Beautiful sunny day and lovely and warm..Not. It is really cold today, but it is sunny out. VT nipped out for a short while to get a couple of things and he said the traffic was quite busy, but is was cold. Not a day for sitting on the beach then, or sitting in the farden with a barbie.
I finished the Mail on Sunday crossword this morning, and a few awkward ones, but got there in the end. VT helped me do my roots this afternoon, he is good at that, gets to the places I can't reach! I have bought a new cape thing for when you do hair dyeing etc., and it is excellent, you don't get drips on your clothes with that. While it was brewing, I started a banana cake. We had three very very manky bananas in the fruit bowl to use up so I dug out an old recipe that I had.VT took over and finished it off. he is turning into an extremely good cook. Watch out Delia!
Recipe:
4oz Marg
4ozSugar
1 Egg
3 Bananas mashed
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Tablespns Milk
8oz s.r. flour
method
Cream the marg and the sugar till soft and fluffy
Add the egg and the mashed banana
Dissolve the bicarb in the milk and add that
Fold in the flour and salt.
Spread mix into a base lined 8in sandwich tin..or two smaller ones and bake in
Gas oven mark 4/5 for about 30-40 mins depending on what size tin..till golden brown.
Can be eaten plain, or cut in half and spread with a little lemony butter cream.
At the time of typing this the whole house smells deliciously of a banana sponge cake. Just been down to take it out of the oven and it looks good. Well done VT.
Tonight we are having:
Vegetable Pasty from Waitrose..delicious.
A rice pudding from there too.
Tonight is a Waitrose Fest!
