We've invited friends over an English afternoon tea today so my late morning has been spent baking some delights whilst listening to four High School Students playing sax, drums, double bass and guitar. You know who your friends are when you need to record some of your talent for applications to Music School!
Needless to say, I baked up a batch of cheese scones and they were devoured quickly whilst the boys had a break from playing. It was fun to listen as I baked.... live music to entertain me certainly beats the radio!
So, what did we bake; well, Brian is lactose intolerant so I've had to consider that and finding margarine (yuk!) to replace the butter has been a bit of a nightmare. Everything, apart from one brand had buttermilk or whey in it. Still, I found some nucoa (which is apparently, brilliant for baking!)and we'll find out at about 4.30pm just how good it is. We have made:
Lemon drizzle cake
Victoria Sandwich Cake
Plain scones
Cheese scones
and we'll also be having egg sandwiches and ham sandwiches, with lots and lots of tea.
I delivered Zoey's shoes today; a little bit big as expected but she'll grow into them. Keegan was too involved in Mickey Mouse and Pluto to try his on. But, I'm sure they will be cute also.
