Get outta the kitchen

I decided to spend a lot less time in the kitchen. Regular readers will know I often have up to 4 hour sessions at a time, creating all sorts of tasty things with my increasing supply of free range eggs. Despite the reduced hours my productivity has increased - and it's thanks to a long awaited piece of equipment. Last week I decided to treat myself to a food processor, which has cut my manual time by loads. In no time at all I've whisked up a family sized quiche, a chicken and vegetable pie, half a gallon of vegetable soup, 2 dozen buns, 2 fruit cakes, 2 trays of fruit, coconut and choc-chip flapjacks. This means my cake tins, fridge and the freezer are quite full. Plus, there's quite a few attachments I still haven't used yet. I can remember well over 35 years ago my mum getting the state of the art Kenwood Chef. It had so many attachments and accessories and we enjoyed her weekend home baking sessions. She was much more adventurous than me (but my eggs are better).
