Jay ~ I like the chat. is that a bad thing?
No idea, how to fix that sorry Blue!!

Anyway.........

well ladies my kids have been outside for most of the afternoon and jess had a sleep so normally i would get stuck into the house work .
but today i thought no im going to chuck a dvd on so i made myself a cuppa and grabbed two cookies and watched a dvd it was great.
now back to reality what am i going to cook for dinner any ideas guys?
Well mine are just having a quick and easy pasta bake !!!
I also have a drive to do tonight, but its 45 mins to get there and 45 min's back :(
I was going to make a sausage casserol, quick and easy, I do it with those packet soups, the spring vegetables one, I first grill sausages, then cut up chunky potato, carrots,broccoli, pumkin ,onion. Bake it and serve with rice! But might just have left over spag bol inside a bih potaot in its jacket, throw on some grated cheese and sour cream, yep thats easy, will have that!
Roast beef & all the trimmings for us.
Wow Soul you're a fantastic cook!! I'm taking notes of all your "slap together dinner ideas"
Tomorrow I am making da dadada ( drum roll) Pavlova, mmmmmmmm just hope I don't eat it all before dessert. hahahah
Hey I cant find your pasta one from the other week, can you pplleeaassee do it again for me?
Going to the RSL for tea.. Good food cheap.. :D :D :D :D
Jay was not insulted by your comment.. I think that it is funny :LOL:
Stormy, which pasta one sweetie? OMG your having roast????????? Is Tom Cruise coming for dinner? My meals have come from cheap budgeting, pathetic ha! I am not very good at cakes though, so ship me some pav will ya! Pavlova is one of my favs!
Anyone ever tried pumkin pie? I have always wnated to know what its like, I see them eating it on the movies with whipped cream and it look so lish I want some!
man my puetr just spacked at me and wouldnt let me on here!!!!
I would sign in and it wouls say thanks for signing in and then i would come to make a post and i wouldnt be logged in!!!!! Maybe i am meant to be doing something else
Well its my night for it, i started the shower to wash DD hair and the shower went cold once i got the shampoo in!!! Ran out of gas and DH won't be home for another hour! GRrrrrrrrrrr.
Thankfully i hgad just boiled kettle so was able to rinse that out, but that has put a stop to hairwashing and showers until he gets home which means late to bed!!!
Oh well best get back to serving up dinner now. I have gone with the smoked cod steamed veg and couscous here.
Never had pumpkin pie before, don't think I wanna either.
The pav would have gone well with the roast, ah well it will soften up the boring chops tomorrow ;)
I think your pasta dish was in our last thread but ZI cant find it, I;ll try again when I get more than 5 mins!!
For a lazy meal I just boil some pasta, chop up some bacon, diced onion, sometimes muchrooms and throw together with some packet of those cheese sauces and some grated cheese! Basic and yummy and so good for being lazy!!
soul u have wonderful ideas for dinner keep them coming
i just had boring vegies with meat tonight .
im not good with dinner but i can make yummy cakes and desserts
i dont know how to make pumkin pie but my mum makes the best grammer pie i could get that recipe for u soul if u want it
mmmmm all this talk of desserts is gonna be no good for my wasteline!
Well dinner went down well here tonight, everybody happy for a change, that makes my evening so much better.
I have never had pumpkin pie before either. I would try it though, so is it meant to be a dessert type pie??? That sounds weird sincxe it a veg and all!!
Anyway i think i gonna have to have something sweet now.....
LOLOL that you all thought I was blonde!!!!! haven't been blonde since I was about 3 years old. I had short hair nearly all my life (very short) and started growing it out a couple of years ago. I usually wear it up because I can't stand it in my face. I took that picture with it down so my sis could see how long my hair is now.
Blue, you might have to log out of photobucket in order to see my album?? If that doesn't help then send a note to one of the moderators. One of them helped me set up the link :)
Pumpkin pie is a dessert pie and it is YUM. I have a recipe for that and one for sweet potato pie too which I'll look up later today. Do you want me to post it here or under recipes?
I made a chicken pie last night. The boys loved it. I used coles puff pastry for the crust instead of making my own crust. I really should just give up making a crust and use the premade ones, it's so easy and they are quite good.
lol castle for the editing remark
wow its quiet in here today
everybody must be busy
its a gorgeous day to be busy
Glad that you're in a psychedelic mood, Jesabell! You must be feeling better :)
OK, time to do a few things. Little ones are sleeping....the Girl slept very well last night, 11-5, so for once I'm not tired.

Soul Dear,
I will put up the recipe tomorrow. I got it out today but was distracted by something else (LOL, I know that never happens to any of you!!) and never typed it up. Good night everyone!
Hey guys..
Thanks Castle for that. I logged out and it went no probs to yours.. I was trying to work out weather i knew you or not.. Love the pics.. you have a beautiful fam.. i grew up in newy. and even went to newy high.. :D
I've had a huge day today.. a friend owns a farm and they did a couple of kills last week. they asked me to go out to help butcher.. Oh it is hard work.. but lots of fun too. :D Then I had band tonite. and just a big day.. :) :D ;)
OK girls...give it a go. I haven't made it for ages but it's yummo. LOL, I hope I don't get in trouble for a very long post :) Just take note, the instructions for making the puree give you enough puree for 2 pies, but the recipe itself is for ONE pie.
Pumpkin Pie:
For the puree: about 2.5-3 kg pumpkin to yield 4 cups of puree, enough for 2 pies
Hack the pumpkin into big pieces. Don’t peel it, but scrape out all the stringy pulp. Bake/roast the pumpkin in the oven, covered, at about 150º for at least 1.5 hours until soft. You don’t want it to brown, which is why it should be covered. I think I may have microwaved it first.
Scrape the pumpkin off the rind and puree it or force it through a sieve. The puree should be fairly firm. If it seems loose and watery, drain it through cheesecloth with a weight on it. (I have never had to do this.)
Pie crust: should be in a deep pan, about 9” round (22.5 cm). You can use a frozen premade flan case if you like. It should NOT be puff pastry. The pie has a bottom crust only.
Ingredients for one pie:
2-3 large eggs (3 eggs: soft and custardy filling, 2 eggs: firmer filling)
2 cups pumpkin puree
¾ cup milk
¾ cup cream
½ cup sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp allspice
½ tsp salt
Preheat the oven to 190º. WARM the pastry crust in the oven. This is important: it should be hot to the touch. It does not have to blind bake first, but it has to be hot in order to cook the filling and pastry properly. Just pop it in the oven while you are whisking the filling together.
Whisk the eggs together. Add the pumpkin puree and all the other ingredients. Whisk together thoroughly until it is very smooth and all the eggs and cream are well mixed in.
The mixture should be at room temperature or slightly warm. Pour it into the HOT pastry. Bake about 35-45 minutes. The centre of the filling should be set, but quivery, like jelly. Let the pie cool completely on a rack.
It is served cold or at room temperature but never hot!
Wow thanks castle i am keen to give this a go! IT sounds yummy, will have to make it this weekend though cause i am too flat out during the week.
Thanks again nad morning to all :)
Hi Girls, Thought I should stick my head in here. As I really should be posting in here too.
Perhaps I am still in denial that I have a large family ;)
Castle that pie sounds delicious. I don't love the taste of regular pumkin htough, do you think it would work with butternut ?? Or perhaps a mixture of both ??
Please forgive me for not going back to read up on all the posts. There just isn't enough time in the day / or morning.
I hope all are well and that you have a great day :D
LOL Trish yeah i think you belong in here!!!!! Welcome :)
I don't see my family as large either yet other people go omg is there enough of you ???? pmsl
Well i am off to get my day under way now have school newsletters to do and then all my afternoon rush. So i will pop in sometime this evening and see what you have all been up to.
Until then have a good one ;)
