FNSI

I have been working through my list, checking things off, so I can spend some time sewing tonight for Friday Night Sew In.  I think I feel like some hexie sewing!  If you want to join us look for the Friday Night Sew In button on my side bar, click on it and you can register to join in!

We have a "Celebrating Age" evening tomorrow night, really just a chance to treat the older folk at church, so today I have been busy making things for it ...

Minestrone soup

Wholemeal buns

Lemon Yoghurt Cake

This lemon cake is very yummy although the photo doesn't do it justice and I better not cut it yet since it is for tomorrow!  It is so easy to make with a food processor and makes a really big cake.  I have included the recipe in case anyone is interested:

Lemon Yoghurt Cake

1 3/4 cups sugar

rind of 2 lemons, peeled with a potato peeler

2 large eggs

1 cup oil

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup yoghurt

2-3 Tbsp lemon juice

2 cups self-raising flour

Blend the sugar and rind in the food processor until the peel is finely chopped.  Add the eggs, oil and salt and process until thick and smooth, then add the yoghurt and lemon juice and blend to mix.  Add the flour and process just enough to combine with the rest of the mixture.  Pour mixture into a non-stick, sprayed and floured 23cm ring pan (which holds 7 cups of water).  Bake for 30 minutes.  Enjoy.

I also made some gifts for the older folk:

24 chocolate gifts

Tomorrow I just need to make more buns and some roast veges to go with the roast beef, and thankfully the meat isn't on my list!

Josh (11 years) came home from school yesterday with his first bit of sewing ...

Joshua's pencil case

There wasn't much choice of letters and Josh wanted to write 'Shrek' (note the green Shrek ears!) so he ended up with the SHRX, then his dad suggested he add the 'T'' so it is a cross between a T-Rex and Shrek!  Cute!!

Well, that has been a long post, I am looking forward to some stitching tonight and will think of you all doing the same around the world!

Happy stitching, Wendy.
