This has been christened pizza roll by the family. Bread dough rolled into a square, toppings of choice (in this case softened onion, sliced mushrooms, ham, cheese and mixed herbs), rolled up like a Swiss roll then left to rise before baking in a hot oven for 20 minutes. I make the pizza dough recipe in my bread maker with 50-50 white and wholemeal bread flour.

It’s handy instead of sandwiches for days out

Looks pretty darn nourishing and good for a day’s outing.

Post man delivered this today, it was a free poster from David Attenborough’s blue planet 2 which aired a year or two ago......that was when I ordered this poster. I completely forgot I ordered it. This parcel took more than a year to arrive, that is ridiculous!!!

I heard from Carol. She is simply very busy doing things for herself and also Jarrod’s hockey. Wearing herself out a bit by the sounds of it, but she is fine. She says to say hi to you all [emoji4]

Very portable. Doesn’t collapse or squish too badly. Easily shoved in a pocket if you don’t have a bag!

You must have Carol’s postman. That’s normal for her [emoji23]

I’d have one of those, maybe without the mushrooms though, I hate mushrooms

Nagh - probably never tasted them properly prepared? Or just regular white button ones. They can be sooooo tasty!

They are normally very good, I can only think it got lost in the corner or something

Glad she’s ok (outside the norm) ... hope she makes it back soon. I like to read everyone else’s “norm” so that mine seems less dramatic [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

My oldest daughter begs for me to make sautéed mushrooms for a treat.. I have always used them a lot when cooking different kinds of meats and would have to scold her for picking out all of the mushrooms before everyone fixed their plate Good protein!

 

[Ray--Opo]

Sounds like a great idea

I didn't mention that they are made to keep greens fresher longer. They do actually work.

I’m going to have to disagree with you there, I despise mushrooms with a strong passion

You have a very modern-looking kitchen. Do you live in a newish house?

My daughter has her two grand kids all this week (school starts next week, she's a cafeteria lady). She mentioned that Friday she's taking the boys to see The Lion King. I must've been thinking about it while I slept, because this a.m. I sent her an email telling her I'd go with them to act as an extra set of hands in managing the boys if she wants. Haven't heard back from her yet.

My Grandad was very fussy when he was a boy. He grew up in east London during the blitz and as you know, all food was rationed. His mother used to give him Rubarb, he hated it so he flicked it off his plate and onto the white table cloth (it stained). He still hates rubarb to this day.

Oh dear will you have to get him tested?
I'm sure he would have had some symptoms if he was affected.
I hope he's OK.

Yeah at this point if he had that would have shown up. Just thought it was crazy when I read that. Kinda makes since now though why they had not treated Takoda for the fleas or anything.

The house was built in 1992 so it is quite new I suppose. However, we had a major project three years ago and got the wall knocked down between the small kitchen and small dining room and had one large kitchen installed. I love it as I was able to get it set up how I would use it. I wish we had bern able to afford to do it years ago when the children were home more. It’s far more practical than what we had before.


We use our conservatory, added to the house 11 years ago, as a dining room year round. We didn’t even have a table in the old dining room!
