I must make some more. The last thing I made was self saucing chocolate pudding from the CWA Housewives Cookbook that my grandmother gave me. Nothing modern it in, but heaps of tried and true recipes.

Well done on the cakes @outlander. I'd LOOOVE your recipe for brownies if you feel up to typing it on here.
I made the creamy mushroom sauce tonight and it was super yummy even if I do say so myself. It's easy too.
_____________________
1 tbsp butter, 1 pink shallot finely chopped, 450g mushrooms sliced, salt and pepper, 3/4 cup heavy cream, optional 1-2 tsp sherry
saute shallot 2 minutes, don't brown
add mushrooms, salt and pepper and cover with sealed lid
reduce to medium-low and steam slowly for about 10 min.
Add 1/2 cup chopped spinach or parsley if you want.
remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon and set aside
reduce liquid on high heat to about 3 tbsp (about 3 min)
add cream and boil til thickened a bit (2-3 min max)
put mushroom mix back in and adjust salt and pepper if needed (I like lots of pepper)
add sherry if using
____________
serve on toast or with pasta of your choice (spaghettie is good or fettucine)
Hope you enjoy this.
