Cook Up With Vicki No 6...Bag Update...And A Win!!!

Another Cook Up with Vicki ...and I love having these...
this almost always turns out to be a Tuesday evening...
For tonight...Veal Cutlets with Sherry Mushrooms and Giant Yorkshire Pudding...
I wasn't able to get Veal Cutlets so I used Rib Eye...
and not having any Sherry on hand I used Marsala...thought it wouldn't hurt...
I loved it...Mr Armchair thought it a bit too sweet...
Swiss Brown Mushrooms...the recipe also stated Field Mushrooms which I couldn't get so I used Portobello...
I'm not a huge mushroom lover but I think the Swiss Brown has converted me...absolutely delicious!!!

Green Buttered Garlic Beans...


And here's the Yorkshire Pudding...
I used Gluten Free Plain Flour so it probably didn't rise as much as it should've...
I've never had Yorkshire Pudding before...but I loved it!!!

Rib Eye Steak with Marsala Mushrooms...
Oops a mushroom fell on the Pudding...
Yorkshire Pudding and Green Buttered Garlic Beans!!!
Served with a red...
For a Yorkshire Pudding recipe from Donna Hay...go over here

And this is Donna Hay's 50th Issue Celebration which I did the Cook Up from!!!

This is the pattern from Anni Downs that I am using for


this bag...Now if I can get my act together and stop dreaming about what to cook in the oven I could get this done for this months's OPAM (One project a month)!!!

Meanwhile my luck's been holding out with me and when I came back from Carerfest I had the news that I had won a pattern over at Gail Pan Designs...
The pattern is entitled Annabella's Flower Garden...
this came with perfect timing as we had just lost a very special person...
and she loved her garden...having left 2 of her plants for me to look after!!!
So this will remind me of Kerri...

Gail also sent this very sweet little photocard!!!
Thank you so much Gail...your news put a smile on my face at just the right time!!!
Bon Appetit...Dzintra
