More baking.

I was asked recently by fellow blogger Penny from Violet White, if I had made any progress on the recipe book I had mentioned previously. The answer is yes, a bit, but not a lot.

These are Cockles, they are a bit a bit like Melting Moments, but with jam instead of icing in between.

And this is Marble Cake, or it could be a Marble (Bar) Cake. (A bit of a play on words for us Aussies; Marble Bar is a place in the Northern Territory).

I have been publishing the recipes on the Wolston Historic House Facebook page and they are always well received. 

Next post will show progress on the raffle quilt, my sister is a hard taskmaster!

Tuesday treasures

I'm a bit late posting today as I went to the movies earlier to see The Hobbit. I loved it, but I have been a Tolkien fan for a long time, and I know it's not the kind of film that appeals to everyone. Having said that, it must be the most expensive ad campaign for New Zealand ever made!!! If the scenery doesn't inspire one to visit.... well I don't know what would.
Anyway that's a digression, not my treasure for the day. This is a recent treasure, a Christmas gift from my daughter to be exact. She has taken scans of my mother's recipes ( in her handwriting) and had them printed on to tea towels. Isn't that fabulous!
This one is Mum's plum pudding recipe...

... and this one is an everyday cake.

 I know I will treasure these for a long time.
