A hop, skip and a jump

A hop, skip and a jump from September to November, it's almost as though October never was. So here is just a short recap for October. If there are any typos in the text please forgive me. No need to highlight them and send me a message, like all good mistakes, I cannot go back and undo them.

Naked Lamingtons

Happy birthday

My niece turned 7 and we ate the cake before the guests arrived. Wait until you taste the frosting, white chocolate ganache, you will also have a second slice (or a third).

Baking and caking

My sister-in-law made this delicious lemon drizzle cake. We also got some slices to take home.

On Saturday for lunch I made the roasted vegetable tart, which we had for supper as well.

'Koek en tee' for lunch

Hungry as wolves

I made a great lunch on Sunday, finger-licking good. Royal potato salad, from a week in the Kitchen cookbook, sticky pork sausages, roast chicken and a big salad. Dessert was good old fruit salad, with plain yoghurt. Then for teatime there was ginger cake, yum, yum, only 2 pieces left! The ginger cake recipe is also from Karen Dudley's book, a week in the Kitchen.
