Creme Caramel
My friend Mel introduced me to the food blog burning experiment. This month its all about eggs, so I got thinking what dessert might have lots of eggs in them. Ema is forever making egg pudding as it is termed in the Bangladeshi community. In other words Creme Caramel. The only problem was it just tasted too eggy for me and my sister. So I decided to add a little lavender. So me and the rest of the gang meaning Ema and my sister infused some milk with lavender and sugar. Then took three eggs and added about 150mls of the infused lavender milk and a couple of tablespoons of lavender sugar and sweentened to taste. Using caramelised sugar we lined some oven proof containers and added the mixture on top. They were steamed and turned out when they were done.

Unfortunatly they still tasted too eggy but at least my mom enjoyed it.

Last Sunday my sister had a day off from her part-time job and decided it would be nice to go out somewhere. So she managed to talk everyone into being available and ready to go to Drayton Manor Park and Zoo even mom. Mom doesn't much like venturing out unless its somewhere peaceful but we all told her the zoo wouldn't be too packed and so off everyone went. On Sunday the temperature must have been about 28 degrees, and everyone must have had the same idea of having a nice day out. The park was jostling with people and the queues were trailing at 40 minute waits for the most popular rides. The heat and the people was just too much, but everyone had a good time.
The day progressed and everyone got hot and bothered, so they told me and it was time for them to visit the park and here my sister in law Ema took this picture. I wish someone had taken one of her when she went on the hammer. Because I couldn't believe that she went on it when she told me. Let’s just say she’s not the bravest person I know when it comes to scary rides, movies and such. Anyway they all came home just in time to enjoy the thunder storm that began to rage once they stepped through the front door.

Stawberries

Today I had my first volunteer finish taking part in my project. He made it through the 12weeks of the project and in celebration I brought some pastries and fruit. I noticed some strawberries going really cheap at a market stall and since they were looking very delicious I brought a punnet. We were pleasantly surprised by the sweetness of taste.

I later started looking up recipes with strawberries in and Mel suggested the blueberry coffee cake from the following website: www.chocolateandzucchini.com All I had to do is replace the blueberries with strawberries. So after uni I dashed to the stall and luckily it was still open. I brought another punnet of strawberries and went off home. On the way purchasing the remainder of the ingredients needed for the cake. Got home and unfortunately left the strawberries in the kitchen unattended and being the lovely hot day that it was everyone felt like fresh fruit. Of course the strawberries were spotted, by the time I got back to the kitchen half had been gobbled up by my nieces and nephews. Anyway went ahead with the cake making scheme. Finally a cake was produced, that supported the weight of the strawberries. I thought all of them would sink to the base of the cake but no they stayed in position. Overall the cake was O.K but could have done with a few more strawberries, very small ones so you fit plenty in the cake.
