23 November 2006 2,012 views 5 Comments

happy birthdayWhat better way to launch my menu plan posts than with the offerings that I made for my mother’s birthday today? :) The reason I came up with this category is cos I know how overwhelming it can be sometimes to decide what goes with what. Sometimes you just want someone to put together the combinations for you. Well, I know I do! LOL!

OK ok ok. On to the food. What did I make?

Well here was the morning’s offerings (yes morning… the lady has gone off to a bday tea. aiaiaiai!)

Menu


Ciabatta

Bread: Freshly Baked Ciabatta

Chickpea Fettucine

Entr?ɬ©e: Chickpea Fettucine

Rumprint Cookies

Yummers no? I think so! :)

4 Hours Before: Continue Ciabatta dough
3 3/4 Hours Before: Ciabatta’s First Rising
