Making some pastry this afternoon. I’m making a sausagemeat flan, much enjoyed in our household.
I don’t do much baking these days. Since the children left home and there’s just the two of us, I don’t bother much and our waistlines could probably do without home made cakes.
it's a conundrum - I used to like cooking, but there was only me and someone with a really feeble digestion - so I used to make buffets and take them into work :-)
Nice set up - my Lakeland rolling mat has to be pinned down as it's so bendy - but there's no point in buying another as I barely use it.
@anniesue The Lakeland mat is recently bought. It’s a silicone one which feels weird to me. I bought it to replace an old plastic mat I’d had for around 30 years. Come to think of it, most of the things in this photo are old. The white plastic rolling pin was a present to me from my grandmother and she died in 1978 so it must be around 50 years old!
Nice composition Gillian and it tells a story. I have exactly the same problem as you, I love baking and I love pastry and cakes but Chris and I really don't need to be increasing our waistlines, quite the reverse. Fav.
