Day two

Well our baby girl has steadily improved through the day so we're hoping her cold is getting better and I did manage to get some cooking done... As well as eat last nights dinner!

For breakfast I made a delicious batch of lemon pancakes, which we actually ended up eating about 1pm.
I then baked a batch of poppyseed rolls and lemon curd cupcakes. The rolls turned out well although I made sure I did knead them properly which I'm usually a bit lax on. The lemon curd was a bit tricky and I did end up with some scrambled egg crumbs in there, although they were unrecognisable once cooled.

Dinner then was last nights reheated! Firstly I had to joint a chicken for the first time - very tricky! I used a combination of a carving knife and kitchen scissors... I'm definitely not much of a butcher. Using the chicken I made coq au vin, and served with creamed potatoes and fried cabbage with bacon - a huge success as my husband has never liked cabbage.

Dessert was creme brûlée yummy
