Day 4

LUNCH: Lunch with Nigel and Pam was a simple dish of tomato, onion, cheese and bacon melts on country grain bread, accompanied by a pot of coffee.

AFTERNOON TEA: Made 6 cup slice recipe. This recipe came from a recipe book given to me by my mother-in-law several years a go. I have used it heaps. You can vary the recipe just by changing a couple of the ingredients. Today the ingredients used were...
1 cup SR flour

1 cup sugar

1 cup sultanas

1 cup coconut

1 cup (soy) milk

2 Tblsp cocoa

1/2 cup chopped crystalised ginger

Mix all ingredients, pour into slice tin and bake about 30 mins @ 180C.

Ice with chocolate/lemon icing.

DINNER: Chicken and vegetable lasagne

Fry onions, garlic and sliced chicken pieces. Add can of tomatoes, salt and pepper.

Make white sauce...melt butter, add plain flour, saltand pepper and cook a couple of mins. Add milk....cook until thickened.( I do the sauce in the microwave, it's quicker, less mess. Just whisk every couple of mins.)

Chop any other vegetables, eg carrots, broccoli, corn, mushrooms.

Make layers of chicken mix, veges, lasagne sheets and white sauce. Finish with layer of lasagne with white sauce on top. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in oven at 180C until cooked through and golden on top...about an hour.
