whole wheat goldfish crackers...

a novel treat and something different to hit your taste buds when you get some spare time and feel like playing  housewife...

RECIPE


Yield: About 100 1 1/4 inch goldfish
6 ounces (1 1/2 cups coarsely grated) sharp cheddar, orange if you can find one you like

4 tablespoons (2 ounces or 57 grams) butter
1/2 cup (2 1/2 ounces or 62 grams) whole wheat flour
1/4 cup (1 1/8 ounces or 31 grams) all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon table salt


Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in a food processor, running the machine until the dough forms a ball, about two minutes.

If the dough feels warm or worrisome-ly soft, wrap it in waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for 30 to 45 minutes. This also makes it easier to transfer shapes once they are rolled out.

On a lightly floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/8-inch thick. Form shapes with a cookie cutter, dipping it in flour from time to time to ensure a clean cut. Gently transfer crackers to an ungreased (though mine were parchment-lined, because they are in despicable shape) cookie sheet with a 1/2 inch between them. Bake the crackers on the middle rack for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are barely browned at the edges. Remove from the oven and set the cookie sheet on a rack to cool.

a day of weddings...local and royal

this morning i thought it fitting that i post about the royal wedding...so i went to my trusty friend google (who never lets me down) and i found this... 


there are no words that sprung to mind when i first laid eyes on this cake. my brain was pure mush but for some reason i was smiling, profusely. it has also inspired me to cut up my wedding cupcakes/macaroons with a sword, apparently it's a done thing these days.
happy royal wedding day and
happy sophie and jason wedding day.
Jason, you now have no excuse to forget your wedding anniversay- google will never let you down either, and
Sophie, you can now call yourself a wog and your no longer a 'no name' lasagne, you are the 'real deal' lasagne ;-)
much much love

wedding blues...

ok, looking up ideas for weddings has officially killed me... i just stumbled across these Mc Queens and nearly cried when i saw they were over 2000 pounds. 
i guess Mc Queens really are an investment though right? 
and what better way to put on the sop story...its for 'our wedding, it only happens once a lifetime, what's $3500 really?'

the one and only B.B King...my snaps of last night

after years of talking about flying over to the states to see the one and only BB.King, he chose to beat me to the chase by coming to australia for a tour. last night i was blown away by a musical genius, i was waved to by one, touched by one (on the hand ) :-), and he threw me a gold (no not real gold) necklace from on stage... I was also lucky enough to take these pictures while i was there in my little nirvana...
a big thanks to my dad who was brilliant company on a day full of excitement

getting in touch with nature...

flicking through my bridal mag has gotten me in a white kind of mood..though i doubt i will be sporting a long white dress on my wedding day, i do love the purity associated with it...
