We cook something from the latest issue of the magazine and then blog it.....easy peasy
Anyone can join so just drop me a line if you are interested
Menu from Issue 64 Aug/Sept 2012
Porcini and Mixed Mushroom Risotto ~very similar recipe over here
Strawberry, Mascarpone and Almond Tray Tart
Chocolate Butterscotch Truffles with Almond Praline
Salted Dark Chocolate Truffles......because I couldn't resist
Basic Chocolate Truffle recipe over here
The Risotto......you can't see the Mushrooms really well as I went a bit crazy with the Baby Spinach Leaves and Parmesan Cheese.......but wow, was it delicious
I used Porcini......Portobello......Swiss Brown and Baby Mushrooms
I used a Gluten Free Pastry from Rick's Pantry available at Coles
Salted Chocolate Truffles.....not as smooth looking as Donna's......but nice and salty
And the Butterscotch Truffles......delicious with a glass of Butterscotch Schnappes
A very, very tasty meal and a seal of approval for the Salted Chocolate from Mr Armchair
Only 2 weeks to go until The Bay Theatre Players production of Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance opens
I'm part of the Chorus of Police and we have been rehearsing since May
Sunday is our first full dress rehearsal and then after that it's 3 times a week till Curtain Up
So not much stitching will be happening here at a guess but I will try and fit some in Chooky
Till next time......Happy Stitching and Bon Appetit

Yum....I love risotto and those sweet things...mmmmmm!!!
DZINTRA! I so enjoyed going to Irina's blog and sitting down to a virtual meal with her! And to know that you were joined in with her made it so fun. We are now having our fall and it is in full swing now, with the blustery mornings and evenings.
I am so tickled when anyone is engaged in a theatre production! YOU LOOK STUNNINGLY beautiful as a bobby!!!!
And yes, it was always a treat to run over to the five and dime as we used to call them, to get a spool of thread for mum's sewing. To this day, I enjoy just taking a long walk for one little special item...because it reminds me of her.
HAVE FUN!!!!!!! Anita
In the Netherlands we have a program called "taste police". This came up when I first saw what you cooked and then you as a police.
Have a wonderful weekend.
BOBBY DZINTRA!!!!!!!!!! oooo, HOW DID YOUR DRESS REHEARSAL GO?????
What fun. The theatre is an experience that never leaves you. I had the most fun DIRECTING my students these last past nine years and it was their favorite experience in their fourth grade. YOU ARE DOING IT!!!!
Yes my dear, my mum's spirit lives in me as I walk to the shop to get what I need to complete a project....funny how memory works....I never forget my parents because their creativity is in ME. I find myself tinkering around my basement looking for something to help me adjust something, just like my dad used to do in his garage.
HAVE FUN TODAY...it is your spring now, isn't it?
LOVE! Anita
Oh how I wish we could watch a bit of your performance! HEY! Could you get someone to record a moment of the show and you can make a Youtube out of it???? Anita
Your dinner just wonderful as always
enjoy your rehersal
hugs
Thank you for the warm welcome, dear friend!!!
Oh my, everything looks amazing! Yummy, I love mushroom risotto, and the sweets..I am drooling, Dzintra! :)))
Can't wait to get this issue, my dear!
And I am so excited for your performance...you look fabulous, and I would imagine your hand is all healed up...
Have a ball!!!
Love to you!

I love risotto! I haven't tasted it for such a long time. Now that I've seen your photo, I'm kind of craving for it. Wew!
