentables - It was truly yummy though!

Oh hello Janurary Snow...

... The more it snows (Tiddely-Pom)
The more it goes (Tiddely-Pom)
The more it goes on snowing (Tiddely-Pom)
And nobody knows (Tiddely-Pom)
How cold my toes (Tiddely-Pom)
How cold my toes are growing (Tiddely-Pom Tiddely-Pom Tiddely-Pom Tiddely-Pom)...

Here, I present my newest creation:


A rather elaborate and pretty snowflake made from paper :)
 
A short, but sweet post.
 
Tara for now! xx
