I’m not used to this much baking!

Hopefully you don't live far from me. What time shall I come round?

Me too, please

Lemon meringue pie, as made by my mum, was always my birthday "cake" request 😋

Sounds delicious. I hope you have a lovely family 'do!

My grandchildren like apple crumble too,

If I wasn't already going out for lunch, I'd be there!!

Lemon meringue pie, yummy.
And apple crumble for afters
Followed by chocolate cake for tea.

A lot of baking hope everyone enjoys it.

All went down very well, thanks everybody!

Main course lunch was v easy - baked gammon, jacket potatoes and my ‘signature’ coleslaw for adults, but mash and cut up peppers/cucumber/cherry toms for Gdcs.

And dd2 brought lots of lovely cheese. 😋

Your lunch sounded delicious. Can we please have the recipe for your signature coleslaw. Intriguing!

It gives you a warm glow when you know your family enjoy your cooking/baking, but it makes me slightly nervous that one time it won’t come up to scratch.
Lasagne is the dish I get requests for, and sticky toffee pudding.

Sounds great. Enjoy.

I only call it that because a dd often requests it!
I don’t grate anything, just chop/fairly finely slice white cabbage, carrot, onion, celery and apple, pref. a red skinned one. And only just enough mayonnaise to bind.

Witzend yum to it all. Had 2 friends for lunch on Saturday. Made a gluten free galette with ready roll gluten free puff pastry. I can't use a rolling pin anymore. Filled with tom chutney my own,peppers , chestnut mushrooms,spring onions and cherry tomatoes topped with Somerset goats cheese . Gluten free steamed golden syrup sponge and vanilla custard. Made a gluten free apple cake for then to take home and 7 jars of my preserves. X had seconds of galette and finished it off. Been years since I made one and had never made golden syrup steamed sponge with gluten free flour just added extra milk and it was light and delicious if I must say so myself.

All sounds most delicious, Whiff! Lucky guests!

Thanks Witzend. I love home made coleslaw.

I'm not a very enthusiastic baker, although I will make an effort occasionally. I invariably make a huge mess while doing it. DH misses his mother's baked goods, she made wonderful cakes and biscuits and her shortbread was delightful.
Yesterday I baked a rolled gingerbread for him since he requested it.
It turned out well and he's enjoying it.
