Weekend

Yesterday we celebrated Fathers Day and had great fun with seeing our daughters and grandchildren.  Thank goodness the internet didn't let us down.  I was also able to speak to my Dad too which was a real delight.  We celebrated with a few of my dear husbands favourite foods.  Not least pork fillet stuffed with apricot and ginger stuffing and wrapped in streaky bacon.  It is a Hairy Bikers recipe and one that we love and use a lot.




It was delicious and enough to have it again today for dinner.  A great recipe that is a huge success every time I cook it.  We had it with a medley of vegetables and a Yorkshire pudding that had been made previously and put in the freezer.  I have been asked for the recipe and how I get them to rise.  The key is to ensure that the pan and the oil is hot prior to putting in the batter. Another great tip to ensure they rise is not to open the oven door until they are cooked about 20 minutes.  The batter I make using:

70g plain flour
2 eggs
100ml milk
sunflower oil for cooking

Mix the ingredients together until they are lump free and pour into the pan.  The batter is enough for 4 large or 12 small puddings.  Hope that helps.





Followed by another favourite lemon meringue pie.



Enough for a couple of days.  This is the one time I do cook the pastry blind to ensure that it is cooked as the meringue is cooked on a quite a low heat. 

We didn't get to the beach as planned, the weather let us down a little but today is another day.  Although a little windy and raining at the moment I am hopeful that this will pass.  I have a pile of ironing that needs my attention and there is always a craft project to keep me busy.  Have you any plans for today?

See you soon.

  1. When our son comes at Christmas, he is in charge of the Yorkshires and his are Mile High ones! He says the secret is to beat lots of air in and as you said, a really hot oven/hot oil. What a lovely meal that looks - will look up that recipe as my husband LOVES ginger and that would go so well with the apricots too.

    We don't celebrate Father's Day as Himself thinks it is a waste of time, but both grown children who live away phoned, and I baked him the cake of his choice (chocolate apple & ginger cake). That Lemon Meringue looks delish!

    1. OFFICIAL HACKING COMPANY IS THE BEST SITE TO GET BLANK ATM CARD.I was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting (officialhackingcompany@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with$50,000,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!

    2. iI’m lauriel from New York, United States. I lost my job a few months back after my divorce with my wife. I tried everything positive to make sure I took good care of my kids but all failed, and I was in debt which makes everything worse. I was kicked out of my home and i had to live with my neighbor after pleading with her to allow me to stay with her for some days while I figured out how to get a home which she agreed to, but no one was willing to help anymore. I bumped into this page from google and I was excited about this, then I contacted the hackersBill Dean. I had just $200, so I pleaded with them to help me because of my condition but they never accepted. I believed in this, so I managed to pawn a few things and got $500. I ordered the $10,000 card and I got my card delivered to me by Ups 4 days later. I never believed my eyes! I was excited and upset as well, I managed to withdraw $2000 on the ATM and $2500 the second day. I went to Walmart and a grocery store and bought a couple of things for $3000. The card got blocked the third day and I contacted them and I was told it's a mistake from my end. I’m so happy, I have started all over again and have a good apartment with my kids you can contact him through is via email (globalatmcardhackingservice@gmail.com)or his whatsap contact (+1 301-887-5071)

  6. I thought yorkshire pudding was pudding, it's a bisquit? They look quite good. All your fixins look good, and lemon merinque pie refresing. Do you bake your pie with the meringue on top? I put mine under the broiler to brown the tips.

  13. I must google that pork fillet recipe. I nearly bought some the other week as I knew I had seen a recipe that it would have fitted. I bet it is just as nice cold as it is hot

  14. That looks like a delicious meal you have cooked. I am so glad to hear that your internet worked and enabled you to chat to family, it is a lifeline at this time isn't it.

  15. Oh Lorraine, that looks like the most delicious meal! I wish Dennis and I could have celebrated with you. :-)
    We were able to face-time with both Alex and Mandy yesterday. I guess with distance it's the best we can do but I'm ready for a "real" hug from one of my kids. Take care my friend.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  16. That meal looks quite delicious. I would love to cook that but my hubby is not that keen on pork and I have to be careful it doesn't trigger my gout. The yorkshire puddings love nice too. Glad your internet worked so you could see your children and grandchildren. I am luck that my daughter lives in Norwich but my son and his family moved to Huddersfield the week before lockdown. We do however skype with them. Keep safe.

  17. So glad you were able to facetime your family. That made it a special day. Your roast and pie must have been enjoyable as both look delicious. Our Sunday was lovely with online church fellowship in the morning and time with family in the afternoon. Today I started early with two loads of washing and with the sunny weather and a breeze everything dried well. Hope you get an opportunity for a walk and some more times in your garden this week.

    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.

  26. GET RICH WITH THE USE OF BLANK ATM CARD FROM
    (besthackersworld58@gmail.com)
    Has anyone here heard about blank ATM card? An ATM card that allows you to withdraw cash from any Atm machine in the world. No name required, no address required and no bank account required. The Atm card is already programmed to dispense cash from any Atm machine worldwide. I heard about this Atm card online but at first i didn't pay attention to it because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got the card from guarantee Atm card vendor. We both went to the ATM machine center and confirmed it really works, without delay i gave it a go. Ever since then I’ve been withdrawing $1,500 to $5000 daily from the blank ATM card & this card has really changed my life financially. I just bought an expensive car and am planning to get a house. For those interested in making quick money should contact them on: Email address : besthackersworld58@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on +1(323)-723-2568
