Hi @Shaz51 and others here. Great discussion thread idea! I’m not a person who loves and enjoys cooking - I’ll leave that to my housemate! - but I do love getting ideas for dinner and lunches so I can see this thread being very useful for me.

Meal ideas on rotation at my house include:

- Spag bol

- Tacos

- Chicken risotto

- mini pizzas

- Beef and veg stir fry with noodles and oyster sauce

- Fried rice

- Frittatas

- Bacon and egg pies

- Tennessee chicken from Woolies

- Nashville chicken from Woolies

- Tomato soup and multigrain bread

- Oriental 2 minute noodles

Take care!

Hi hun,

So nice to hear from you. I have missed you. I understand though the need to take a break from the forums. Are you back? Or just popping in?

I will be baking these cook along cookies on Tuesday afternoon. Will let you know how I get on.

Please go take a look at the first post in this thread. Would love for you to join in. Also please tag people you think might be interested in cooking along with us.

Hey there @Oaktree 🙂🌺💜

I hope your day is going wel so far 🙂

here’s my batter from yesterday..

I am just getting ready to roll it into the little balls and do a double coat of icing sugar ☺️🙌🏻

when it’s finished baking, I’ll take some pics 😍

@sheba30 @Birdofparadise8

and anyone who is also interested in seeing how this turns out! ☺️🌺

..and here’s an update on the little balls, which are now in the fridge to cool before baking..

they’re quite hard to roll I found (peripheral neuropathy - I can’t feel them so I can’t be as gentle as I’d like to be), but I grabbed a chunk, and kind of dropped it into a larger bowl of icing sugar, then scooped the icing sugar up over the blob to coat, then it was possible to roll it to firmly embed the icing sugar.
I’m aiming to have the most ugly ones haha 😁🌺🙌🏻

You are doing a great job @Former-Member considering all your limitations! Well done, mine will probably be uglier

Thanks heaps @Oaktree 🙌🏻☺️🌺

here’s the first tray - they got stuck in the oven for an extra few mins as I was stuck in the laundry..I spilled some stuff on the floor so I had to clean it up before I forgot..

a little overdone! 🤭

They taste gently sweet, lemony, and almost the texture of macaroons 😍

I popped a couple of drops of lime juice into the sugar when rubbing though the zest, and I think it adds a touch of softness to the lemon (I prefer lime to lemon, and this seemed a good way to add a bit of my favourite citrus to it, and it worked, I think! 🙂).
