When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.....

This post has nothing to do with lemons but please bear with me.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade ........ so ........ when your husband brings home from work a 2kg bag of grated cheese which is almost on its sell by date ............ make cheese scones.... make cheese straws ..... and .....

Yep, tonight in an attempt to use the huge bag of grated cheese currently sitting on the top shelf of the fridge Lara and I made cheese scones and cheese straws (very 1970s cocktail party).

They both came out of the oven looking very tasty and having tried them I can vouch that they do taste as good as they look.





So tomorrow what should I make? Cheese & Bacon Flan? Cheese Souffle? Macaroni Cheese? Cauliflower Cheese? All suggestions gratefully received.

Comic Relief - Red Nose Day

I'm watching the Comic Relief's Red Nose Day programmes whilst I make this post. LOL at Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French and friends doing Mama Mia. To mark the occasion I decorated some cakes for us to munch while we watch and yummy they are too.

Tonight the Mojo Holder DT scraplifted Marla Kress. Marla is a fabulous photographer as well as an inspiring scrapbooker. Marla's LO was very bright and funky - mine was more subdued.

Amazing What Some Buttercream And Betty Crocker Ready Made Fudge Topping Can Do

Well, after yesterdays trauma of baking the cake I have now spent the morning decorating it! After piping copious amounts of butter cream and Betty Crocker's ready made fudge topping on it and adding details with ready-to-roll regal icing it now looks fab (If I do say so myself)! I am actually really pleased with it - although I dread to think what it will taste like.

The decorating wasn't without problems though! It took ages to get the butter cream to the right consistency, I used the wrong size nozzle to start with and then my piping bag decided to split! Luckily my Mum came to the rescue with some Lakeland Disposable Icing Bags. They were great and did the job. So here's the finished cake all ready for the party. (Must make mental note next year to get Mr Tesco to make the cake)

Last night's scraplift on Mojo Holder was a lift of a LO by Jane aka Emnol . I used photos of Lara with her Halloween Pumpkin. Here's Jane and my LO
