It was Kate's birthday on Wednesday and I prepared dinner for us all to celebrate. A quick and easy lasagne for main course, or so I thought. I have an old and trusted friend when it comes to making white sauces, my old and battered Tefal Saucier, it never falters!!!!
Until yesterday!
Would the sauce thicken, no it wouldn't. I added extra cornflour, flour, it made no difference. I decided that perhaps the Saucier had come to the end of it's life so I wrapped my hands round it to see if there was any heat in the poor old girl and found very quickly that it was indeed very hot. Ouch!!
Out came a saucepan and as soon as I'd put it on the gas the sauce became thicker and thicker and thicker so I added more milk and even more milk. You guessed it, it didn't manage to thin the sauce.
So my quick and easy lasagne ended up with lots of blobs of sauce over the top, covered by a heavy disguise/garnish of grated mozzarella.
It cooked nicely though and tasted lovely!
Thankfully the dessert wasn't as stressful and was gorgeous!
I'm also very pleased to have received this award from Miriam this week.
The Liebster Award is a blog award, which apparently originated in Germany, to showcase bloggers with fewer than 200 followers. Upon accepting the award the recipient must then pass it on to five more blogs of note, which is a wonderful way of introducing bloggers to your own favourite blogs.
The Liebster Convention says you must:-
1. Thank your award presenter on your blog and link back to him/her;
2. Copy and paste the award to your blog;
3. Present the Liebster Award to 5 blogs (with less than 200 followers) that you love;
4. Leave a comment on their blog to let them know;
5. Have faith that those award winners will spread the blog love.

ReplyDeleteThe pavlova looks lovely, no candles on it though. I was glad to pass on the award to you, your blog is always very entertaining and makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteShe did have candles on her birthday cake Miriam, Peter sorted them. I was amused when he said he had got the candles from his mum. On the phone I was sure he said that they were of nudes. Thankfully my hearing and brain weren't connected as when he arrived they were infact used!
