Hallo, Hallo!
How has all my lovely followers been? I'm so, so sorry about not posting for ages - I've been quite busy!
Well, on Tuesday I decided to make mathmatical dinner. You see, I've been watching a lot of Vi Hart's youtube channel, and she has such a lot of cool math stuff! I found a video of Borromean Onion rings, and I liked the look of them so much! Then I found Optimal Potatoes (You "math" them instead of "Mash" them - to math them you boil them whole, then when soft you half them, then half them again, etc.)
So I decided to make Mathed Potato, Borromean Onion Rings, Hexagonal Burgers, and Gravey.
It turned out pretty well -although I got potato all over the floor as well as in the bowl, and most of the Borromean Onion rings fell apart due to not enough batter. The burgers came out of their nice Hexagon shape, but vaguely resembled a hexagon.

I'm Back, with Cottage Pie!!!
Hello every one!
I'm back! Sorry for taking so long to come back to put up new recipes - I've been busy with school work and other stuff!
I have a new recipe for you today. Yesterday I made a lovely Cottage Pie for dinner, and every one loved it. So I'm putting it up one here:
WillowUnicorn's Cottage Pie.
Eight Onions
Ten small carrots
1kg of Mince, preferably beef, but pork will do.
5 tomatoes
One ladle full of beef stock
Pinch of salt
Ten medium potatoes
milk
butter
Chop up the onions and put them it a big-ish pot. Add some cooking Lard/Tallow to the pot, and let it heat up, mixing it now and then to stop the onions from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Chop the carrots in half, then slice them to look like half circles. Add them to the pot.
Take the mince, and put it into the pot. Mix the mince, onions and carrots together. Put in the salt.
Chop the tomatoes up and add them to the pot. Take the stock and add it to the pot. Mix it up, and put it on a low heat. Stir every now and then, and leave the lid off.
Once the meat is cooked, or (if you are waiting for some one to get home) once it is time for dinner soon, bring a pot of of water to the boil. Whilst you are waiting for it to boil, wash the potatoes and chop them into thin slices, leaving the skin on them. When the water is boiling add them to the water, and let them cook until you are able to spear them on a fork.
Drain the water from the potatoes, and put the oven on 180 degrees Celsius. Put the potatoes back in the pot, and add a splash of milk and a wad of butter. Mash it into the potatoes. I like creamy mashed potatoes, so if it isn't creamy enough I add more milk.
Spoon the Mince mix into a large tray with tall sides. Place dollops of the Mash onto the Mince mix and spread it around with the fork. Continue doing that until the Mince mix is covered by the Mash (if you have left over Mash, you can either add it to the tray or use it for something else. My Brothers ate the left over mash).
Cook for five minutes in the oven.
Please let me know if you make it, and if you add anything, like spices! I love to see knew recipes.
See you later!

Meat Loaf
Hullo cooks!
Sorry, I have taken longer than I meant to - I've been updating my Poem blog:http://theblogofpoems.blogspot.com.au/
and my story:https://community.lego.com/t5/NINJAGO-Stories/Stormchild-and-the-Ninja/m-p/7191144#M92565
But I now have I recipe for you - Meat Loaf! Hopefully you'll all like it :)
Meat Loaf
2 carrots
2 onions
Italian Herbs
1Kg of mince meat
Put oven on 180
Grate the carrots and put them in a large bowl. Grate or finely dice the onions and add them to the bowl.
Sprinkle the Italian Herbs on to taste - it can be as much or as little as you like, depending on how you want it to taste.
Put in the mince and mix it all up. Add the egg and give it another mix.
Pat the mixture into a cake tin. If you have more left over, put it into another tin.
Put the tin/tins into the oven. I don't time it - it tastes nicer the longer it cooks.
I hope you like the Meat Loaf - I have only made it two times and my Mum, Dad and bros love it :)

Italian...
Hullo!
Sorry for taking so long to write, I have been very busy. I don't have a recipe for today, but I should have one next week.
Last month my Mum, Dad, Brothers and I went to the new Jamies Italian for dinner. It was so nice in there. The food is amazing. I had a type of pasta and a drink, which I have forgotten what it is called. The Dessert was amazing- Icecream topped with butterscotch sauce and smashed honeycomb. Yum! However my youngest brother wasn't impressed with his bowl of icecream - he only had one small scoop.
Here is the shops website:

I have also wrote a letter to Jamie Oliver asking him to dinner. Fingers crossed he says yes!
Don't forget to comment if you go (or have gone) to Jamies Italian! :)

Apple Crrrruumble!
Hello!
I have been busy with school,and cooking dinners. I was looking through my journal full of recipes today, and I found my apple crumble recipe. I have been looking for a recipe to put on here for a while. So here it is!
Apple Crumble
200g flour
100g butter
apples
cinnamon
Put the flour in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Butter a glass dish. Chop up some apples and put them in the dish(use as many as you need). Get a handful of the crumble and put it ontop of the apples. Use as much as you need. If you still have some crumble left over,chop more apples and put the rest on. Turn the oven onto 180c. Put some cinnamon on the crumble. Once the oven is heated put the dish/s into the oven for 20-40 minutes. Serve with yoghurt,ice-cream,or just plain.
If you want sweet crumble,add Rapadura sugar to the flour.
I hope you like this recipe!
