Setting up the Tracking Code

Here's hoping to find who reads this blog, and why.

Tracking is always fun...


Slow as Molasses in January...

... is probably the best description of my food blogging over the past few months.

I've been spending so much time on serious eating that the thought of writing it all down is definitely "de trop".

Today's news, which is certainly not new, is that Italian Foodies is now to be found on the Wordpress platform.

One of my favourites... please to hit the title bar and enjoy.

I've Started Roaming the Net Again

... in search of lively Foodie Blogs.

The Irish Blog Awards 2009 Nominations
have been posted and I'll get round to
making a link to the nominees in time.

The best way to get to know another country is
to try the food.

Marsfoodblog is interesting, as I have never been to Canada
and there are so many European influences still there;
the dishes are both recognisable and not.

Fruity Wafer Thins

The "Wafers" are made with organic crisped rice, which are like pale, unsweetened rice crispies.

Beat 1 egg and add 1 grated apple and some cinnamon.
Add some oil, just enough to make a bit of flavour but not enough to have the result too heavy.
Then some freshly squeezed orange juice.

Add enough crisped rice to absorb the liquids quickly and about 2 oz self raising flour.
None of this was measured exactly, so just make your own proportions.

Put onto an oiled Swiss roll tin and spread out very thinly.

Bake, starting at about gas 6 and putting down to 4 after about five minutes.
I put the temperature up and down a bit during baking, so that the wafers got a bit of colour.
They could end up a dull and unappetising buff shade otherwise.

Hope you all like this.

WBD





Thanks, Davimack, for steering me in the
right direction for World Bread Day links.

I missed the deadline of 16th October,
but find that there are plenty of
baking ideas in the Flickr site
dedicated to this year's Roundup.

The link is in the Title Bar here.
Months, if not years, of baking
happiness to come...
