Paneer And Tofu | I Made It Challenge

November 30, 2013November 7, 2023 ~ Tandy ~ 11 Comments

The similarity between the paneer and tofu challenges didn’t end with the process. It ended with me not actually making either.

I Made It – A New Challenge For Bloggers

February 22, 2013February 2, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 28 Comments

I have given a lot of though to starting up my weekly challenges again, and decided against it because of all the hard work, and because we all lead such busy lives that a weekly challenge is too difficult to achieve. So, I have come up with a new monthly challenge theme I Made It. It does … Continue reading I Made It – A New Challenge For Bloggers

Hellburner, Mike Maden

February 19, 2023February 17, 2023 ~ Tandy ~ 4 Comments

Hellburner opening lines: “That’s his third course correction, sir,” Santos said. “There’s no doubt he’s chasing us.” My blurb: Sokratis Katrakis has done everything he can to ensure the world thinks he is dead. But his old time business partner, David Hakobyan is well aware he is still alive. The Armenian lives a life most … Continue reading Hellburner, Mike Maden

Soft Cheese | Curd Cheese Made With Citric Acid

August 30, 2021July 27, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

And then I looked at the container I had taken out of the drawer and it was the … Continue reading Soft Cheese | Curd Cheese Made With Citric Acid

Linseed Sourdough Made With Active Starter

July 9, 2021June 12, 2023 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

I can remember my step-gran eating linseeds every day of her life. She would place them into water overnight and then have them the following day. They are an excellent source of fibre, and one of the reasons I made this linseed sourdough. You might call them flaxseeds where you live. Head straight on to … Continue reading Linseed Sourdough Made With Active Starter

Blueberry Frangipane | Made With Frozen Fruit

April 9, 2021March 16, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

I tested this recipe using both fresh and frozen blueberries and must say I prefer the colour of the blueberry frangipane when I used frozen fruit. They are also much cheaper than fresh for some reason so that is another reason to use them. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Blueberry Frangipane ♥ … Continue reading Blueberry Frangipane | Made With Frozen Fruit

Green Bean Soup Made With Chicken Stock

March 8, 2021February 11, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

After 20 years of living together, and 28 years of knowing each other, I learnt something new about Dave. He is not a fan of green beans. I like them blanched in boiling water, slathered with butter and salted. When I made the discovery I had just purchased a large bag of them. So I … Continue reading Green Bean Soup Made With Chicken Stock

Enemy Contact, Mike Maden

July 5, 2020June 7, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

Enemy Contact opening lines: He was a Scorpion. First Ensign Salvio was never more proud of that fact than now. My blurb: Someone, somewhere is leaking secrets.
