Day One Hundred and Thirty Six - Vol au Vents and Falafel

Dear all

Today my ever-alarming lack of portion control came into full effect on cooking on Vince and Darren even to the point where I didn't even make it to the main course as the boys were full from the aperitifs!

I cooked up many, many things including a cobbler ( this time made from papaya, cantaloupe and blueberries, I am heartily enjoying experimenting with cobbler. As is D). I also whipped up a banana and walnut loaf as there were three bananas on the counter that were looking ever so sad and squishy. I added oats which gave the loaf an interesting texture. Vince described it ( in a positive way) as 'dense'.

The great reveal occurred when I presented the lads with vol-au-vents, filled with an [improvised] recipe of scrambled eggs, mushrooms, onions, sausage and loads of garlic. Also accompanied by a ton of garlic bread and home made falafel ( I really pulled out all the stops this evening)

Below the beginnings of my falafel. I ended up deep frying them which made them a little heavy. I will try to grill them next time. A great [and semi healthy] snackette!
